Choosing the right pipe insulation products can add years of trouble-free life to your mechanical insulation system. Dow offers a full line of product solutions to meet a wide range of application challenges.

  • TRYMER™ polyisocyanurate pipe insulation – closed-cell, high-performance insulation with one of the lowest ambient k-factors among all pipe insulations. Produced in a selection of densities and compressive strengths for a broad range pipe, vessel, equipment and duct applications, TRYMER insulation has excellent dimensional stability. Service temperature range: -297°F to +300°F (-183°C to +149°C).
  • STYROFOAM™ extruded polystyrene pipe insulation – closed-cell, high-performance insulation with excellent resistance to water and water vapor, good thermal efficiency and a very clean surface for fabrication into sheets, pipe, tank and vessel coverings and other shapes for a variety of thermal insulation applications. Service temperature range: -297°F to 165°F (-183°C to +74°C).
  • SARAN™ Vapor Retarder Film and Tape – durable, flexible polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) jacketing materials for mechanical insulation systems. SARAN Vapor Retarder Film and Tape products further enhance the strong physical and thermal integrity of TRYMER and STYROFOAM pipe insulation products in below-ambient-temperature applications. Featuring low vapor permeance, from 0.010 perms to 0.03 perms, and high tensile strength and abrasion resistance, the products form an effective barrier to water absorption and moisture vapor drive into the insulation – even at elbows and fittings.

Dow pipe insulation products are backed by the reputation of The Dow Chemical Company, a global insulation leader for more than half a century. Count on Dow for products of superior quality that deliver long-term performance at an exceptional value.
