High-temperature environments are very common in industrial production processes, such as high-temperature boilers, high-temperature steam pipes, etc. Under such working conditions, there are often great safety risks of burns. At the same time, heat loss also brings huge energy waste to industrial production, so the use of heat-resistant insulation materials is crucial.
Traditional thermal insulation systems usually use rock wool and pearl wool to provide thermal insulation functions, but their shortcomings are obvious. Not only are they bulky and time-consuming to install, but complex profiles and valves cannot even provide effective thermal insulation. Traditional insulation materials also have the risk of moisture penetration. Once moisture penetrates, the insulation effect will be greatly reduced.
It can also lead to severe corrosion of pipes beneath the insulation.
Advanced spray-on thermal insulation coating technology can overcome these challenges. Evonik’s latest TEGO®
Therm series of new products can give water-based thermal insulation coatings excellent performance and sustainable advantages, and they still have outstanding thermal insulation and heat resistance even at high temperatures of 250°C.
Improve the thermal insulation properties and durability of coatings
As the main raw material of a new generation of thermal insulation coatings, TEGO®
Therm series is suitable for various thermal insulation demand scenarios, including pipes, tanks, condenser pipes or other internal factory facilities. The product series currently launches three products:
Silica-based microporous particle products
TEGO® Therm HPG 4000 and TEGO® Therm HPG 6806
TEGO® Therm HPG 4000 granular products have a larger particle size, about 300 microns, and have extremely low thermal conductivity at high temperatures;
TEGO® Therm HPG
The particles of 6806 are finer (particle size is about 30 microns), and higher amounts can be added to ensure a smooth coating surface. Both granular products offer outstanding thermal insulation, providing mechanical stability and hydrophobicity, while their inorganic structure makes the products non-flammable.
With its new product range TegoTherm, Evonik develops functional ingredients that improve the performance of thermal insulation coatings. Super insulating TEGO
Therm particles have extremely low thermal conductivity properties, which can significantly reduce energy loss, especially in high temperature environments.
Tego
Therm coating provides good adhesion to a variety of substrates and is highly durable, and its low thermal conductivity prevents corrosion beneath the insulation. This significantly extends the service life of equipment or pipes and reduces maintenance costs.
Water-based resin based on silicone technologyTEGO® Therm L 300
Generally, ordinary acrylic water-based resins used for thermal insulation coatings have a temperature resistance of no higher than 160°C, while Evonik’s water-based resin TEGO® Therm L
300 can withstand high temperatures of 250°C, which can very well expand the use temperature range of thermal insulation coatings. Thanks to its excellent adhesion on a variety of substrates, TEGO® Therm L
300 ensures the coating has super toughness.
And depending on specific application requirements, TEGO® Therm products can be used in combination or with other thermal insulation raw materials. Using TEGO® in combination
Therm granular products and heat-resistant resins are particularly suitable for applications involving ultra-high temperature environments.
Water-based formula, sprayable, Cost-effective Improve construction environmental safety and energy efficiency
Construction is easy using TEGO®
Important advantages of Therm’s thermal insulation coatings. The construction of traditional insulation materials such as rock wool is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to provide complete insulation for equipment and components, especially components with complex geometric structures. Surfaces that are not effectively insulated will increase energy losses due to higher temperatures. Add TEGO®
Therm products’ thermal insulation coatings are suitable for various thermal insulation demand scenarios. They are easy to spray and can be sprayed even when the equipment is running to avoid shutdowns.
