Frequently Asked Questions

T-FIT insulation products are designed for long-term performance and can last over 20 years, depending on the application and maintenance conditions.

T-FIT® insulation has an ultra slim profile, making it ideal for complex pipe runs. It can be supplied in different thicknesses, depending on the specific product variant and application. The T-FIT Hygiene insulation, for example, is available in 6.35mm and 12.7mm thicknesses​​​​.

Yes, T-FIT Insulation is highly effective at preventing condensation. Its hydrophobic properties ensure that surfaces remain dry, significantly reducing the risk of water damage and microbial growth. This helps maintain a safe, dry, and hygienic environment, crucial for food and beverage operations.

T-FIT products are manufactured using high-quality, closed-cell foam materials that significantly reduce the risk of outgassing. This ensures that they maintain a clean environment, critical for sensitive applications such as semiconductor and biopharma industries.

No, T-FIT insulation is resistant to microbial and fungal growth, thanks to its closed-cell structure and material composition.

The maximum service temperature for T-FIT insulation products can be as high as 160°C (320°F), depending on the specific product and application requirements.

The lowest service temperature we advise for T-FIT insulation products is as low as -80°C (-112°F), depending on the specific product and application requirements. We have tested T-FIT in cryogenic applications (-196°C / -320°F) and it has been effective so please speak to our insulation experts for your application.

The line temperature after insulation with T-FIT products depends on the specific application and environmental conditions. However, T-FIT insulation is designed to maintain stable temperatures, significantly reducing heat loss and energy consumption.

No, T-FIT insulation does not require an outer cladding for most applications as it is inherently hydrophobic, durable and resistant to external damage. However, cladding can be provided for additional protection if required.

Yes, T-FIT insulation products are certified by various third-party organizations for performance, safety, and compliance with industry standards.

While the initial cost of T-FIT insulation might be higher than more traditionally used materials, the lifespan of the product is far superior. Meaning the long-term savings in energy costs, maintenance, and durability make it a more cost-effective solution over the product’s lifespan.

Crosslinking is a process where polymer chains are chemically bonded to form a three-dimensional network. This enhances the material’s mechanical properties, making it more durable, stable, and resistant to heat and chemicals. For T-FIT products, crosslinking ensures superior performance and longevity in demanding industrial environments.

The thermal conductivity of T-FIT insulation products is very low. At a mean temperature of 0 °C (32 °F), the thermal conductivity is 0.0314 W/m.K (0.22 Btu.in/h.ft2 °F), providing excellent thermal insulation performance.

PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and stability. It is often used in applications requiring high purity and resistance to aggressive chemicals.

Closed cell insulation has tightly packed cells that provide better thermal resistance, moisture barrier, and structural integrity compared to open cell insulation, which has interconnected cells that are less effective at blocking heat and moisture.

Yes, T-FIT insulation products are made from closed-cell foam, which provides superior thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and mechanical strength.

Yes, T-FIT can supply cladding if required. We offer a range of cladding options to complement our insulation products, providing additional protection and durability for your insulation system. Please get in touch to discuss your enquiry in more detail.

Yes, T-FIT insulation can be reused. Its durable construction allows for easy removal and reinstallation, making it a sustainable choice for long-term use.

Yes, we offer measurement services to ensure a perfect fit for your insulation needs. Our experts can visit your site to take precise measurements, ensuring that your T-FIT insulation is custom-fitted to your specific requirements. Please get in touch to discuss your needs in more detail.

Yes, T-FIT provides installation training to ensure that your team can install the insulation correctly and efficiently, maximizing its performance and lifespan. Please get in touch to discuss your needs in more detail.

No, only use sealants that are recommended or supplied by T-FIT. These are formulated to work effectively with T-FIT insulation to maintain its integrity and performance.

Yes, T-FIT insulation can be installed during operation. Its design allows for quick and easy installation, minimising downtime and disruption to your processes.

Yes, T-FIT offers solutions for insulating equipment, tanks, valves, and other components. Our products are designed to fit various shapes and sizes, providing comprehensive thermal protection for all parts of your system. Please get in touch to discuss your needs in more detail.

Yes, T-FIT insulation is designed for easy installation, with features such as pre-cut shapes and interlocking systems to simplify the process and reduce installation time.

No, T-FIT insulation is designed to minimize particulate generation during both installation and use, making it suitable for cleanroom and high-purity environments.

T-FIT insulation is resistant to most standard industrial cleaning agents, including disinfectants and sanitizers commonly used in cleanroom environments. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific cleaning recommendations.
