"Why insulate? Why Nansulate?
Global competition forces manufacturing companies to reduce production costs, where energy and metal prices are increasing rapidly.
Therefore a good way to decrease production cost is to make maximum use of the energy available and to install systems with much longer usable lifetime.
We need to use more technology in both insulation and corrosion protection.
It is possible to insulate with conventional materials only to a degree because;
- you cannot insulate wet areas,
- conventional insulation does not prevent corrosion, sometimes increases it
- Useful lifetime of conventional insulation is much less,
- application of Nansulate is simple and cheap, but takes a longer time.
- conventional systems do not offer long term protection against moisture.
We used Nansulate in our textile dyeing and finishing plant; especially for thermal insulation of dyeing machines which operate at 130 C. Our aims were
i) with a minimum surface temperature reduction of 70 C,
a) decrease energy cost
b) increase process stability(which would mean increased product quality and decreased re-work)),and process reproducibility
ii)increase machine metal parts lifetime by increased protection against corrosion
iii) increase usable lifetime of cold water and steam valves
iv) decrease dyeing process times.
In this respect, we are aiming to achieve a minimum of 20% gain in energy consumption, and overall 10% reduction in unit material production cost.
You cannot buy energy cheaper, but with a good insulation,you can achieve maximum gains.
If you are looking for a solution to insulation as well as corrosion protection, offering long-term usage, Nansulate is the ideal solution"
