Styrofoam
Leading Fabricator of Styrofoam Pipe Insulation
Styrofoam™
Rigid thermoplastic foam used extensively in industrial and commercial piping applications.
Jacketing Options
Thermal Fabrication supplies an array of jacketing options to use with Styrofoam™.
Styrofoam™
This structure, along with the naturally water-repellent nature of the polystyrene resin, gives XPS PIB products high compressive strength, low friability, and excellent resistance to water-vapor and water-absorption from freeze-thaw cycling. Styrofoam™ is non-dusting and non-irritating and isn’t a known food source for mold and mildew.
Applications: Styrofoam™ is used extensively in industrial and commercial piping applications. With a service temperature of -320°F to 165°F (-196°C to 74°C), it’s a preferred material for low-temperature systems, both for minimizing heat gain and preventing surface condensation.
It maintains its key insulating properties in low-temperature applications and other environments with high humidity and high-moisture conditions. Typical applications for Styrofoam™ include:
- Ammonia refrigeration lines
- Freezer rooms
- Chilled water piping
- Transport pipelines
- Cold storage systems
- Refrigeration equipment
- Pharmaceutical plants
- Cryogenic systems
