Primary Uses for Armaflex Tubolit
Armaflex Tubolit polyethylene foam is designed primarily as an indoor pipe insulation. However, it can also be used as a temporary outdoor insulation solution over the winter months. Please note that Armaflex Tubolit will degrade faster when exposed to outdoor elements, so it is not recommended as a long-term outdoor insulation.
