    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.
    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.

    Aluminum Foil

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Aluminum Foil.
    Shield, insulate, and make quick repairs—aluminum foil is a jack-of-all-trades. Wrap it around pipe to hold in heat and keep out moisture, or around wire to block electromagnetic interference. To patch damaged insulation, tape it over tears and holes. You can also use it to cover surfaces while painting and processing.
    Annealed—This foil is softened until it's as flexible as possible, often called "dead soft." It conforms to complex shapes and contours, making it a good choice for sealing joints and wrapping HVAC ducts.
