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...
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...
Traditional insulation material consists of fiberglass, mineral wool, foam glass, cellular glass, and calcium silicate (i.e., aerogel). Along with these materials, facility owners and builders often use jacketing materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, and PVC....
One of the most reliable ways for energy managers and plant operators to reduce energy consumption is by installing insulation blankets on steam lines. When carrying out routine maintenance, workers often remove this insulation. So, experts including the U.S....
President Biden is ordering federal agencies to kick into high gear on sustainability; and, to meet the president’s directive, federal managers should double down on energy conservation through insulation by including removable and reusable thermal insulation blankets...
