General Characteristics
The pre-insulated copper pipe and accessory system is a highly efficient solution for liquid transportation in industrial applications such as refrigeration, and cold and hot water systems. Manufactured with high-quality materials and under the strictest production standards, this system delivers excellent performance in various applications, including district heating/cooling and VRF/VRV systems.
Thanks to its innovative high-pressure injected rigid expanded PUR/PIR foam thermal insulation and mechanical protection, the ThermoZmart Pre Insulated Pipes and Fittings System effectively reduces heat/energy losses and optimizes energy resources, making it an ideal solution for the refrigeration industry and other fields.
Two-component high-quality insulation: polymeric isocyanate foam and cast ECO 360-40. This insulation leads the market due to its 99% closed cell structure, providing minimal thermal conductivity and high resistance to moisture absorption. Additionally, our insulation system is 100% ECO-FRIENDLY, as it is free from CFCs and HCFCs, and it uses the ECOMATE expansion agent, which does not harm the ozone layer. This product is also VOC-free, making it a 100% Eco-Friendly Expansion Agent classified by SEMARNAT, complying with the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols.

Pipe Component
The pre-insulated copper pipes and accessories consist of three main parts:
- High-quality central pipe:Ensuring safe and effective liquid/fluid conveyance.
- High-pressure injected rigid polyurethane foam insulation:Our PUR insulation effectively reduces heat/energy losses and optimizes energy resources, making it an ideal solution for the refrigeration industry and other fields.
- High-quality outer protection: We offer different options for the outer protection of our pre-insulated pipe, including PVC, anti-corrosive polyethylene tape, and corrugated polyethylene pipe (PAD). This ensures the mechanical protection and durability of our product.
Mechanical Protection Options
We offer three mechanical protection options for our pre-insulated copper pipe: PVC, smooth PAD, and corrugated PE. PVC is an economical choice that provides adequate protection for standard applications, while smooth PAD offers a more durable and robust solution for demanding environments. Corrugated PE provides additional protection against mechanical damage and is ideal for applications requiring higher resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
With these options, our customers can choose the mechanical protection that best suits their specific needs. pueden elegir la protección mecánica que mejor se adapte a sus necesidades específicas.
Hydraulic PVC:
Interior of the building, without UV protection.
Smooth PEAD:
Exterior of the building, with UV protection.
Corrugated PE:
Exterior of the building, with UV protection, for buried/underground installations.
Benefits of Thermozmart Pre-Insulated Pipes:
- ENERGY SAVINGS by reducing heat losses.
- SAVINGS in maintenance, by preventing insulation from coming into contact with installation-specific situations.
- Reduction in the risk of condensation due to the rupture of unstable vapor barriers.
- Prevents external accumulation of fungi and bacteria.
- Mechanical protection and vapor barrier.
- Optimal density in polyurethane insulation.
- Customized solutions, we adapt to the requirements of your system and/or project.
- The outer jacket has a UV-resistant element (Polyethylene).
- Lower structural weight..
- High resistance to impact from external elements to your installation.
Frequently Asked : Questions (FAQs)

- Refrigerant gas, variable volume
- District cooling and heating
Pre-insulated pipes with corrugated mechanical protection, as the grooves of the corrugated mechanical protection of Polyethylene allow it to adapt to the irregularities of the terrain, without the need for a concrete bed. It is recommended to analyze the central pipe to be used depending on the application.
- Installation time, as three products are installed in one solution. -
- Reduction of labor.
- Reduction of condensation risks due to oversight when installing traditional systems or unintentional ruptures of the vapor barrier; condensation can generate both heat losses and structural damage to the building.
- It is recommended to use a mechanical protection made of Polyethylene.
The insulating power of a material is measured through the evaluation of its thermal conductivity, or "K" Factor. This value indicates the amount of heat that a sample of a certain material allows to pass during a certain time, with a temperature differential between one side and the other.

- ThermoZmart is the brand of rigid pre-insulated pipes manufactured by Teksol, however, for more than 15 years we have handled different solutions in pre-insulated pipes, including flexible ones. Therefore, please send us an email and we will gladly assist you: intl@teksolgroupsolutions.com
- No, ThermoZmart is the name given to the pre-insulated pipe and fittings system solution. Teksol does not manufacture central pipes, these are acquired from different manufacturers worldwide, with the highest quality standards.
- This depends on the type of central pipe, but as an example, we supply PVC/CPVC pipes in lengths of 5.8/6 meters.
The vapor barrier is an element that prevents the generation of interstitial dampness or condensation. It is a very effective and inexpensive method, and, in addition, the materials used in the construction may themselves perform this function.
Some examples:
- Elements integrated into thermal insulation, such as:
- Rubbers, surface layer
- Polyolefins, integrated throughout their mass
- XLPE, aluminum foil
- Granular glass, blanket
- Fiberglass, aluminum foil
- Pre-insulated pipes, PVC/PE
- It is an element that prevents the passage of humid air through the cells of a material, seeking to avoid condensation problems and excessive energy consumption.
- Examples:
- Hydraulic PVC,
- PEAD
- Aluminum foil
- Stainless steel
