Halogen-Free Insulation Tube: The Key to Safer High-Temperature Pipes

When it comes to high-temperature pipes, safety is always a top priority. That's why the US Navy has implemented the MSC 16 (67) SOLAS Agreement (IMO), which aims to eliminate CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) in stainless steel marine pipes. This agreement is a response to the many accidents and safety issues caused by the deterioration of insulation materials due to extreme heat and moisture.

Fortunately, there is a solution that can help prevent CUI and improve safety for high-temperature pipes: halogen-free insulation tubes. One of the most innovative products in this category is K-Flex ECO Tube. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits and features of this insulation tube and how it can help improve the safety and performance of high-temperature pipes.

What is Halogen-Free Insulation Tube?

Halogen-free insulation tube is a type of insulation that is free from halogenated compounds, which are known to produce toxic and corrosive substances when exposed to heat or fire. These compounds include chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine. Halogen-free insulation tube is designed to offer better safety and environmental performance than traditional halogen-based insulation materials.
