FOAMGLAS® insulation is a lightweight, rigid material composed of millions of completely sealed glass cells. Each cell is an insulating entity. FOAMGLAS® insulation’s all-glass, closed-cell structure provides the following benefits: Constant Insulating Efficiency, Zero Water Vapor Permeability, Moisture Resistance, Fire Protection, Corrosion Resistance, Long-Term Dimensional Stability, Vermin Resistance, CFC & HCFC Free. FOAMGLAS® Insulations are long-lasting, require little maintenance and are ideal for: Low temperature pipe equipment, tanks and vessels, Medium & high temperature pipes and equipment, Hot oil & hot asphalt storage tanks, Heat transfer fluid systems, Hydrocarbon Processing systems, Chemical processing systems, Under & above ground steam & chilled water piping, and Commercial piping & ductwork.

Extruded Polystyrene is a rigid thermoplastic foam manufactured by a proprietary extrusion process that forms a uniform, void-free, closed cell structure. This structure, along with the naturally water-repellent nature of the polystyrene resin, gives XPS PIB products high compressive strength, low friability and excellent resistance to water vapor and water absorption from freezethaw cycling. XPS PIB is non-dusting and non-irritating and is not a known food source for mold and mildew.

Polyisocyanurate pipe insulation is a closed-cell, high-performance insulation for pipe, vessel, equipment and duct applications. Polyisocyanurate pipe insulation products come in a selection of densities and compressive strengths. The pipe insulation features one of the lowest ambient k-factors among all pipe insulations: 0.19 BTU · in/hr · ft2 · °F at 75°F mean temperature (0.027 W/m · °C at 24°C) and can be used over a broad temperature range from -297°F to 300°F (-183°C to 148°C).
