A material that is used for thermal or sound insulation usually on pipes or ductwork. The material used to be asbestoes but is now a better product that is not harmfull. The material is placed on pipes in long sections and cut to fit. It is than wrapped with a cloth and adhesive so that it will stay in place and can be painted.

Noise radiating from piping and ductwork can be a serious problem in modern building construction. Turbulent flow piping noise can be caused by water or other liquids passing through elbows, valves or other transition pieces. Duct noise is caused by air flowing past obstructions or branches which results in the vibration of the metal ductwork. This vibration then radiates noise into the building.
