Performance of classical insulation decays because of ingress
of humidity and liquid water, thermal effects such as burn-in,
mechanical abuse and tarnished or dirty cladding. Usually
we dont even see how much energy is spend due to pipe degradation.
This makes us think that reparation would be much more expansive
than the use of degraded pipes, which is why repairs are often
neglected or deferred.
Pyrogel with its properties offers an excellent solution
for reparation of old and decayed pipe insulation.
