Using PU Coated Fabrics for Fire Control Systems

By |2024-07-15T01:39:35-07:00July 11th, 2024|

Industrial fire control systems are a cornerstone of infrastructural safety. They comprise the network of systems used to detect and suppress fires, including alarms, automatic sprinklers, fire doors, and more. Naturally, industrial fires pose a range of serious hazards. Severe injury, loss of life, damage or destruction of assets. These are just a few of [...]

Ultra-Low Porosity Coated Fabrics for Emission Control

By |2024-07-02T06:49:43-07:00July 2nd, 2024|

Ultra-low porosity in insulation fabrics is essential for emission control because it creates an exceptionally tight barrier, preventing the passage of gasses and particles. This minimizes pollutant release, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations. The dense structure also enhances the fabric's effectiveness as a filter, trapping harmful emissions. Furthermore, ultra-low porosity coated fabrics provide superior [...]

High-Temperature Patching and Sealing with Moldable Refractory Cement

By |2024-05-22T15:26:39-07:00May 16th, 2024|

Utilized within kilns, industrial chimneys and furnaces to offer protection against heat, moldable refractory cement is an insulating material that is extremely flexible and has a high moldability. This means it can be turned into different shapes individually tailored to their environments. As it can resist extensive amounts of heat, including temperatures over 3632°F /2000°C, [...]

Can Heat-Shielding Materials Enhance Aircraft Fuel Efficiency?

By |2024-05-22T15:28:14-07:00May 2nd, 2024|

Air travel efficiency hinges on various interconnected factors. Altitude, flight duration, occupancy rates, and so on, all impinge on key metrics. But few areas affect aircraft efficiency as directly as fuel. A more accurate assessment might be that fuel efficiency is a central concept to the overall success of aviation. Fuels not only equate to [...]

What are the 5 Most Common Thermal Insulation Materials in Industry?

By |2024-04-24T01:49:33-07:00April 24th, 2024|

Creating a product that works effectively depends on the environment in which it will be used. Different industries, such as aluminum and oil and gas, and appliances rely on the temperature of equipment being at an optimum level to increase efficiencies and lower costs. Thermal insulation materials act as a block that reduces the transfer [...]

How Does Thermal Insulation Thickness Affect Heat Loss?

By |2024-03-27T04:36:19-07:00March 20th, 2024|

Controlling the thermal insulation of a specific space, or even the properties of a product, can optimize their use of energy. This is because the processes that utilize this energy will become more sustainable and cost-effective. Ultimately, the types of insulation materials you choose will affect the levels of thermal insulation. Fiberglass fabrics are among [...]

High-Temperature Seals for Industrial Process Optimization

By |2024-05-22T15:29:21-07:00February 27th, 2024|

A manufacturer is only as good as its industrial processes. If you are in the manufacturing industry, it is crucial to identify areas that are in need of improvement. Ineffective procedures can slow down the production process. This can lead to wasted time and extra costs.  Undertaking industrial process optimization could lower your operational expenses [...]
