Best-in-class CUI mitigation with ArmaGel® HT – now available at Encon Technical Solutions

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) continues to be a major issue for process industries in oil, gas, chemical and power generation sectors. Minimise the risk with ArmaGel HT.

It is estimated that up to 10% of annual maintenance costs in these industries are caused by CUI. Severe cases of CUI may put the safety of personnel, operation processes, environment, and reputation at risk.

Minimise the risk with ArmaGel HT

ArmaGel HT, part of the ArmaGel product range, allows for high temperature up to 650 degrees Celsius, with exceptionally low thermal conductivity and is one of the highest performing insulation materials available on the market today.

ASTM C871 & C795 compliant, this new generation of flexible aerogel blanket has undergone extensive assessment through the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) TG516 test protocol to confirm its best-in-class CUI mitigation credentials.

NACE is widely considered to be a worldwide corrosion authority and provides a standardised test method, “TG516”, which is designed to test insulation materials and coatings applied to cylindrical surfaces. The design of the test method is based on an approach that simulates field conditions and replicates the conditions of a corrosive environment under insulation in an accelerated manner.

Thanks to its flexibility, ArmaGel HT can be applied tightly even on small bore pipes leaving very little or no annular space. Linear seams between blanket sections can also be tightly fit, making the whole system highly resistant to water ingress, thus effectively mitigating CUI.

The wider benefits of ArmaGel HT

  • Increased coverage – ArmaGel HT is available in 5, 10, 15, and 20mm thicknesses. A thicker layer gives more insulation coverage per man hour than traditional aerogel insulation.
  • Superior thermal performance – Offering up to five times superior thermal performance versus like-for-like competing insulation products.
  • Reduce labour cost – Cuts easily and conforms to preferred shapes, with less wastage, making it the right fit for installers.
  • Environmentally safe – ArmaGel HT is chloride-free and landfill disposable. Featuring Armacell’s innovative dust-reducing technology, LoDust, it’s flexible and easy to handle for installers.

More than just insulation

ArmaGel HT is backed up by a comprehensive after-sales support package, from application advice and guidance through to technical advice and specification guidance.
