There are various types of insulation materials available, such as glass wool, stone wool, EPS (expanded polystyrene), XPS (extruded polystyrene), and PUR (polyurethane). Choosing the right insulation material depends on various factors, such as the desired insulation value, budget, and application. Consult Isosafe to find the appropriate insulation solution. Below, our various methods are explained.

Insulation
Insulating pipes is important to prevent energy loss and to ensure that heat remains in the desired location. Insulating pipes can help improve the energy efficiency of a system and can also contribute to the safety of the installation.
There are various materials that can be used to insulate pipes, including glass wool, rock wool, polyurethane foam and rubber. These materials all have different properties and insulation values, so it is important to choose the right material based on the specific needs and requirements of the installation.

Cold insulation for pipes is used to prevent heat loss and improve the efficiency of the cooling system. It also protects against condensation and prevents pipes from freezing.
There are several materials that can be used for cold insulation of pipes, such as rock wool, Pirr/Pur, cellular glass shells and elastomeric foam. These materials all have their own benefits and applications, depending on the specific needs of the project.
When insulating pipes, it is important to ensure a good fit and secure the insulation layer to minimize heat transfer. It is also important to avoid possible thermal bridges, such as at connections and fittings.
It is also important to choose the correct thickness of the insulation layer, depending on the temperature of the coolant and the ambient temperature.
Cold insulation.
Acoustic sound insulation is often used in buildings where it is important to reduce noise pollution, such as concert halls, meeting rooms, offices and homes. It can help to create a quiet and comfortable environment, where outside noises are reduced and sounds from inside cannot escape outside.
Sound insulation?
Pipe insulation limits heat loss, but after a certain period the pipe will still freeze. A heating cable (also called tracing tape, heating tape or tracing cable) will emit heat. This heat compensates for the heat loss of the pipe, so that the pipe no longer freezes.
These heating cables can also be used for process heating or other applications in the food industry or petrochemical industry where other pipes must be kept at different temperatures. For example, in pipes in industrial kitchens that must be kept at 40°C to prevent clotting.
