An analogy can be made between insulation and the tires on your automobile. Good tires (insulation) will improve the efficiency of your vehicle (facility) through better gas mileage (improved heat conservation). Good tires will also improve the performance of your vehicle (facility) through better handling (maintaining a constant temperature that allows the system to operate at an optimal level). And like tires, insulation must be adequately maintained to ensure all the previously mentioned points remain true and extend the life of the tires (insulation). There is no one tire (insulation) that fits the needs of all vehicles (facilities).
However, ESLIN⢠by Visionary Industrial Insulation is one choice of insulation that is in wide use at refineries, power plants, petrochemical facilities, hospitals, colleges, pulp and paper facilities, marine applications and more.
One power generating station was built with calsil insulation, which can be fairly brittle. Therefore, it was looking for insulation that would withstand hammering better.
"We found a solution with ESLIN, which doesn't deform or break," said the plant's maintenance manager. "ESLIN is quick and easy to install, which saves on labor. It's reusable and made of thinner material. ESLIN is also economically better than the existing insulation we had out there. Other plants may use mineral wool, but that doesn't take stress very well, such as when people step on the lines. ESLIN is much more durable. As we reinsulate in the plant, the more we will replace that existing insulation with ESLIN.
"There are times when we need to take off a lot of insulation and need replacements quickly.
Visionary Industrial Insulation has done a great job keeping up with us and having product in stock. I've recommended ESLIN to our fleet of plants. I prefer using ESLIN."
ESLIN is made from needle-matted E-glass, making the insulation strong and durable. The matted E-glass contains layers of Visionary's earthen clay-based binder material that doesn't burn out at elevated temperatures. The layered E-glass mat, with Visionary's binder material, acts like a thermal pane window, giving ESLIN its great thermal performance.
Some of the features and benefits of ESLIN include:
⢠Significant energy savings compared to other commonly used industrial insulations.
⢠Withstands temperatures up to 1,400 F with no degradation, no embrittlement and no loss of thermal performance.
⢠Less labor. Pipe cover in two-piece sections all the way to 40-inch pipe size.
⢠Board material. Large-sized flat or round "R-board" pre-formed to fit the curvature of any vessel, exchanger or tank.
⢠Great sound absorption.
⢠Holds up to vibration with no degradation and no loss of thermal performance.
⢠Reusable. May be removed from piping and reinstalled without loss of thermal performance.
⢠Available with high water resistance.
⢠Easy to work with, produces very little dust and safe to use.
⢠Proud to be made in America.
As a testament to the quality, safety and performance of ESLIN, this product passed extensive Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) testing before being approved for use aboard America's newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford.
