Abstract:
Provided is an insulation product, optionally in a tubular form, that includes a coated foam insulation layer, where the foam insulation layer has a closed-cell structure. The coating can comprise a thermoplastic elastomer that seamlessly covers and is bonded to an outer surface of the elastomeric foam layer in the absence of an adhesive bonding material to protect the foam insulation layer, e.g., during outdoor insulation applications. A pipe where the insulation product is installed is also provided, as is a method of installing the insulation product, and a method of producing the insulation product.

Claim (Index 14):
A pipe installation, comprising:\n (a) a round pipe; and (b) a composite tubing encompassing an outer surface of the pipe, wherein said composite tubing comprises: (i) a foam insulation layer having a closed-cell structure, optionally wherein the foam insulation layer is an elastomeric or polyethylene foam insulation layer having a closed-cell structure, and (ii) a coating layer bonded to an outer surface of the foam insulation layer, optionally wherein said insulation product is free of an adhesive to bond the coating layer to the outer surface of the foam insulation layer.
