PVC Cladding for Cleanroom Pipe Insulation
CleanTech-Lite is a PVC cladding system for cleanroom pipe insulation in the pharmaceutical and food
industries. Installed over suitable insulation, it provides a smooth, easy-to-clean outer surface for insulated
pipework in cleanrooms and clean production areas.
The glossy white PVC cladding is available in thicknesses of 500 µm and 700 µm, providing a chemical-resistant,
durable and flame-retardant finish designed for environments where cleaning is a priority.
CleanTech-Lite is used in the Danish pharmaceutical industry for a wide range of insulation applications. Several
production facilities now specify the product as part of their standard solutions for insulation cladding.
The pipework cladding system includes coverings for straight pipes, elbows, tees and end caps, together with
removable insulation boxes for flanges and valves with Magnetic closure system. This enables a consistent outer finish across the installation’s
different components.

Benefits of PVC Pipe Insulation Cladding with CleanTech-Lite
An easy-to-clean cladding full system
Suitable for hot, cold & alternating temperature operating process systemstems. CleanTech-Lite creates a glossy clean and uniform appearance for the surfaces in the process areas, that almost begs for being kept clean. Material composision and the thickness of 500µ/700µ has proven to be a durable non-metalic Cladding for the chosen Insulation it protects.
No Starps or Trunk locks nor cutting edges
The 500µ/700µ thick, non-metalic cladding, is glued with the environmentally friendly and non-toxic Glue&Sealer. Straights, Elbows, Tee’s and Endcaps are Glued and Sealed with CT-L Adhesive (Glue&Sealer). Magnets keep the Box closed, therefore no Starps or Trunk locks nor cutting metal edges, coursing injuries on operators, clothing or cleaning staff. Many year as prefered cladding in major Pharma clean rooms has shown that a more effective cleaning is possible.
No use of rivets and screws
Rivets and screws will create risk of damaging the underlying insulation surface coursing water ingress into the insulation materials. From 5°C to 175°C operating installations are particularly sensitive to CUI do to penetrating water, and in some cases this even compromises the manufacturer’s product warranty. Rivets and screws can also damage personel protection clothing and cleaning equipment, waisting time and money.
Made in Europe
This means that all available technical and fire data, BL-s2, d0, are in accordance with EN standards. The sizes for fittings such as Elbows, Tee’s, end caps, are adapted to insulation thicknesses in mm used in Europe. This results in it being possible to install the cladding so that joints are watertight and that production/shipping take place optimally, environment- and time-wise.
Cladding System for piping in clean production areas
Furthermore, CleanTech-Lite Cladding has been developed in collaboration with specialists from the Danish pharmaceutical industry to meet GMP requirements for cleaning insulated pipework as part of the interior surfaces in pharmaceutical and food-grade cleanrooms.
PVC jacketing for pipe insulation forms the outer covering of an insulated pipe system. The insulation beneath it provides the thermal performance, while CleanTech-Lite cladding provides a protective, easy-to-clean outer surface.
The following products are available as standard:
- Straight rolls, 20 m lengths, for diameters up to Ø150 mm
- 90° elbows (horizontal/vertical) for outside diameters from 52 mm to 467 mm
- 45° elbows for outside diameters from 40 mm to 271 mm
- Tees for outside diameters from 52 mm to 323 mm
- End caps for diameters from 60 mm to 720 mm
If the required size is not available for very large ducts or vessel heads, we can arrange supply through one of our subcontractors. These items are manufactured from white-painted aluminium sheet.

Flanges and Valves
Our CleanTech-Lite boxes are removable boxes with magnetic closure.
No tools required to remove and reassemble, means fast and easy service of the system. Minimizes the need for foreign service personnel.
The boxes are covered with the same easy-to-clean foil, as the Cladding for the corresponding pipe systems.
CleanTech-Lite Box is a produced from the special HT PIR foam that can be used on flanges and valves operating in temperatures from -40°C up to 200°C.
On the inside, insulation material is sealed with an FDA approved sealer.
A CleanTech-Lite Box is made bespoke and in desired insulation thicknesses. The boxes are delivered with the number of divisions required. Boxes for cold items must, in addition to the magnetic closure, must be sealed with our FDA approved sealer. This is to ensure against ingress of water vapor as a result of vapor pressure differences.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pipe insulation and insulation cladding
Pipe insulation provides thermal performance. Insulation cladding is the outer covering installed over the
insulation to provide a protective surface. CleanTech-Lite is a PVC cladding system for insulated pipework in
clean production areas.
What is PVC jacketing for pipe insulation
PVC jacketing is another term for PVC cladding installed over pipe insulation. CleanTech-Lite includes coverings
for straight pipes and fittings, together with removable insulation boxes for flanges and valves.
Where can I find technical data and installation instructions

instructions. Contact us if you need help identifying the relevant documents for your project.
Which cleaning agents can be used with CleanTech-Lite?
No cleaning agents are known to have caused damage to CleanTech-Lite Cladding. The product has been in service at facilities operated by some of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers for approximately 10 years, with no reported product complaints. Ultrasonic cleaning has also been used without any reported adverse effects.
What operating temperatures is the system suitable for?anTech-Lite?
CleanTech-Lite Cladding is installed over the insulation material and can withstand temperatures up to 80°C. This is generally sufficient, as external surface temperatures are typically intended to remain below 50°C.
At locations where CleanTech-Lite Cladding would otherwise come into direct contact with hot surfaces, such as end caps, flange boxes, or valve boxes, a small T-FIT Clean gasket is installed to provide a thermal break and reduce heat transfer to the cladding. T-FIT Clean can withstand temperatures up to 165°C.
