Industrial Insulation Education & Resources

A lifecycle guide to service life by material, application, and industry – and how to spot when it's time to replace.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the most expensive and dangerous integrity problems in industrial facilities precisely because it is hidden: the damage progresses out of sight, beneath an intact-looking jacket, until a leak, a failed inspection, or an unplanned shutdown reveals it.

Choosing the right high-temp insulation comes down to three factors: the continuous operating temperature of your equipment, the physical constraints of the installation, and the regulatory standards that apply to your facility.

Mineral wool and fiberglass are both proven industrial insulation materials — but they are not interchangeable. Compare R-values, fire resistance, moisture performance and cost to find the right fit for your project.

This guide explores how transitioning to removable insulation blankets—also known as insulation jackets—can transform your facility's operational agility and thermal management strategy.
