INSULATION: IMCOLOCK® has a low thermal conductivity and very low water v***r transmission rate.
This low density product demonstrates excellent thermal, physical and chemical resistant properties and has a broad service temperature range between -330°F and 210°F (-201°C and 99°C). It can be installed in commercial, industrial and residential insulation projects.
Acceptable for use with heat tracing/heat tape.
Installation
IMCOLOCK® is pre-slit with factory applied pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to both seam surfaces and has convenient built-in release tabs for easy installation: slip on the tube, pull the tab, and pinch it shut. It can be easily pushed around P-traps and fittings, though mitering is recommended for optimum performance. All butt joints should be sealed with 320 or 620 (black) Contact Adhesive or other approved sealing system. It is easily cut with a sharp knife.
IMCOLOCK® is available in a wide range of l.D.s and is sized to fit over copper couplings and fittings. It should be installed on pipes that have been pre-tested for leaks, are not presently hot, and have application temperatures that will not exceed 210°F (99°C).
Outdoor Applications
IMCOLOCK® pipe insulation is made from UV resistant polyolefin resins. For severe UV exposure (rooftop applications) or where optimum performance is required, the product must be protected from the elements. Various jacketing or cladding materials are recommended, ie. PVC, CPVC, AL, etc. If coatings are going to be used, please refer to technical bulletin for recommended coatings.
Underground
For buried lines above the water table, use a clean fill such as sand (3" - 5" layer) to protect IMCOLOCK® before backfilling. It is recommended to use a minimum 1" wall thickness and the materials to be buried are properly sealed at all seams and butt joints with an approved contact adhesive. For optimum performance, the lines should be encased in a conduit to protect them from problems associated with ground water.
