Afico Glasswool Pipe Wrap

AFICO Glasswool Pipe Wrap is a semi-rigid fiberglass insulation roll manufactured from fine, stable, and uniformly textured inorganic glass fibers bonded together with a non-water-soluble, fire-retardant, thermosetting, and heat-resistant resin. It is designed to wrap easily around large diameter pipes, round ducts, oval ducts, vessels, and tanks while providing the rigidity required for a neat and durable installation. It offers reliable thermal and acoustic insulation for industrial and commercial mechanical systems.
