Polyisobutylene insulation covering (PIB) is the ideal waterproofing membrane for ventilation ducting and pipe insulation. It gives your exposed insulation and ductwork that final protective coating. This tough, water-resistant PIB insulation cladding sheet has high abrasion resistance and can withstand mechanical damage. It is produced from high molecular weight polyisobutylene, which is modified to achieve optimum properties.
It is resistant to UV and ozone and is a long-lasting and durable product. It shows exceptional physical properties even at temperatures as low as -30°C. PIB insulation exhibits excellent chemical resistance. It is made to last and effectively protects the pipe and duct insulation from damage due to extreme conditions. It is waterproof, so it does not support the growth of moulds and other microbes.

Polyisobutylene Insulation Cladding
Pipes and ductwork outside a building need protection, not only from heat loss but also from extreme temperatures, UV rays and so on. Insulating them is the first big step towards protecting these essential components of your H&V system from heat loss. However, insulating them alone does not guarantee security against the damage caused by the UV, rain or snow. This is weatherproofing and waterproofing PIB insulation comes into play.
At Buy Insulation Online, we stock chalked and paper-interleaved variants of PIB insulation in different sizes to ensure the topmost safety and protection of insulated pipe and ductwork.
Let's Discuss PIB insulation in detail:
What is PIB insulation cladding?
PIB insulation is basically insulation on a roll that is made using high molecular weight polyisobutylene. They are excellent waterproofing solutions and when used around insulated dust or pipework, they give superior protection against UV rays, moisture and damage.
Why use Polyisobutylene insulation cladding?
Insulation cladding like PIB rolls brings in many benefits:
- Helps protect insulated pipe and ductwork from dirt, dust, extreme temperatures, UV rays and ozone
- Easy to install. PIB insulation cladding can be cut to size on-site and welded on-site.
- PIB insulation does not crack or peel. Once installed, it does not require constant maintenance.
- This cladding insulation on a roll improves the service life of the pipes and ducts in the H&V system.
What is the service temperature of PIB Insulation cladding?
PIB insulation roll can be used in the temperature range of -34°C to 72°C.
How to install Polyisobutylene Insulation cladding?
- Cut the PIB insulation to the required size.
- Wrap the PIB insulation roll outside the insulated pipework.
- Allow an overlap of 80mm and 500mm side laps underneath the pipe or ducts.
- Join the ends together using a PIB welding agent or white spirit. Apply the welding agent using a stiff brush.
