Hot & Cold Sectional Pipe Insulation    

CLOSED CELL	-	Will not absorb water should condensation occur.
FACTORY BONDED FOIL	-	Foil is thermally bonded, it will not delaminate with time as can potentially happen with glued foils
TOUGH AND FLEXIBLE	-	Thermobreak™ Tube SPI is tough, durable, but flexible which allows quick installation in tight and restricted places
GOOD COMPRESSION RESISTANCE	-	Tough, robust , yet flexible foam. Thermobreak™ Tube will not compress during the life of the installation
IMPERMEABLE TO WATER VAPOUR	-	Thermobreak™ Tube SPI has a low level of water vapour transmission due to the tight molecular structure of the foil and the nature of the closed cell foam.
OUTDOOR USE	-	The UV resistant foil used in Thermobreak™ Tube SPI allows the product to be used in outdoor applications.
NON FIBROUS	-	Thermobreak™ Tube SPI does not emit dust or fibres, and will not cause itchiness, so no special gloves or masks are required.

• The tough, 2 meter flexible foam allows for installation in restricted areas and the 2 meter length
  reduces the number of joins.
• Each section is pre-slit, just open and slip over the pipe. The foam will close easily to allow quick
  and easy application of the foil tape.
• The robust nature of the foam and foil makes “mitrering” easy. A sharp long blade knife is all that
  is needed. The tube will not collapse when cut, ensuring a neat accurate cut.
• The flexibility of the tube allows compression but ensures it will return to it original size.
  Tip: Cut the foam tube 15– 20 mm longer than the distance between blocks, slip the foam
  over the pipe, compress and let it expand onto the blocs. This will ensure a tight seal
  between blocks and insulation. No more “shaving of the insulation to fit the gap.
• Building Site “house keeping” is reduced due to the clean, no mess nature of the product, once
  again contributing to reduced labour and associated costs.

COMPLYING WITH THE BCA & AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS

• BCA 2006 & AS/NZS 4859.1 specified R values for insulation of pipes
• AS/NZS 3500.4, which states all insulation exposed to the weather should be "of a weather
  resistant type or surrounded by a weather resistant covering".
• AS1530.3 with the following results:
