Product catalog summary
Overview of Removable Insulation Blankets
Removable insulation blankets are essential for insulating engine parts, exhaust piping, and industrial machinery. They are particularly useful in applications involving diesel engines, such as power generation and marine vehicles, to manage heat effectively.

Benefits
  • Protect personnel from heat exposure.
  • Reduce ambient heat levels.
  • Shield heat-sensitive components.
  • Maintain optimal exhaust temperatures.
  • Facilitate maintenance and inspection.

Construction
These blankets are typically constructed in three layers:
  • Outer Layer: Made of silicone-impregnated fiberglass or aluminized fiberglass, with temperature limits of 500°F to 1000°F, serving as a protective cover.
  • Middle Layer: Composed of fiberglass insulation media, usually 1 inch thick, but adjustable based on application needs.
  • Inner Layer: Stainless steel mesh, with temperature limits up to 1800°F, containing the insulation media.
Alternative materials and construction methods are available for specific applications.

Installation
Installation involves wrapping the blanket around the part to be insulated and securing it with lacing wire. Other fastening methods include snaps, straps, springs, and Velcro.

Heat Performance
The outer cover temperature depends on the insulation material's heat rating and thickness. Charts indicate how touch temperatures vary with different materials and thicknesses, highlighting safe touch limits and performance comparisons.
