Fabric Insulation Blankets
These blankets are similar to foil systems, except the insulation material is encapsulated between a fabric-type skin. A wide variety of fabrics are available from low-temperature silicone/fiberglass to high-temperature quartz and Nomex cloth. The blankets may be cut into complex shapes to fit and fill a cavity or wrap around a structure. Laser trim, water jet or automated drag-knife cutting is available. Edge closeout may be stitched, stapled or sealed. Typical applications include aircraft fuselage, low-temp ducting, industrial exhaust, power plants, utilities, boilers, solar plants, refineries, and ground-based power turbines. Thermal Structures offers on-site measurement and installation services.
