03 — Applications
Every installation has a condition that decides the grade.
Start from the plant or the vehicle, not the product list. Each sector below sets out the conditions that actually break materials, and the combinations we usually recommend.
Sector
Shipbuilding and marine
Insulation and sealing for engine rooms, exhaust lines and bulkhead penetrations.
Engine rooms combine vibration, salt atmosphere and hot surfaces within reach of crew. Exhaust lines run hot enough to need a barrier that still allows inspection access.
What fails here
- 01Salt atmosphere attacking metal reinforcement and fasteners
- 02Vibration loosening wrapped insulation over time
- 03Classification requirements on the complete insulation system
Before quoting
Marine work is quoted against the classification drawings supplied by the yard.
