Which is the common accepted maximum design temperature for PUF insulation material to be used in a Pipe in Pipe sealine? Is it possible to use up to 110 °C or even more? Thanks

So I should say it´s acceptable.

Assuming that you are selecting the foam on the basis of pipeline maximum operating temperature, a typical maximum quoted for wet service moulded PU is 115 deg C (ref SPE 131618 ExxonMobil). Therefore, it suggests that a dry service maximum for PU foam could be higher. However, any rated temperature should be demonstrated by appropriate qualification testing.
