    Chemical-Resistant Cellular Glass Pipe Insulation

    Absorbs no moisture, so it’s immune to organic solvents, most acids, and corrosive environments. It's often used in chemical-processing systems and underground lines.
    Slit Tubes
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pipe Insulation. Chemical-Resistant Cellular Glass Pipe Insulation, Slit Tubes.
    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.
    Jackets—An added defense against moisture for pipes in damp outdoor and underground environments. These metal jackets keep moisture from sneaking past, preventing corrosion and temperature loss.
    Insulation Tapes—Wrap around pipe insulation for a tighter seal.

    Tight-Space Silica Aerogel Pipe Insulation Sheets and Strips

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pipe Insulation. Tight-Space Silica Aerogel Pipe Insulation Sheets and Strips.
    Squeeze into pipe racks, equipment skids, and other crowded spaces without sacrificing thermal protection. Extremely thin and lightweight, this insulation flexes into spaces where other insulation can't fit. For added durability, layer multiple pieces, wrap it in foil, or opt for a laminate top.
