Corrosion-Resistant Dimensionally Stable Foam Glass Pipe Insulation
This corrosion-resistant dimensionally stable foam glass pipe insulation is produced from glass-based material that resists corrosion and is not attacked by most chemicals; the exact system compatibility depends on the chemicals present and the installation conditions, so each application should be checked against the project specification. Because the sections are inorganic and do not absorb water, they do not hold moisture or contaminants against the pipe, which is a common cause of corrosion under insulation in petrochemical and marine service.
The sections are also dimensionally stable and non-combustible, so they keep their shape and their fire safety through the life of an aggressive plant. They are a dependable choice for refineries, chemical works, coastal installations and other environments where durability and chemical resistance matter as much as thermal performance.

Supply and Installation
The sections are supplied as pre-formed pieces in standard pipe sizes and can be cut, fitted and bonded on site with conventional tools. Every batch is produced from recycled glass under a controlled kiln process and inspected against the relevant standards before dispatch. The material is lightweight yet tough, easily handled by a single installer, and it is fully recyclable at the end of its long service life; it is produced without CFC or HCFC blowing agents. If you would like the full technical data sheet, the applicable test report or a project specific quotation, our team will gladly assist and advise on the most suitable size, thickness and grade for your piping system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the pipe insulation corrosion resistant?
A: The glass-based material resists corrosion, but final suitability must be confirmed against the specific chemicals and installation conditions of each project.
Q: Does it cause corrosion under insulation?
A: No. Because it does not absorb or hold water against the metal, it avoids the wet environment that drives corrosion under insulation.
Q: Where is it normally used?
A: It is used in petrochemical, chemical, marine and coastal installations where chemical resistance, moisture resistance and fire safety are all required.
