Ultralite Molded Pipe Insulation Fact Sheet

Ultralite Molded Pipe Insulation (MPI) is the product of choice for industrial-grade insulation requirements worldwide. Ultralite MPI is primarily made from perlite, a kind of volcanic rock, manufactured through a process of pressure-molding and high-temperature drying. Complying with the rigid standards of ASTM C610, Ultralite Molded Pipe Insulation is recognized to withstand even the most demanding extremes in temperature, thus making it a world-class insulation product.

Why choose Ultralite Molded Pipe Insulation?

Superior Thermal Performance Vibration Resistant
Ultralite MPI is ideal for use in industrial piping applications since the insulation remains intact even when vibration builds up along the outer surface of the pipes. With other insulating materials, vibration gradually displaces the insulation material from the upper area of the insulation to the lower area, causing a weakening in thermal performance.

EXCELLENT
Among all insulation products, Ultralite MPI possesses the highest thermal performance in the industry. Even at extremely high temperatures, Ultralite MPI remains incombustible, fireproof, and very durable.

Ultralite Perlite

Non-Corrosive
Ultralite MPI contains the least amount of chloride compared to other insulation products in the industry. When moisture penetrates other insulating products, chloride is produced and gradually corrodes pipes being insulated. Ultralite MPI is not only non-corrosive, but also acid resistant.

Safe to Use
Ultralite MPI is the only insulation product that is absolutely free from asbestos and other carcinogenic substances. On the other hand, even mild exposure to mineral wool and calcium silicate may cause serious health risks in the long run.

Low Cost + Long Life (Durable)

Except for Ultralite MPI, all other pipe insulation products are imported, making them more costly. Ultralite MPI is locally manufactured since industrial-grade perlite is found here in the Philippines.
