    Strong-Grip Pipe Insulation Tapes

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Pipe Insulation. Strong-Grip Pipe Insulation Tapes.
    Seal joints and gaps in your line in seconds. This tape wraps around irregular shapes, tight bends, small-diameter pipes, and other hard-to-reach areas where you need a quick fix.
    Vinyl Foam with Foil Jacket—Prevent condensation from forming. The foil jacket repels moisture while also shielding pipes from dirt, dust, and minor scuffs.
    Butyl—Flexible enough to wrap around pipe without tearing or cracking.
    Buna-N/Neoprene/Vinyl Foam—This combination repels moisture to prevent condensation, drip formation, and mold growth.
    Cork Rubber—A layer of cork resists oil, reduces vibration, and dampens sound.

    Ceramic Alumina Fiber

    Withstands the highest temperatures of all our pipe insulation. Made of ceramic fiber, this insulation won't melt, sag, or degrade in extreme heat. It's often used in ovens, furnaces, steel mills, and other demanding environments.
    Alkaline Earth Silicate Ceramic Fiber with Foil Jacket—Withstands temperatures up to 2100° F. A foil jacket protects against dirt, dust, moisture, and minor scuffs. Its surface also reflects heat to keep temperature loss from pipes to a minimum.
    Calcium Aluminum Silicate Ceramic Fiber—Strong and durable, this insulation stays in place for many years without degrading.
    Ceramic Alumina Fiber—Handles higher heat and keeps the temperature of your line steadier than our other ceramic fiber insulation. It's ideal for your hottest applications, such as steam reformers and furnace piping.
    Adhesive Backing—Install insulation without having to hold it in place—simply position and secure it using band clamps or other components of the assembly. Apply while cool. Heat above 400° F starts to weaken the adhesive, but the insulation's temperature rating remains unaffected.
