Abstract

Improved insulation segments for fluid conduits such as pipes and ducts, having a non-tacky moisture resistant strip which extends along edges of the insulation which are adapted to be secured to other portions of the insulation, or to other insulation segments using a pressure sensitive, adhesive tape. This strip preferably comprises a cured adhesive which bonds to the paper or other surface to which it is applied which provides a good, dry, dirt free, smooth surface to which the pressure sensitive adhesive tape will strongly adhere. This strip may also comprise a layer of a plastic or a layer of a metal foil. A tape construction is also disclosed incorporating a non-tacky, moisture resistant strip which can be applied to insulation segments. This tape construction provides both a temporary closure and a permanent closure.
