Why is Fibermesh 650 recommended generally when blanket insulation is to be used on pipework?
Flexible blanket insulation has much less compression resistance than Rockwool Pipe Insulation. This is partly related to lower density and partly to the flexibility itself. It is important that insulation compresses minimally in service, since compression means insulation reduction. Therefore the high density Fibermeshª 650 is recommended for pipe insulation where a blanket is preferred. The superb flexibility of the product ensures close contact around pipe circumference and the mesh reinforcement assists stability.
