Expanded Polystyrene - Pipe Insulation

Field of Applications:

By virtue of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) pipe section’s physical and thermal properties, it’s widely utilized as an insulating material to insulate the chilled water systems to prevent the condensation and to protect against freezing.

Besides, EPS Pipe sections are extensively used to insulate the Refrigerant pipes and other utility lines in the cold stores thus to prevent the refrigeration losses and condensation. Generally working efficiency of the Refrigerant equipments will obviously depend on the quality and reliability of the Insulation material which used, such circumstances EPS pipe insulation dictates that it is nothing but the best insulation material.

For almost 50 years, EPS Pipe and Duct insulation has secured a firm position for itself as an insulating material in the chemical factories, textile and paper mills, ice factories, dairies breweries, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) and all kind of processing industries.

Why EPS pipe sections are considered as the best for Insulation?

From the engineering and economic aspects, It is often advisable or even essential to protect pipelines from heat losses and condensation. Low thermal conductivity, low permeability to water vapor, low water absorption, high dimensional stability, good mechanical strength and protection from fire hazards are the aspects which will constitute the ideal insulating material. EPS pipe expanded polystyrene pipe section incorporates all these aspects well and is therefore particularly effective. If at all EPS pipe sections get mechanically damaged during fixing or installation, the damage will be localized and water will not spread to the remainder of the insulation as happened with most other material. This great advantage is due to the fact EPS pipe sections have a completely closed cell structure.

EPS pipe section does not support infection or pest life and are unaffected by fungi and bacteria, making it the ideal choice for pipes operating in areas such as food processing etc. , where the highest degree of hygiene is required.

EPS pipe sections are manufactured on “Made to Order Basis” according to the customer’s sizes and specifications. It can be cut with Shiplap joints and Tongue & Groove arrangement with the aid of High-Tech CAD / CAM - CNC Machines. Normally EPS Pipe sections are cut in to two halves with readily wrapped FRK facing (Foil Reinforced Kraft paper) in order to simplify the installation works at the sites.

How to place an order for pipe section?

EPS pipe section can be ordered by providing the following basic information or alternatively you can call / send us your requirement by mentioning application temperature and other details in order to recommend a suitable one.
