Foil Faced Phenolic Foam Sections & PIB

Pipework shall be insulated with Supaphen / Kooltherm pre-formed rigid phenolic foam pipe sections, aluminium foil faced, joints sealed with self adhesive aluminium foil tape. Covered with 0.8mm polyisobutylene sheeting, joints lapped and solvent welded.

components: 

Self-Adhesive Aluminium Foil Tape

Bostik T74 High Tack Foil Tape has been developed to deliver instant adhesion, mouldability, durability and reliability even when applying at temperatures as low as -5°C.
Designed for use in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning sector, it is ideal for lap sealing foil faced insulation materials, both rigid and flexible.
It is manufactured to the highest specifications and is coated with a high tack pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, which is protected by a removable release paper.
