Thermaflex Thermocomp IS 28/9 Pipe Insulation

The Thermaflex Thermocomp IS 28/9 pipe insulation is a high-performance solution engineered to enhance the thermal efficiency of plumbing and heating systems. Constructed from durable polyethylene, this insulation provides a reliable barrier that minimizes heat loss and prevents the formation of condensation on pipe surfaces. Its precise design ensures a snug fit for pipes with a 28 mm outer diameter, making it an essential component for maintaining stable temperatures in fluid transport networks.

Advantages

This insulation material offers excellent thermal resistance due to its low thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.035 W/(m·K), which significantly reduces energy waste in heating and cooling applications. The polyethylene structure is lightweight yet robust, featuring a material density of 40 kg/m³ that ensures long-term durability and structural integrity. Its wide operating temperature range from -80°C to +95°C allows for versatile use across various industrial and residential environments, providing consistent protection against thermal fluctuations.

Suitable for

• Residential heating and hot water distribution systems
• Commercial plumbing networks
• Preventing heat loss in pipework
• Condensation control on cold water pipes

This product may not be suitable for outdoor installations exposed to direct, long-term UV radiation without additional protective cladding. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or environments where temperatures exceed the specified maximum limit of +95°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Inner diameter: 28 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

To install the Thermaflex Thermocomp IS 28/9, ensure the pipe surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. Slide the insulation tube over the pipe, ensuring a tight fit along the entire length. For sections requiring bends or junctions, cut the insulation at appropriate angles to maintain continuous coverage. Secure any joints or seams with compatible adhesive tape to ensure a complete thermal seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes matches the 28 mm inner diameter of the insulation.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system remains within the -80°C to +95°C range.
• Calculate the total length of pipework to determine the required number of 2-meter sections.

For optimal performance, ensure all joints are tightly sealed and that the insulation is not compressed during installation, as maintaining its original wall thickness is critical for effective thermal insulation.
