Rubber Pipe Insulation

Rubber pipe insulation is a common type of insulation that is made from a flexible, closed-cell elastomeric material that is designed to resist water, moisture, and UV light. While Rubber Pipe Insulation and Nitrile Rubber Pipe Insulation are technically different, generally both terms are used interchangeably. Synthetic rubber is a broad term that encompasses a variety of different types of elastomers, including nitrile rubber.

Nitrile Rubber is a special type of synthetics rubber manufactured to be especially resistant to oil, fuel and several industrial chemicals and as such is prioritized in environments and in systems where such a used.

Rubber pipe insulation comes in pre-formed tubes that are slit lengthwise to make it easy to install on pipes. The insulation is available in different sizes to fit various pipe diameters and thicknesses. It is commonly used in commercial and residential settings, such as in HVAC systems, hot water pipes, and refrigeration systems.

Rubber pipe insulation provides energy efficiency, reduced condensation and pipe sweating, noise reduction, and increased system durability. It is also one of the easier types of insulation to install and maintain, making it a popular choice for many applications.
