Frequently asked questions about Tubolit Tape (Armacell’s tape for Tubolit insulation):

1. What is Tubolit Tape?
   Tubolit Tape is an adhesive tape designed to seal joints and connections in Tubolit polyethylene foam pipe insulation.
2. What is the primary purpose of using Tubolit Tape?
   Its main purpose is to create a tight seal at insulation joints, preventing thermal bridges and maintaining the integrity of the insulation system’s vapor barrier.
3. What material is Tubolit Tape typically made from?
   It is usually made from a polyethylene (PE) based foam with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Some variants might use a modified acrylate adhesive.
4. What colors is Tubolit Tape usually available in?
   Common colors include grey and blue, often matching the standard Tubolit DG and AR insulation colors, respectively.
5. What are the typical dimensions of Tubolit Tape?
   Common dimensions are around 50mm in width and 3mm in thickness, with a roll length of 10 meters, but variations can exist.
6. Is Tubolit Tape self-adhesive?
   Yes, it features a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing with a release liner for easy application.
7. What is the operating temperature range of Tubolit Tape?
   The maximum operating temperature is typically around +85°C. The minimum is as per usual heating and plumbing installations.
8. What is the thermal conductivity of Tubolit Tape?
   The declared thermal conductivity (λd) at 40°C is around ≤ 0.045 W/(m·K) for some Tubolit self-adhesive tapes.
9. Does Tubolit Tape offer water vapor diffusion resistance?
   Yes, as part of a closed-cell PE insulation system, it contributes to the overall high water vapor diffusion resistance (µ ≥ 5000 for the system).
10. What is the fire classification of Tubolit Tape?
    The reaction to fire classification for some Tubolit self-adhesive tapes is Euroclass E. Some enhanced versions like Tubolit DG Plus achieve BL-s1, d0.
11. Is Tubolit Tape UV-resistant?
    Standard Tubolit Tape might not be specifically designed for long-term direct UV exposure. For UV resistance, the white polyolefin copolymer coating of Tubolit tubes is more relevant.
12. Is Tubolit Tape easy to apply?
    Yes, the self-adhesive backing allows for straightforward manual application.
13. Can Tubolit Tape be used for repairing damaged Tubolit insulation?
    Yes, it can be used for minor repairs to maintain the insulation’s integrity.
14. Is Tubolit Tape compatible with all types of pipe materials?
    Yes, it is generally compatible with copper, steel, and plastic pipes used in heating and plumbing.
15. What is the shelf life of Tubolit Tape?
    The shelf life for self-adhesive tapes is typically around 1 year when stored correctly.
16. What are the recommended storage conditions for Tubolit Tape?
    Store in dry, clean rooms at normal relative humidity (50-70%) and ambient temperatures (0°C – 35°C).
17. Does using Tubolit Tape help maintain energy efficiency?
    Yes, by properly sealing joints, it prevents heat loss or gain, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the insulated system.
18. Where can I find the technical datasheet for Tubolit Tape?
    Detailed technical datasheets are available on the Armacell website and likely on the gitco-sa.com product page.
19. Are there different types of Tubolit Tape for specific applications?
    Yes, Armacell offers different tapes like Tubolit AR Fonoblock adhesive tape, designed for acoustic insulation of sewage pipes, and standard tapes for thermal insulation joints.
20. Why is it important to use Tubolit Tape with Tubolit insulation?
    Using the recommended tape ensures compatibility with the insulation material, maintains the system’s performance (thermal and condensation control), and helps achieve a professional and durable finish.
