Insulation

Outside of its typical advantages like retaining heat and protecting instruments from external elements, insulation also helps protect personnel from potentially dangerous heat emitted from internal components—leaving the ambient environment stable and safe. Soft insulation, a subcategory to industrial insulation, also has unique advantages like natural flexibility. This allows soft insulation to fit every bend, […]

Maintaining heat within an industrial instrument or retaining heat of fluids during transit can be an expensive process due to an instrument’s unique heating needs. While heat loss can be a critical factor to consider within some industries, increased costs can be incurred by businesses in any industry, both short and long term. Implementing heat

SUM Ltd has developed custom removable insulation blankets for a wide range of conditions — from the frigid, arctic conditions to protecting valuable and expensive equipment against fire-related accidents. Despite this, even the most well-designed custom removable insulation blankets experience wear and tear and may eventually be rendered ineffective. Catching early signs of wear and

Some places in Canada have seen the first snowfall as early as the beginning of September, one can never take steps to prepare to winterize too early. Now is the perfect time to inspect your current insulation blankets and determine if they need replacing. Early inspections prevent a range of issues such as product delivery

While insulation can be used to attenuate sound, mitigate hazards in the workplace, or act as the last line of defence for critical components during an emergency fire, its primary and most common application is to reduce heat exchange between a surface and the environment. But how does one compare the performance of one type

Custom removable insulation blankets are well-known in the industry for their cost effectiveness, energy efficiency and ability to handle some of the hottest or coldest temperatures. However, removable insulation blankets serve other purposes outside of controlling temperature:  Reduce risk of hazards in the workplace  Act as the last line of defense against fire-related incidents  Reduce energy and cost of day-to-day operations  Attenuate sound caused by noisy instruments  At its core, soft insulation has two main advantages over its hard counterpart: Flexibility and tool-less application. Staff

Mitigating Heat Loss in Boiler Rooms EDIT (April 29th, 2021): We’ve made changes to the featured image and revised the copy to better reflect issues our clients faced previously.  Hot boiler rooms caused by inefficient infrastructure can create a variety of problems in commercial or industrial buildings, radiating heat in a single room before reaching

What is the Difference Between Hard and Soft Insulation? Insulating your equipment has many tangible benefits for your company. For example, exposed components in a boiler system such as control valves and steam traps can pose a burn hazard for employees as it radiates heat into the surrounding area. Not only does installing insulation on
