Abstract:
There is provided an insulation foam in a tubular form, comprising at least one seamless layer of crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) closed-cell physical foam. The tubular foam can favourably be used to thermally insulate tubes that convey water, refrigerants or other fluids, in particular, copper tubes for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) applications, as well as plastic tubes for use in domestic plumbing systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems. There is also provided a method for manufacturing a crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) closed-cell physical foam in seamless tubular form, an insulation foam material using the same and a polymer blend for its manufacturing.

Claim (Index 16):
The crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) closed-cell physical foam according to  claim 14 , wherein the dimensions of the crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) closed-cell physical foam comprise an internal diameter ranging from 6 mm to 22 mm, a foam thickness ranging from 4 mm to 20 mm; and wherein the PEX chemical foam sheet comprises a foam thickness ranging from 2 mm to 6 mm (T2); and wherein a protective sheathing comprises a thickness ranging from 20 to 250 \u03bcm.
