In high-temperature applications, it is crucial to have adequate thermal insulation and fire-resistant materials. Fiberglass is one such material that can offer both of those properties and many others. Comprising glass fibers, silica sand, and plastic, fiberglass is a versatile material that can be knitted or woven into a wide range of forms that resist [...]

There are many industrial processes that exude or transfer heat throughout components. Excess heat that is not controlled can damage machinery, negatively impact processes, and cause harm to humans. Therefore, offering the right protection is key. Thermal insulation tape is used in various applications to provide thermal protection and control heat transfer. This post will [...]

Textile manufacturing has a storied history. It was at the heart of the first industrial revolution, with mechanized cotton spinning representing one of the earliest automation technologies. Repetitive tasks that once required human labor–such as reeling and bundling–could now be subsidized with machinery, increasing worker outputs by a factor of almost 500. Innovation didn’t stop [...]
