Tubular formed pieces of high-density fiberglass insulation used to insulate hot or cold pipes. Fiberglass pipe insulation is comprised of a glass batch held together with a binder, covered with one of a variety of jacketing materials, and sealed along an open seam with an adhesive. The glass batch may be comprised partially, entirely, or not at all of post-consumer recycled material. The binder is most commonly a polymer resin. Fiberglass pipe insulation is installed by cutting a tube to size, fitting the open seam around the pipe, removing the contact paper from the jacketing, and sealing the jacketing to itself with pressure, closing the tube. Contiguous pieces of fiberglass pipe insulation may be connected with jacketing-adhesive butt strips. The insulation may have a variety of thicknesses, and may accommodate a variety of pipe diameters. The jacketing may take several forms or be absent altogether; we have selected all service jacketing (ASJ) as the most common jacketing type. We have evaluated 3/4 in. insulation for 2 in. pipes; certain content ratios may vary depending on the size of insulation specified.
