 Thermal insulation for Industry
Thermal insulation is required for safety, to reduce heat loss and to increase sustainability
of processes. SIIMCO offers the right solutions for all these requirements. There are
numerous reasons for thermal insulation of equipment and processes:

the easiest and most cost effective way
to improve thermal efficiency. The use of

externally.
Reduce heat loss
Decreasing heat loss or gains allows to
reduce the amount of energy needed to
maintain process equilibrium and save
cost. Optimizing the initial insulation will
reduce installation costs and provide
maximum energy savings throughout
the lifetime of the installation.

Corrosion and humidity protection
for industry
Highly alloyed austenitic steels (alloys of chrome, nickel and molybdenum) are
predisposed to tensile stress corrosion (stress corrosion cracking), caused
mainly by water soluble ions, such as chlorides. As temperature increases, so
does the risk of stress corrosion cracking. SIIMCO industrial products are
therefore low in chlorides. Standards and
Moistur & water repellence guidelines
Low chloride insulation products are the basis for preventing corrosion under
insulation (CUI), especially where higher temperature surfaces are There are different standards
involved. In addition, all SIIMCO industrial insulation products for external to define the limits for
use are hydrophobic and non-hygroscopic, thus limiting potential water water-leachable ions in
absorption. The open cell structure allows products to dry out quickly, should insulation products:

 Acoustic insulation for Industry

Many industrial installations work at high pressure, with fast moving media and often
turbulence, all of which can cause high noise levels.

Acoustic insulation in this field therefore TECH SA solutions are characterized by

has two main objectives - to protect the high longitudinal air-flow resistance and
hearing of personnel working close by uniform porosity, resulting in high sound
and, particularly in urban areas, to attenuation levels. Their outstanding
reduce ambient sound in the local performance is a direct result of their
environment. That improves the elastic properties and low modulus of
productivity & personal safety. elasticity, which gives TECH SA solutions
a low dynamic toughness, and makes
them superior to other insulants, such
as plastic foams.

Sound absorption
TECH SA products offer excellent acoustic absorption of sound
energy at certain frequencies, even when exposed to higher
temperatures, as found for instance in exhaust gas and
desulphurization equipment.

Sound reduction
In noisy working areas, sound reducing techniques can be used to
supplement sound absorption. Sound reducing constructions using
the mass-spring-mass principle, or sound capsules, can be
particularly useful in reducing noise emissions from industrial
processes into the ambient environment.

Fire protection for Industry
The risk of fire in industrial environments is much higher than in building and other
applications, particularly when working with welding and grinding equipment in high
temperature environments containing flammable and /or explosive media.
Fire protection
To protect personnel and equipment it is therefore important that
all steps be taken to protect possible fire sources and prevent fires
starting.
Passive fire protection using non-combustible materials is the best
way to eliminate these risks from the beginning or prevent fire from
spreading. That is why all SIIMCO industrial insulation products offer
outstanding fire safety properties.
Best-in-class
SIIMCO industrial insulation solutions offer 'best in class' fire safety properties. They are non-combustible and are
classified in Euroclass group A - the top classification for fire performance

Class Characteristics
A1, A2 Non-Flammable, Flashover not possible
B Low-Flammability, Flashover not possible
C Normally Flammable, Flashover after more than 10 minutes
D Easily Flammable, Flashover in the space of 2-10 minutes
E Easily Flammable, Flashover in less than 2 minutes
F Easily Flammable

SIIMCO insulation materials will not ignite, so there is no risk of fire caused by flying sparks from welding and grinding
work carried out close to the insulation. In addition, SIIMCO insulating materials generate practically no smoke and no
toxic gases, which is critically important for your employees, and for fire brigade personnel, should the worst come to
the worst and a fire occur.
With TECH SA industrial insulation solutions, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you will never be exposed to
harmful gases from the insulation materials - and that you have done everything you possibly can to protect your
plant and your business.

Fire resistance
You can't always prevent a fire starting, but with SIIMCO insulation you can help to prevent it spreading. TECH SA
solutions give you maximum safety in the event of fire. Whilst it is sometimes difficult to prevent a fire from starting, it
is very important once it does start to prevent it spreading to surrounding areas, and particularly to prevent it
encroaching on escape and evacuation routes.
Additionally SIIMCO TECH SA fire-safe solutions are helping in the event of fire to keep the economic impact as low as
possible by protecting surrounding industrial equipment. For fire-resistant solutions of industrial buildings please refer
to our dedicated SIIMCO COMFORT SA building product range.

The insulation of industrial process plants and equipment places high demands on the system designer,
installer and the insulation supplier.

SIIMCO is working closely with industrial process designers, operators and contractors to develop a range of
industry solutions that meet any insulation requirement:
 Providing a choice of products that meet demands for flexibility and ease of installation.
 Are able to cope with the daily stresses of expansion and contraction, vibration and fluctuating temperature.
 On tanks, vessels, pipes and other process equipment.
 In power generation, oil & gas, chemical and other processing industry.
