It is probably sweat/condensation covering. We use isolators,
hangers, plastic sleeves, 10 mil vinyl tape, and other items like
those to prevent noise caused by temperature change
(expansion/contraction) in water lines, and to prevent damage from
abrasion when in contact with harder materials, and to protect from
chemical damage when in contact with concrete, and to protect from
electrolysis when in contact with dis-similar metals.

Asked in Elements and Compounds
Composition of copper pipe?
Copper pipe is almost pure copper manufactured to the
requirements of ASTM B 42 - Standard Specification for Seamless
Copper Pipe, Standard Sizes. It may be manufactured from any of
five (5) copper alloys (C10200, C10300, C10800, C12000, C12200)
that all conform to the chemical composition requirements of alloys
containing a minimum of 99.9% Copper (Cu) and a maximum of 0.04%
Phosphorous (P). Available sizes are 1/8" to 12" diameters in
regular wall thickness and 1/8" to 10" in extra strong wall
thickness. The standard length for copper pipe is 12 feet. Copper
pipe is suitable for plumbing, boiler feed lines, refrigeration and
for similar purposes.
Joints in seamless copper pipe can be threaded, flanged or
brazed to fittings of the appropriate joint configuration.
