Armacell Tubolit is widely popular among laggers in the UK and EU, and why not? These foam pipe insulation sections are cost-effective, flexible and very easy to install. We recommend the tubolit range of pipe lagging solutions from Armacell for the following reasons:
Thermal conductivity: Tubolit has a low thermal conductivity of 0.040 W/m·K, which means it will keep the heat inside pipework. This also means that hot water will remain hot, and just warm, so you do not have to re-heat water. Low thermal conductivity also means that these foam pipe insulation sections do not let pipework lose heat and freeze.
Make: Tubolit pipe insulation from Armacell is made with the highest quality polyethene in accordance with EN 14313. It is a low-density product with a very low water transmission rate. Foam tubing insulation wicks moisture and protects pipework from condensation and other moisture-related issues.
Acoustic Insulation: This pipe lagging also soundproofs pipework which means it absorbs the sound or noise created by the movement of the fluid within the pipes. By insulating pipes with tubolit pipe insulation, your workplace will be more efficient.
Versatile Application: Armacell pipe insulation is mostly used for indoor heating and plumbing applications. However, it can also be used as a short-term, inexpensive fix for outside pipework. It's also utilised in loft installations as it effectively protects the pipes in the loft areas from freezing over. Tubolit is a versatile pipe insulation solution.
Environmentally Friendly: Armacell Tubolit is a long-lasting, sustainable and environmentally friendly product. Foam pipe lagging does not have any CFCs or HCFCs.
