THERMAFLEX ZZ 28/6 Pipe Insulation

The THERMAFLEX ZZ 28/6 pipe insulation is a professional-grade solution engineered for the thermal protection of piping systems in both residential and commercial environments. Constructed from high-quality polyethylene foam, this insulation provides a reliable barrier that minimizes heat loss and prevents the formation of condensation on pipe surfaces. Its flexible design allows for easy installation on various piping configurations, contributing to improved energy efficiency and the overall longevity of plumbing and heating infrastructure.

Advantages

This insulation material offers excellent thermal properties, characterized by a low thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.035 W/(m·K), which ensures optimal temperature retention within the pipes. The closed-cell structure of the polyethylene foam provides high resistance to moisture absorption and mechanical stress, maintaining its protective qualities over an extended service life. Its lightweight and flexible nature simplifies the application process, even in confined spaces, while the material density of 40 kg/m³ provides a robust balance between durability and ease of handling.

Suitable for

• Heating system piping
• Domestic hot and cold water plumbing
• Residential building infrastructure
• Commercial HVAC piping systems

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for outdoor applications where it would be directly exposed to intense UV radiation or extreme weather conditions without additional protective cladding. Furthermore, it is not intended for use in high-temperature industrial steam lines that exceed the maximum operating temperature of +95°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene foam
• Inner diameter: 28 mm
• Wall thickness: 6 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Operating temperature range: -80°C to +95°C
• Thermal conductivity: 0.035 W/(m·K)
• Material density: 40 kg/m³

How to use

To install the THERMAFLEX ZZ 28/6 insulation, measure the length of the pipe section to be covered and cut the insulation tube accordingly using a sharp knife. If the pipe is already installed, the insulation can be slit longitudinally, placed around the pipe, and secured using appropriate adhesive or tape to ensure a tight seal. Ensure that all joints are tightly butted together to prevent thermal bridging and moisture ingress. For optimal performance, the surface of the pipe should be clean and dry before application.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes to ensure a snug fit with the 28 mm inner diameter.
• Calculate the total linear meters required for your project, accounting for fittings and valves.
• Assess whether the 6 mm wall thickness meets the specific thermal insulation requirements of your local building regulations.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, ensure that all seams are fully sealed with compatible insulation tape to maintain the integrity of the thermal barrier and prevent condensation buildup in humid environments.
