Thermal, Acoustic, and Fire Performance

Izocam Glass Wool Preformed Pipes provide:

• Excellent thermal insulation performance
• Effective sound and vibration reduction
• Enhanced fire safety thanks to their non-combustible glass wool construction
• Low thermal conductivity across a wide operating temperature range

Thermal conductivity values may vary depending on operating temperature, in accordance with the manufacturer's technical specifications.

Installation Guide – Izocam 4 Inch (114 mm)

Before installation, select a preformed pipe insulation that matches the nominal pipe diameter of 4 inches (114 mm). Open the insulation along its factory-cut slit and position it around the pipe.

For optimal performance:

• Ensure all joints fit tightly without gaps.
• Uncoated products should be protected with a bitumen emulsion, bituminous membrane, galvanized steel jacket, or aluminum cladding.
• For aluminum foil-faced products, seal all joints using self-adhesive aluminum foil tape at least 75 mm (7.5 cm) wide.
• In double-layer applications, stagger the joints and position the outer layer joint on the underside of the pipe whenever possible.
