Elastomeric pipe covering is a flexible, closed-cell thermal insulation. The closed-cell foam design has a micro-cell, non-porous structure that prevents moisture wicking, attenuates HVAC noise, and dampens mechanical vibrations. Elastomeric thermal insulation provides excellent protection against thermal loss, sound transfer, and condensation. It can be used for both industrial and mechanical applications.
This rubber pipe is widely used in the HVAC/R and plumbing markets for its cold weather flexibility, durable skin surface, exacting manufacturing tolerances and lasting performance.
Rubber Pipe Insulation is also called Hydronic Pipe Insulation in different specs and was commonly referred to as Rubatex in the past.
Its SuperAir Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube is a top-quality close-cell, rubber foam insulation that is designed to stop the loss of heat, decrease condensation and grant the ability to reduce noise for pipe systems. This insulation tube is flexible, easy to set up and constructed to stand up to extreme temperatures, which makes it appropriate for hot as well as cold water pipes used in HVAC systems as well as refrigeration and general plumbing applications.
This Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube is made for easy installation. It can be easily slipped over the pipe due to its elasticity and self-sealing sides. If needed, contact glue can be employed to warrant a secure fit; however, the tube’s design generally permits it to fit comfortably without adhesives.
The SuperAir Foam Pipe Insulation Tube can be developed to impart high-quality insulation for different pipe systems, dramatically decreasing heat transfer and increasing energy efficiency.

What is the maximum temperature the SuperAir Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube can handle?
The SuperAir Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube is designed to withstand a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both hot and cold applications. It can handle temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F) and as high as 105°C (221°F). This makes it an excellent choice for hot water pipes, chilled water lines, and refrigeration applications. Its high temperature tolerance ensures durability in both extreme heat and cold environments, maintaining insulation efficiency throughout.
Can the SuperAir Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube be used outdoors?
Yes, the insulation tube can be used outdoors with appropriate precautions. While the closed-cell rubber foam provides excellent moisture resistance, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh weather elements may degrade its performance over time. To ensure longevity and maintain insulation quality, it is recommended to cover the insulation with a UV-protective layer or weatherproof casing if used outdoors. This added layer will shield the foam from potential UV damage, moisture intrusion, and wear due to environmental factors.
How do I know which thickness of insulation to choose for my pipes?
Choosing the right thickness depends on the level of thermal insulation required and the environment in which the pipes are located. Here are some general guidelines:
The thicker the insulation, the better the resistance to heat transfer, helping reduce energy costs and improve efficiency. Thicker insulation is often recommended for colder climates or high-temperature applications.
Does the SuperAir Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube prevent condensation on pipes?
Yes, the closed-cell structure of the rubber foam is designed specifically to minimize condensation. When cold water flows through pipes in warmer environments, condensation can naturally occur on the pipe surface, potentially causing mold growth and moisture damage. This tube’s closed-cell construction acts as a vapor barrier, effectively reducing condensation formation by preventing warm, moist air from coming into direct contact with the cooler pipe surface. This insulation tube is especially beneficial in refrigeration and chilled water applications, where condensation control is crucial.
Is it necessary to use adhesive or additional tools during the installation of the insulation tube?
The SuperAir Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation Tube is designed for simple, tool-free installation, making it highly convenient for both professionals and DIY users. The tube is flexible and typically fits snugly over the pipe, thanks to its self-sealing edges, which means it does not require adhesives for basic installations. However, for applications in high-traffic or outdoor areas where insulation may shift or loosen over time, using a contact adhesive can provide additional security and prevent any movement of the insulation. Applying an adhesive may also be beneficial for insulation in areas with frequent temperature fluctuations to ensure the insulation remains tight and intact.
Check that the pipe’s surfaces are dry and clean prior to installation to accomplish maximum insulation performance.
