FOAMGLAS insulation is a lightweight, rigid material composed of millions of completely sealed glass cells. Each cell is an insulating entity. FOAMGLAS insulations all-glass, closed-cell structure provides the following benefits: Constant Insulating Efficiency Zero Water Vapor Permeability Moisture Resistance Fire Protection Corrosion Resistance Long-Term Dimensional Stability Vermin Resistance CFC and HCFC Free
FOAMGLAS insulation is manufactured by Pittsburgh Corning in a basic block form. Blocks are fabricated into a wide range of shapes, thicknesses and sizes to satisfy industrial insulation requirements.

Pittsburgh Corning has developed insulation systems for a wide range of piping and equipment applicationsabove ground or underground, indoors or outdoorsat operating temperatures from -450F to +900F (-268C to +482C).
STANDARDS, CERTIFICATIONS* AND APPROVALS

FOAMGLAS insulation can be certified to conform to the requirements of: ASTM C 552 Specification for Cellular Glass Thermal Insulation Military Specification MIL-I-24244C, Insulation Materials, Thermal, with Special Corrosion and Chloride Requirement Nuclear Regulatory Guide 1.36, ASTM C 795, C 692, C 871 Flame Spread 5, Smoke Developed 0 (UL 723, ASTM E 84), R2844; also classified by UL of Canada, CR1957 ISO 9001:2000 UL 1709 For a listing of UL Through Penetration Fire Stop Approved Systems please search the UL Database at http://www.ul.com/ Once on this page click on CERTIFICATIONS on the left hand side. Under General Search click on UL FILE NUMBER and type in R15207 and then SEARCH Board of Steamship Inspection (Canada) Certificate of Approval No. 100/F1-98 General Services Administration,PBS (PCD): 15250, Public Building Service Guide Specification, Thermal Insulation (Mechanical) New York City Dept. of Bldgs., MEA #138-81-M FOAMGLAS insulation for piping, equipment, walls and ceilings New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code Dept. of State (DOS) 07200-890201-2013 City of Los Angeles General Approval RR22534
With the patented StrataFab System, blocks of FOAMGLAS insulation are laminated into billets using a special high temperature adhesive. These billets are fabricated into the desired shapes and sizes for pipe, tank, vessels, flanges and valvespractically any industrial insulation application.
Totally Impermeable
Long Term Performance
Because it consists of closed glass cells, FOAMGLAS insulation resists moisture in both liquid and vapor forms. When tested in accordance with ASTM E96, it has a permeability rating of 0.00 perm-in.
Noncombustible
FOAMGLAS insulation is 100% glass and contains no binders or fillersit cannot burn. FOAMGLAS insulation will not absorb flammable liquids or vapors. If a fire does occur, FOAMGLAS insulation will help contain it.
Corrosion-Resistant
All-glass FOAMGLAS insulation is unaffected by common chemicals and by most corrosive plant atmospheres. It does not promote metal corrosion and its moisture resistance will help keep water from reaching equipment and piping.
Dimensionally Stable
FOAMGLAS insulation is unaffected by temperature differentials and humidity. It will not swell, warp, shrink or otherwise distort. The insulation systems integrity remains intact.
High Compressive Strength
FOAMGLAS insulation can withstand loads which crush most other insulating materials. In a properly designed piping system, FOAMGLAS insulation eliminates the need for special treatment at pipe cradles. It also provides a firm base for roof membranes, jacketing or vapor retarders, prolonging their life.
