Applications
THERMAFIBER Industrial Board Insulation offers excellent thermal and acoustical performance in both hot and cold applications to conservcell namenergy, maintain process temperatures, provide personnel protection, prevent condensation, and reduce noise emission and transmission.
Industrial Board Insulation may be used to insulate plant equipment such as boilers, furnaces, ovens, ducts, precipitators, tanks and other mechanical equipment operating at continuous service temperatures from sub-ambient to 1200ºF.
Specification Compliance
THERMAFIBER Industrial Board products comply to the following standards and specifications: ASTM E-84; ASTM E-136 (rated noncombustible as defined by NFPA Standard 220 when tested according to ASTM E136); ASTM C-177; ASTM 0411; ASTM C-518; ASTM C-553 (Federal Spec. HH-I-558B); ASTM C 612; ASTM C 1335; ASTM C 165.

General Information
THERMFIBER Industrial Board Insulation is available in five nominal densities. 4 through 12 lb./cu.ft. and meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM C 612-00. Industrial Board products are available in various thicknesses from 1″ to 6″. in 1/2″ increments. Standard width is 24″; standard length is 48″. (Non-standard sizes available)
Start up Procedure
On initial start-up only, heat rise should not exceed 15ºF per minute to allow binder to dissipate without excessive temperature rise. Thermal conductivity is not affected. When insulation is to be used in applications exposed to high air velocities. Adequate protection must be provided to prevent erosion of insulation. Severe vibration may cause degradation of insulation under some conditions. Contact your representative for recommendations on unusual applications.
