Winter will be here before you know it! The extreme cold can take its toll on your equipment - with each type facing unique challenges when the temperature drops.
Prioritize protecting your equipment during the cold winter months. Python’s line-up of cold-weather products, like insulated sleeves and warmers, is here to help your production run smoothly no matter the weather. Plus, it helps avoid costly setbacks and maintenance expenses. Check out the full list of products and matching links below, including our newest product, just launched in September!
Two Main Types of Python Winter Products: Warming Applications vs Protective Sleeving
When the cold weather hits, standard hose wraps and insulation sleeves aren’t enough. No matter the operation, Python has you covered with a solution for cold-weather productions, including heated products, as well as protective sleeving and wraps. These products are specifically designed for freezing conditions, with targeted warming or insulation to maintain quality production and prevent any damage.
Our warming applications protect tanks, drums, and spray systems, while the protective insulation sleeves safeguard hoses and pipes to ensure everything keeps flowing in freezing environments.
Below, you’ll find a breakdown of Python’s two main categories of winter solutions.
Python's Top 8 Winter Products
Python has the solutions to help safeguard your machines against freezing conditions. Here is the roundup of Python's Top Winter Products - saving the best for last - all trusted tools to help maintain insulation, protection, and temperature control when you need it most.
8. Sidewinder Spray Foam Sleeve
Python’s Sidewinder spray foam sleeve is designed to provide both insulation and protection for spray foam hoses. It’s a go-to solution for people working in environments with a high chance of moisture and abrasion, like contractors, spray foamers, and rig builders. It also ensures a steady temperature and optimal performance during spray foam application, even in the coldest environments.

2. Boom Pipe Wrap
Boom Pipe Wrap offers advanced insulation for concrete pumping equipment and ready-mix properties, ensuring consistent performance during cold-weather pours on construction sites. Python's insulated boom pipe wrap offers a more effective solution for insulating concrete boom pipes than DIY methods, like bubble wrap. This specialized wrap is constructed with two protective layers - a tough urethane-coated exterior to protect against abrasion and moisture, and the radiant-lined interior for insulation. Even in freezing conditions, your equipment can function at its best.
