Several blog posts and articles within the last few months have noted how practicing sustainability can help companies with attracting talent. In September of last year, online education provider GetSmarter published a blog post highlighting research stating “56% of...
Late last year, Environment + Energy Leader reported that Honeywell and Danfoss were developing new scroll compressors to reduce greenhouse gases using Honeywell’s Solstice® ze and Solstice refrigerant® N15 for chiller and heat pumps in commercial buildings. According...
In 2019, Shannon Global Energy Solutions produced enough thermal reusable jacket insulation to prevent 118,000 tons of CO2 from affecting the planet. Since 2004, Shannon has prevented 1 million tons of C02 from escaping into the atmosphere. Some very conservative...
Insulation blankets for engine exhausts are the hallmark application for removable, reusable thermal blanket insulation. Thermal applications are still propelling the adoption and development of blanket insulation technology since first used aboard ships 90 years ago....
Call insulation a diamond in the rough, low-hanging fruit, or a simple solution to a burgeoning energy crisis. Whatever you call it, insulation spells sustainability Finding a reason for a plastics industry professional to insulate isn’t hard to do. Driving the...
K-Factor measures the performance of industrial insulation, specifically its ability to conduct heat. In other words, K-Factor measures thermal conductivity. So, insulation buyers want an insulation material with a low K-Factor. Insulation makers calculate K-Factor as...
There are many practices for achieving energy conservation, but among the simplest is blanketing industrial components with thermal insulation. While Shannon preaches “Just Insulate It,” blanketing a component for energy savings takes high-quality insulation designed...
NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. – March 30, 2022 – Shannon Global Energy Solutions—which engineers and manufactures reusable acoustic and thermal insulation for a sustainable planet—will showcase its thermal and reusable insulation blankets for the plastics industry at Plastec...
Synthetically producing amorphous silica gel and then infusing it into a fabric creates what many buyers know as aerogel insulation according to one distributor’s website. Amorphous silica appears on state hazardous substance lists for California and New Jersey....
If you’re trying to conserve energy through insulation, then choosing insulation material with a high R-Value is a critical component for your strategy. But what is R-Value? According to Meriam-Webster’s online dictionary, R-Value is “a measure of resistance to the...
