@Nathan ZhivalyukIt looks like it could be asbestos insulation - or it could be fibreglass insulation with mastic (which may or may not contain asbestos itself) - I cannot tell from the photo.If you can find a knowledgable (& perhaps a little gray) contractor (HVAC, plumbing, etc) in your area, they should be able to tell w/o causing any disturbance.Pipe insulation is considered friable (Category I), but is also relatively easy to remove and abatement is not terribly expensive.  

Most if it is not in a condition that it would cause any health issues.If the Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) was undisturbed, it should have been fine.
