I work in a warehouse setting, and we have exposed metal AC ductwork. The problem is the ductwork gets condensation dripping off of it. Can anyone tell me whats the best insulation to fix this problem?

If it has internal liner, then the temperature differential between the warehouse space air temperature and the duct supplied air temperature is too great and adding external insulation may or may not help. It may take adding insulation to the building in order to keep heat from building up, or increasing the size of the conditioning unit if it is undersized (hvac1000 can verify this, I only know insulation).
