Modular Pipe Shoes Technical Supplement

6.0 INSULATION BANDS 6.1 MP-A I-R

For adding galvanic separation and mild acoustic isolation to MP-PS pipe shoes .

MP-A I-R Applications

• Creating temperature separation between pipes and pipe clamps to reduce temperature transfer to sub-structure

• Creating surface separation between pipes and pipe clamps to prevent direct contact between different materials

Product Information

Material composition

EPDM + self-adhesive layer + release liner

MP-A I-R Advantages

• Galvanic separation — helps prevent direct contact between pipe clamp and pipe ( helping to avoid acoustic bridging )

• Adaptable — suitable for all MP-PS pipe shoes due to the clamping range of the pipe clamps ( no specific clamp diameter required )

Material composition details • EPDM ( ASTM D2240 )

• Shore A 66 ° ÷ 75 °

• Tensile strength min . 0.73 ksi ( 5 MPa )
