Default expanding foam as CH pipe insulation?

Hi

I want to insulate CH 22mm pipes. The standard ''round'' pipe insulation
will not
fit because of all four pipes being to close together.
I am thinking of covering the lot in expandable foam, maybe loosely wrapping
something
around them and spraying inside to contain the foam.
I do not want to use any fibreglass/rockwool wraps as I am allergic to that
stuff.

Are the foam insulating properties as good as the pipe insulation tubes?
Are there any other alternatives?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Peter


Sounds messy and expensive. Why not use the old fashioned felt lagging?
Just wind it round all 4 instead of one.
