Vessel insulation 

For vessels with maximum operating temperatures above 1000 ^oC, we recommend the use of a double-layer insulation solution. For large diameter storage tank walls, and above 100 ^oC, rigid slabs with a nominal density of minimum 80kg/m³, such as PAROC® Pro Slab 640 WR or PAROC® Pro Slab 660 WR are recommended. When, due to geometrical reasons (if too small radii are involved), the application of slabs is not possible, PAROC wired mats with similar appropriate density need to be used instead. At the joints, the mesh of the wire mats should be sewn or stitched together with a recommended spacing of less than 100 mm and the insulation should be secured with steel bands.

Curves and outlets often call for flexible solutions

With their curves and outlets vessels are often best fitted with a flexible insulation material such as our Pro (Wired) Mats. PAROC® Pro Mats are ideal for appliances with irregular surfaces and help ensure that all gaps are sufficiently filled without creating air gaps. Please consult the respective product data sheet for more information.

When using flexible wired mats, it is usually necessary to install structures such as supporting rings to carry the weight of the cladding and prevent the insulation from sagging. This helps to increase the durability of the insulation.

Based on our certifications to ISO 14025, ISO 21930 and EN 15804, we have received the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) numbers NEPD-4100-3121-EN and NEPD-4101-3121-EN.
