Thermotec 4-Zero pipe insulation has been developed to meet the
demanding standards of commercial hot and cold water reticulating
systems. With excellent thermal insulation performance, Thermotec
4-Zero provides the energy retention properties required by current
building specifications.
Thermotec, aluminium foil faced 4-Zero, meets the needs of the specifier
that requires a high performing product while offering optimum
resistance to fire. This product gives a “zero” rating when tested in
accordance with AS/NZS1530.3 “early fire hazard properties of materials”.
This pipe insulation contains up to 50% recycled materials, is
environmentally safe, and meets the stringent low V.O.C. GreenStar
and Green Building requirements.
