THERMAFLEX FRZ Pipe Insulation 15mm x 9mm

THERMAFLEX FRZ pipe insulation is a professional-grade thermal protection solution engineered for pipes with a 15mm diameter. Manufactured from high-quality polyethylene foam, this insulation features a 9mm wall thickness, providing a reliable barrier against thermal energy loss and environmental factors. It is designed to maintain system efficiency by preventing heat transfer and protecting plumbing and heating lines from freezing temperatures.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this insulation is its exceptional thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.035 W/(m·K), which ensures minimal heat loss in both heating and hot water systems. Its flexible structure allows for easy installation around bends and corners without compromising the integrity of the material. The closed-cell polyethylene foam construction provides excellent resistance to moisture absorption, effectively preventing condensation and the associated risks of corrosion or mold growth on pipe surfaces. With a density of 40 kg/m³, the material offers robust physical protection while remaining lightweight and easy to handle during the installation process.

Suitable for

• Residential heating system piping
• Domestic hot and cold water plumbing
• Preventing pipe freezing in unheated areas
• Reducing energy consumption in HVAC systems

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for outdoor applications exposed to direct, prolonged UV radiation, as the polyethylene foam may degrade over time without additional protective cladding. It is also not suitable for high-temperature steam pipes or industrial processes exceeding the maximum operating temperature of +95°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene foam
• Inner diameter: 15 mm
• Wall thickness: 9 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Thermal conductivity: 0.035 W/(m·K)
• Density: 40 kg/m³
• Operating temperature range: -80°C to +95°C

How to use

To install the THERMAFLEX FRZ insulation, measure the length of the pipe section to be covered and cut the insulation tube to the required size using a sharp knife. If the pipe is already installed, the insulation can be slit longitudinally, placed over 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. For optimal performance, all seams should be sealed to maintain the integrity of the insulation layer.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes matches the 15mm inner diameter of the insulation.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system stays within the -80°C to +95°C range.
• Calculate the total length of piping required, keeping in mind that each tube is 2 meters long.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry before applying the insulation. When installing in areas prone to high humidity, seal all longitudinal and butt joints with professional-grade insulation tape to prevent moisture ingress and condensation.
