INDUSTRY — INDUSTRIAL PROCESS

Industrial Process Insulation

Process pipework, vessels and equipment require insulation that holds its performance across wide temperature ranges, resists mechanical damage and simplifies maintenance access. We supply and pre-cut to your plant drawings.

The challenge

Wide temperature range, complex geometry, zero tolerance for thermal bridging

Industrial process plant operates across a wide temperature range — from cryogenic cold to high-temperature steam and process heat. No single insulation material spans the full range. The right specification matches the product to the operating temperature, the pipe OD and the required heat loss calculation.

Complex process plant geometry — flanges, valves, expansion loops, vessel nozzles — means a significant proportion of the insulation work involves non-standard profiles. CNC cutting reduces waste, speeds installation and eliminates the inconsistent results that come from site-trimming standard sections.

Our approach

The full temperature range from one supplier

For cold services and moderate-temperature process lines (up to +120°C), rigid PU is the specification default — best thermal value per millimetre and closed-cell structure prevents moisture ingress. PIR/PIC extends the temperature range to +150°C with improved fire performance where required.

For high-temperature applications above +150°C, Rockwool mineral wool is the correct material — rated to 750°C+ depending on product grade, non-combustible and dimensionally stable at elevated temperature. We supply the full Rockwool range as the authorised sub-Saharan distributor and can advise on the appropriate product for your operating conditions.
