Insulation system outperforms competitors by five times

The insulation system is available in a wide range of diameters, thicknesses and frame designs, preventing the additional cost and inconvenience of adding flexible materials to achieve thicknesses above 25mm, or to insulate large diameter pipes. It offers perfect sealing around a pipe with easy and fast handling, installation and fixing as it is easy to cut and preform on site. Compared with other microporous insulation products on the market, the WDS UltraShell is claimed to provide higher mechanical strength with lower density as well as remarkably low and flat thermal activity.

Supporting a range of space and weight reduction needs, the insulation system offers outstanding thermal stability and dimensional integrity at temperatures of up to 1,000°C. At the core of the WDS UltraShell is a reinforced blend of opacified premium grade inorganic silicates and pyrogenic silica. The homogeneous, compact and robust matrix core allow the product to remain stable even in high operating temperatures, with negligible shrinkage.

The product is environmentally safe, being free from respirable fibre, rutile (TiO2) and other hazardous substances, and complies with both the standard specification for microporous insulation ASTM C1676 and ISO standards.
