Polystyrene vs. polyurethane foam for insulation
Polystyrene vs. polyurethane foam for insulation
(OP)
Not sure if this is the right forum but I am looking for any experiences with polystyrene foam as insulation material for piping. Seems like polyurethane is widely used but polystyrene comes at almost half the price and also has a very low heat transfer coefficient. I appreciate anyone sharing some experiences with both materials. Thanks...

Then we cover it with a moisture barrier and then tin over the top with bands not screws. We also use the armaflex material, but usually on small piping or really small tanks. The joints are the problem on the armaflex, otherwise I really like that product because install costs are almost nothing, it goes on very fast.
