Default AC line insulation replacement

hey guys
as i am installing new headers, i see that the insulation on the AC line that runs right past the passenger side header has pretty much fallen apart. i want to replace it. i checked the autozone and advance for similar, but they had nothing.
can i use any random pipe insulation, or do i need something special to withstand the extra high temps at the header so it wont melt/burn/whatever (wont be touching i think, but will be within 1-2 inches, but if my rig job fails, it might touch with me not knowing it)
thanks in advance

needs to be resistant to heat or wrap it in a heat blanket otherwise regular foam will melt
