Tapes, Sleeves & Ropes: Specialist Thermal Insulation

By |2024-10-02T12:46:31-07:00January 5th, 2021|

Thermal insulation materials are designed, first and foremost, to mitigate the transfer of heat from one object to another. This may refer to the heat from a boiler escaping through the chamber walls into the surrounding atmosphere, or the high ambient temperatures of processing lines from impacting the sensitive electronics of robotic construction devices. Specialist [...]

Using Spark Blankets in Rail Maintenance

By |2024-02-23T06:25:55-08:00December 4th, 2020|

Maintaining national rail infrastructures is an extraordinarily difficult task. The U.S. rail network comprises almost 140,000 miles of track, encompassing freight, intercity, and passenger railroads. Each of these sees intensive daily use. As much as five million tons of freight and around 85,000 passengers are transported by rail every single day. That volume of traffic [...]

Fabricated Parts for Air Infiltration Sealing

By |2024-02-21T06:17:41-08:00November 7th, 2020|

Air leakage control is a critical activity for a wide spectrum of businesses. Contractors may be tasked with sealing building envelopes to prevent heat loss, thus energy wastage. Specialty manufacturers may be called upon to deliver precision fabricated parts that target specific pain points and air leakage paths. The only way to gain a deep [...]

What is a Thermal Robot Protection Cover?

By |2024-02-21T05:33:30-08:00October 7th, 2020|

Automation has been a key performance driver in virtually all industries. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the construction line where complex yet repetitive assembly tasks have been delegated to robotic systems. You can largely trace the genesis of industrial robots to the 1960s and the early days of Silicon Valley; when high-performance semiconductors [...]

Fabricated Parts for Light Aircraft: Firewall Blankets, Insulation & More

By |2024-02-21T06:24:38-08:00August 17th, 2020|

Lightweighting is a critical part of the mandate for aeronautic engineers, who constantly tread a careful line between cost, efficiency, and performance. The price of getting it wrong can be catastrophic. That is why careful attention is paid to each and every component to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers and crew throughout the [...]

Thermal Seals and Barriers for Primary Aluminium Protection

By |2024-02-26T03:19:11-08:00July 30th, 2020|

Before discussing aluminum protection, it is important to offer an explanation of what is meant by ‘primary’  in the production, treatment, and application of the metal. The term ‘primary aluminum’ refers to the forging of the metal from raw alumina. Then, utilizing the Hall–Héroult electrolytic reduction process, the collaborative compound is smelted to create aluminum [...]

Mid-Mountain Fire Resistant Fabrics for Pallet Covers

By |2024-02-22T05:33:34-08:00June 30th, 2020|

Mid-Mountain’s latest offering of flame-resistant fabrics for pallet covers was created as a direct response to the very real risk of sudden fires which have been known to break out in the transportation of dangerous goods. Unfortunately, freight fires are more common than you may think, and, as such, we have worked tirelessly to manufacture [...]

Cargo Fire Containment: Covering the Basics

By |2024-02-21T06:03:47-08:00May 14th, 2020|

Global trade is built on our ability to safely supply commodities all over the world. This depends upon secure transport between different regions, to ensure that goods from one market can be readily supplied to consumers from another. Protecting products during transit is vital to this success. Cargo fire containment systems are widely used as [...]

Selecting the Best Thermal Insulation: 5 Things to Consider

By |2023-08-17T01:53:58-07:00March 9th, 2020|

Commercial- and industrial grade thermal insulation covers a wide range of materials and product formats. Most insulation types are primarily designed to inhibit costly or potentially damaging heat transfer within mechanical systems. Yet the plethora of design options available enables developers and process engineers to finely tailor their thermal insulation products to suit specific end-use [...]

Thermal Insulation: What is it & How is it Used?

By |2024-02-23T06:02:07-08:00February 11th, 2020|

Thermal insulation refers to the many ways we attempt to inhibit the transfer of heat from one object to another. These two objects may be the hot and cold faces of processing equipment in industrial facilities or the interior and exterior of external walls in domestic properties. The contexts in which thermal insulation may be [...]
