ABSTRACT:
A discrete tube is provided which can be readily torn into a length of coiled insulation wrapping. The tube comprises at least two plies of a firm, foamed thermoplastic polymer web which had been set into a coiled configuration. The plies are welded together on their radially facing adjoining surfaces to form the tube, but the plies are offset and the axially facing edges of each ply are not welded together, such that the nonwelded edges form a junction line along a central portion of the radially facing edge of the adjacent ply.
The tube is preferably formed by heat sealing the two plies together, while simultaneously heat setting each ply into the coiled configuration. The laminated coil resiliently maintains the desired configuration.
