Pipe insulation

"Insulation that fits like a glove"

Rigid polyurethane foams are used among other things for the industrial production of pipes. Polyurethane-insulated pipes are used wherever hot or cold media have to be conveyed from A to B. The diameter of these pipes ranges from a tiny 5 mm to a giant 2,000 mm with insulation thicknesses of up to 250 mm for long-distance heating pipes and those in the low-temperature range. There is no better insulating material for pipes used in long-distance heat transportation than Bayer MaterialScience’s rigid foams. Its most important function is to keep heat exchange with the environment to a minimum. The core, which lies between the inner steel pipe carrying the medium and a concentric protective jacket, provides maximum thermal insulation with minimum thickness.

The key advantages:
  • Broad range of application
  • Outstanding insulating capacity
  • Mechanical resistance
  • High heat resistance
  • Low water absorption
  • Energy saving in the transport of hot and cold media
  • Particularly suitable for district heating systems

The factory-pre-insulated pipes are easy to transport, store and install. They are manufactured by a casting technique, in which the cavity between the inner pipe and the outer jacket is filled with rigid polyurethane foam while they are in a horizontal, slightly tilted or vertical position. The casting technique is currently the most commonly used process because of its simplicity and its economy, and it can be used for any pipe diameter.
Bayer MaterialScience is currently one of the world's leading polyurethane raw material manufacturers for the pipe industry.
