An innovative insulation solution for enhanced performance in industrial applications

6/6/2025

In industrial settings, corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a pervasive and costly problem. Traditional insulation systems, often made from mineral-based materials, can trap moisture against steel surfaces. This trapped moisture accelerates corrosion, leading to frequent maintenance, costly repairs, and hazardous conditions. Storage tanks, process vessels, and piping are particularly vulnerable to these issues, which can significantly impact operational efficiency and safety.

Heat-Flex® Advanced Energy Barrier (AEB) offers a groundbreaking solution to the problem of corrosion under insulation. Directly applied to primed steel assets, Heat-Flex AEB removes the need for traditional insulation systems. This innovative coating maintains consistent thermal efficiency, even in extreme environments up to 350°F, with excursions to 400°F. This approach not only enhances safety but also simplifies installation and reduces labor costs.

The coating's ability to prevent CUI is transformative, extending the lifespan of steel assets and minimizing environmental impacts. Additionally, the consistent thermal efficiency of Heat-Flex AEB ensures reliable performance across various applications, making it a versatile and effective solution for modern industrial insulation needs. The straightforward open, mix, and apply method of this single-component coating allows for continuous operations and significant environmental advantages by eliminating traditional insulation materials.
