Who is Union Foam?

Union Foam S.p.A. was founded in the early 1960s with a clear purpose: to produce high-quality recycled products from waste rubber. Formerly known as "I.R.G - Industria Rigenerati Gomna S.p.A.," it has since become a leader in the industry, offering innovative solutions to major global markets. In 1978, Union Foam achieved a significant milestone by becoming Italy's first producer of semifinished closed-cell foam rubber for thermal and acoustic insulation.

Building it better with antimicrobial foam insulation

Choosing the right pipe insulation can significantly impact energy efficiency, durability, waste, and overall building performance. That’s why Union Foam is partnered with Ultra-Fresh to integrate antimicrobial technology into its range of elastomeric pipes and ducts insulation. The treated insulation delivered superior product protection against bacteria and mold growth resulting from condensation and humidity fluctuations. This leads to reduced maintenance and waste and ensures prolonged efficiency, providing facility managers and building occupants with added peace of mind.

Benefits of Union Foam insulation enhanced with Ultra-Fresh technology:

• Protected from the growth of degrading microbes for the product’s lifetime

• More durable and longer-lasting

• Resistant to staining and odors caused by bacteria

• Contributes to more sustainable building environments

• Contains a globally registered technology that has a long history of safe use
