Choosing an EZRAP™ Material System
EZRAP™ materials are selected based on operating temperature, access frequency, and outer jacket type. Both options integrate with standard insulation systems; the difference lies in long-term performance and durability under repeated access.

STANDARD-TEMPERATURE WRAPS
Tychem® OptionsDuPont™ Tychem® is the standard EZRAP™ material for low-temperature systems requiring routine service access. It is typically used on systems operating up to approximately 200°F (95°C) and coordinates cleanly with PVC-jacketed insulation. Tychem® wraps are well suited to applications where covers are periodically removed for inspection or maintenance.
Use Tychem® when:
- Operating temperatures are within standard ranges (up to ~200°F / 95°C)
- Access is routine or periodic
- PVC jacketing is used, or compatibility with common insulation systems is required
- Lightweight, cost-effective construction is preferred
Why it works:
Tychem® provides dependable environmental protection and clean integration with insulated piping systems. EZRAP™ Tychem® wraps are constructed with higher-quality elastic, closures, and labeling than typically found in comparable insulation covers, supporting repeat access while maintaining fit and durability over time - Operating temperatures are within standard ranges (up to ~200°F / 95°C)

FIRE-RESISTANT WRAPS
Silicone-Fibreglass OptionsEZRAP™ Silicone-Fibreglass is selected for higher-temperature systems and service points requiring frequent or ongoing access. It is typically used on systems operating above ~200°F (95°C) and up to approximately 1000°F (540°C), and integrates cleanly with metal-jacketed insulation. This material system is engineered to withstand repeated removal and reinstallation in demanding mechanical and industrial environments.
Use Silicone-Fibreglass when:
- Operating temperatures exceed standard ranges (above ~200°F / 95°C)
- Access is frequent or ongoing
- Metal jacketing is used
- Long-term durability under repeated service is critical
Why it works:
EZRAP™ Silicone-Fibreglass wraps are constructed using fire-resistant hook-and-loop closures, high-temperature thread, and heat-stable labeling. Each component is selected to maintain fit, performance, and structural integrity through repeated access cycles in environments where standard materials degrade over time. - Operating temperatures exceed standard ranges (above ~200°F / 95°C)
