Insulation materials have the potential to transform the energy efficiency of equipment and processes for the better. There are a variety of different types of insulation materials available. These include advanced ceramics, fiberglass, silicone coated fiberglass, and vermiculite. Each insulation material works to lower the heat transfers in equipment during industrial processing. Join us as [...]

Materials imbued with heat protection provide a diverse array of advantages when applied to equipment. They offer protection, energy-efficiency, and can help apparatus to work safely even under intense heat. High silica fabric and textiles can deliver heat protection and, thus, be used in items like fire and furnace curtains and welding blankets. The heat-resistant [...]

Performance versus weight is a fundamental consideration in the aviation industry. Engineers consistently seek lightweight solutions for hardcore problems, and fabrics have been a part of that interplay since the Wright brothers used cotton-wrapped wings in 1903. We've come a long way from external aircraft fabric covering. However, material innovations continue to ensure a central [...]

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 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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
