Changing The Landscape Of Thermal Insulation Coatings

Thermal insulation is a material that restricts the flow of heat. Heat spontaneously flows from a high temperature region to a low temperature region, and the greatest heat flow occurs through the path of least resistance. For this reason, thermal insulation is used as a barrier between two bodies at different temperatures either to reduce heat loss from the hotter body or to reduce heat entry into the cooler body.

New Development in Thermal Insulation Coatings

In chemical process industries, oil and gas, and petrochemical plants, it is common practice to use mechanical insulation such as mineral wool or calcium silicate and metal jacketing on heated tanks, piping, and related equipment as a means of either personal protection or improved energy retention. These traditional insulation systems can become saturated with moisture, leading to significant reduction in ability to thermally insulate as well as creating an environment that may cause an increase in corrosion under insulation. To combat these issues, asset owners have also been using spray-on insulation coatings. However, these are often limited in film thickness and temperature resistance and require a primer. Recent coating technology has been developed to address these challenges currently faced in the field. This paper will discuss some of the coating’s improved properties including hydrophobicity, higher film thickness, improved temperature resistance, and direct-to-metal corrosion protection. These properties provide an asset owner the means to spray apply thermal insulation at higher operating temperatures in less coats and with better long-term protection against corrosion of the asset.

Novel Fumed Silica Innovation Drives New High-Performance for Thermal Insulation Coatings

Product Number: 51323-18923-SG

Super insulation granules (SIG) based on a fumed silica core can be formulated into coatings to achieve high thermal insulative efficiency performance. The basis of the super insulation functionality in coatings is derived from the specially engineered microporous structure, optimized density combined with high hydrophobicity which allows high filler loading levels, far above conventional fumed silica. The high thermal insulative efficiency comes from an innovative design leading to significant passivation of the three major pathways of heat transfer. Ultra-high loading of this mineral based filler with a minimized viscosity build-up allows the coating to achieve an outstanding thermal insulation value with spray quality application utility.
