Insulation for Vessels

---

Polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) rigid insulation when used on tanks and vessels offers one of the thinnest solutions available as a result of its superior thermal performance.

Man-made-mineral-fibre (MMMF) is susceptible to water penetration this can have a severe affect on its thermal performance. PIR/PUR insulation is resistant, as a result of its closed cell structure, to moisture penetration. Consequently the thermal performance of PIR/PUR is retained even under the most severe operating conditions.

Benefits of PIR/PUR insulation for tanks and vessels:

---

• Provides excellent thermal performance;
• High strength to weight ratio;
• Constant thermal performance;
• Enhanced compressive and tensile strengths at cryogenic temperatures make it resistant to cracking;
• Eliminates the risk of water penetration;
• Resistant to moisture ingress;
• Non-fibrous and does not emit harmful emissions;
• Resistant to fungus, mould and does not sustain vermin;
• Used extensively in the LNG and Petrochemical industries.
