Prevents or Reduces Damage to Equipment from Exposure to Fire or Corrosive Atmospheres When used in combination with other materials, fiber glass and rock and slag wool insulation help provide fire protection in fire stop systems; grease- and air-duct fireproofing; and electrical and communications conduit and cable protection.

Facilitates Process Temperature Controlby reducing heat loss or gain, insulation can help maintain the process temperature to a pre-determined value. Insulation thickness must be sufficient to limit the heat loss in a dynamic system or limit the temperature drop, with time, in a static system.

Controls Surface Temperatures for Personnel Protection and Comfort Insulation reduces the surface temperature of piping or equipment to a safer level, resulting in increased worker safety and the avoidance of worker downtime due to injury.

Conserves Energy by Reducing Heat Loss or Gain Properly designed and installed insulation systems immediately reduce the need for energy, a costly ingredient of every product made.

Controls Noise Special or standard insulation materials can be used to encase or enclose a noise generating source, forming a sound barrier between the source and the surrounding area. Insulation installed in walls and ceilings can provide a barrier to the entry of sound from the outside or other rooms.

INSULATION MATERIALS

Calcium Silicate has a good resistance to mechanical abuse and has high compressive strength. Calcium Silicate is used from +70°F to +1200°F.Because of its low thermal conductivity, durability, compressive strength and corrosion inhibiting properties, it is the preferred product for application on high temperature piping and equipment. Thermo-12 Gold is especially recommended for use in the petrochemical, power generation and process industries where piping and equipment operating up to 1200°F (649°C). The corrosion inhibiting properties are not diminished by heating and cooling so the corrosion protection will continue for the life of the product. Thermo-12 Gold will not burn and may be used for fire protection in some applications.

Aerogel® Straight Line Insulation is introducing the New insulation material Aerogel which is a flexible insulation for hot and cold work. This product is the most effective hot and cold insulation material in terms of thickness and high temperature efficient.

Sproule WR-1200 is produced with a blue visual color coding dispersed throughout the product to assure it can be identified as asbestos-free. Integral to Sproule WR-1200 is XOX, a distinctive formula and process that inhibits corrosion to outside surfaces of pipe and equipment, especially stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel.

Cellular Glass “Foamglass” (Plain or with ASJ-SSL Factory applied Vapor retarder sheeting): has a good/ medium resistance to mechanical abuse and can be used where organic foams are inadequate. Cellular Glass does not absorb water or oil, but requires thicker layers as compared to Polyurethane foam. This material should be used where spills or fires could occur; Cellular Glass is also good for services that cycle from Hot to Cold. Cellular Glass (Foam glass) is used from -450°F to +800°F. Fabricated with asphalt, Asphalt is used for Cold application is good for up to 400 degrees if used outdoors, if not I will have them fabricate it with Hydrocal B-11 (both services).

Polyurethane and Trymer Foams (Plain or with ASJ-SSL -Factory applied Vapor retarder sheeting): Should not be used for areas where mechanical abuse can be expected. These Foams can absorb water, so proper sealing is imperative. Polyurethane and Trymer Foams are used from -300°F to +280°F. These materials are closed cell, thermoset, plastic foam formed by combining isocyanate, polyol, surfactants, catalysts and blowing agents.

Mineral Wool is crushable and should not be used where mechanical abuse is expected. Mineral Wool is used from +120°F to +1200°F. Has good workability, noncombustible.IIG MinWool-1200 Pipe Insulation provides excellent thermal insulation performance for mechanical/power and process piping systems operating from sub-ambient to 1200°F (649°C). This molded pipe insulation is easily fabricated, cutting cleanly and easily with a knife. Very low in-service shrinkage helps prevent gaps from forming at joints, preventing costly thermal leaks. The insulation is designed to be field-jacketed. It may be installed directly on hot surfaces; system shutdown and staged heat-up are not required. IIG MinWool-1200 Industrial Board Insulation is made of inorganic fibers derived from basalt, a volcanic rock, with a thermosetting resin binder. Advanced manufacturing technology ensures consistent product quality, with high fiber density and low shot content, for excellent performance in high temperature thermal control and fire resistance applications.

Fiberglass with ASJ-SSLFactory applied Vapor retarder sheeting): Micro-Lok®HP Fiber Glass Pipe Insulation is a high performance insulation made from rotary glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting resin and produced in 36" (0.92 m) lengths. Micro-Lok HP is used to insulate standard iron pipe and copper tubing. The 3-foot (0.92 m) sections are available plain or with a factory applied vapor-barrier jacket. The all-service (ASJ) vapor retarder jacket includes a longitudinal, self-sealing closure lap. The jacket system is adhered to each fiber glass section using a specially formulated adhesive to ensure jacket securement. A latex paint may be applied to the Micro-Lok HP jacket after installation. Fiberglass is used from -20°F to + 1000°F. The factory-installed tape system permits installation at ambient temperatures down to 20°F (-7°C), and will not soften or separate when exposed to high ambient temperatures and humidity.
