The Red Bucket - Episode 28. Is it time to replace traditional tank and pipe insulation? (feat. Michael Stelmach)
For decades, standard practice for insulating storage tanks and piping has been to wrap them in mineral wool, foam, or other low-conductivity materials before sealing them in cladding. This method works well-for a few years, anyway. But guest Michael Stelmach explains how liquid-applied insulative coatings are a longer-lived solution that achieve similar thermal efficiency, similar personnel protection, similar energy savings, and similar process stability while eliminating CUI and other risk factors.
Harder intumescent coatings aren't always better
An assumption that harder intumescent coatings are better than pliable ones stops construction teams from optimizing material selection to save time and money.
