This is a list of the insulation products that we use on pipework.
H&V Pipe Sections are strong lengths of pre-formed insulation with a one-piece, factory applied foil facing with integral self-adhesive lap. The integral lap ensures fast and easy installation: just snap the Sections onto the pipe, peel off the backing tape and smooth down for a completely sealed joint. The Sections are designed for thermal and acoustic insulation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning pipework operating in the temperature range 0°C to 700°C.
Advantages
• Resilient, high performance barrier provided by
one-piece, reinforced foil with integral lap
• Fast and simple installation reduces costs and time on site
• Installation may be carried out in winter conditions
• Tape requirement reduced
• Class O finish
Fire
Pipe Sections are non-combustible and are rated Class O as defined within the Building Regulations.

H&V Section
Phenolic Section
The high closed cell content of Phenolic insulation gives a very high resistance to moisture penetration. The thermal efficiency reduces the necessary thickness requirement, providing CO2 emissions and saving energy. Phenolic benefits from low flame spread, low smoke emission and gives off virtually no toxic fumes.
Advantages
• Class 0 Fire Rating for both Phenolic and jacket.
• Negligible smoke emission.
• Suitable for use in food processing, pharmaceutical, medical and other clean air environments.
• 10 Year Guarantee when installed in accordance with The Kooltherm Specification.
Fire
Phenolic pipe sections are rated Class 0 as defined in the Building Regulations Approved Document B (1992) and achieve a smoke obscuration rating of less than 5%, when tested in accordance with BS 5111:Part 1.
ArmaFlex
With its exceptional, inbuilt, water vapour barrier Armaflex is particularly effective at preventing moisture ingress and ensuring long term thermal efficiency. The thermal properties of Armaflex will not rapidly deteriorate over time as other insulation materials may and, by keeping moisture as far from the pipe surface as possible, Armaflex reduces the risk of expensive under insulation corrosion.
Advantages
• Armaflex is dust and fibre free. It will not emit any particles or fibres, even when cut into shapes and fittings.
• The vapour barrier of Armaflex cannot be compromised by surface punctures or tears.
Fire
Armaflex achieves a Class 1 surface spread of flame - the highest possible rating when tested to BS 476 Part7: and the superior fire performance meets the Class O Building Regulations 1991 standards.
