    About Selecting Thermal Insulation
    industrial info icon

    Compare R-value and temperature range to find the insulation material that best suits your application.

    Fiberglass Pipe Insulation

    When foam can't handle the heat, go with fiberglass insulation. It withstands temperatures hundreds of degrees hotter than rubber or polyethylene foam, so it's often used on hot water supply and steam lines.

    Kraft Paper Jacket

    Ready to fit over straight pipe sections. Just pull open the insulation, snap it around your pipe, and seal it closed with the adhesive strip.
    Kraft Paper Jacket— A lightweight jacket shields insulation from dust, minor scratches, and wear during handling.
    Insulation Tapes—Wrap around pipe insulation for a tighter seal.
