Perlite Pipes and Boards

Gulf Perlite Pipe Sections are a pre-formed, high-temperature, corrosion resistant, water repellent, pipe and block insulation section, uniformly reinforced with a high strength fiber for use on systems operating up to 1200°F (650°C) as per ASTM C-610 suitable for high-temperature pipe insulation, e.g. Sulfur Conveying Lines. Gulf Perlite Pipe Sections are an inorganic, non-combustible section which meet and exceed the physical property requirements of ASTM C-610.

Gulf Perlite Pipe Sections have strong advantages:

High Thermal Performance
Minimal installation and maintenance costs
Corrosion Resistant
Water Repellent
Asbestos Free

Benefits of using Gulf Perlite Pipe Insulation:

Inhibits corrosion, where moisture and chlorides may become trapped between insulation and pipes
Gulf Perlite Pipe Sections offer non-combustible insulation
Consistent thermal performance up to 1200°F (650°C)
Contains non-organic binders, hence, no loss of insulation integrity due to binder burn out
Large selection of sizes, thicknesses and forms available
Conservation of heat
Provides protection to personnel
Immediate and reliable logistics and procurement support at short lead times and minimum breakage losses from our state-of-the-art, Dubai-based manufacturing facility

Technical Properties

Gulf Perlite Pre-Formed Insulating Pipes inhibit corrosion and are rigidly strong resisting damage.

Inhibits corrosion at elevated temperatures
Easy to inspect and repair
Increases life span of the pipe or equipment insulated
Postpones the time between servicing of the pipes and prolongs repairing cycle

Gulf Perlite Pre-Formed Pipes prevent the accumulation of Chloride Ions that may penetrate and corrode the pipes. They also resist against formation of acid and alkalis attacks.

Accelerated Corrosion Test

Day 1, Installation of Gulf Perlite Molded Pipe Insulation

Day 84, Subjected to cycle conditions(e.g.:temperature, weathering and saline water) to accelerate corroding

Perlite Insulated segments displays minimal corrosion
