WHY DO BOAT OWNERS PICK REMOVABLE THERMAL INSULATION FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS?
We’ve written in the past about removable thermal insulation for marine applications, but the topic deserves another look because the benefits from these thermal/acoustic solutions are so easily achieved. When the owners of the world-famous Maid of the Mist tour boats...
What’s sustainability got to do with insulation for the plastics industry?
Safety and energy-saving are probably words that come to mind when thinking about insulation and the plastics industry, but add sustainability to that list, too. Typically, the focus of an insulation project for a plastics-making plant is worker safety. For example,...
Born at sea: Reusable thermal insulation blankets for engine exhausts
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....
Thermal Blanket Insulation for the Plastics Industry
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 and industrial insulation
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...
Just Insulate It: Blanketing industrial components with thermal insulation
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...
