XPE/XLPE Foam Tube for Insulation
Our XPE/XLPE foam tube for insulation is a closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene sleeve engineered for air-conditioning systems, water piping, HVAC ductwork, and automotive AC lines. It pairs an EPE and XPE/XLPE foam core with a corrugated XPE/XLPE outer skin for abrasion resistance and easy handling, and is Class B1 fire rated, anti-UV, and heat resistant, with optional custom printing for system identification. We supply it in continuous lengths to suit any project, from a single coil through to bulk reels.
