Process

At SIG Distribution, we pride ourselves on being a leading distributor in thermal insulation products. We offer thermal insulant solutions for industrial processes, including power generation, brewing and distilling, offshore and marine, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and other specialist applications.

Corrosion Under Insulation
Corrosion under insulation can be due to many causes, but the most common factor is the presence of water in the insulation system, with the use of water absorbent materials a contributory factor.

Despite the best efforts of operators and contractors to find ways to seal insulation systems, it is almost impossible to keep water out. This can lead to many different oxidation problems, including:

  • Normal oxidation due to the presence of oxygen and water
  • Oxidation caused by deposition of salts due to evaporation on hot surfaces
  • Stress corrosion
  • Galvanic corrosion due to dissimilar metals

These problems cost the industry tens of millions of pounds in repairs and lost time each year, as well as raising serious health and safety issues.

SIG Distribution, in exclusive partnership with Aspen Aerogels®, have a solution to the problem.

Cryogel® and Pyrogel® are new and innovative Aerogel insulation products that actively reduce the impact of water ingress.

An Unrivalled Product Range

At SIG Distribution we offer an unrivalled range of products to the construction industry, including a number of products for Process.

PUR - Technical Insulation
PUR

PUR insulation is suitable for many types of use including: insulated panels and composites; temperature and hygiene controlled environments; and bodywork and refrigerated vehicles.

Insulation Jackets - Technical Insulation
Insulation Jackets

We can supply high performance insulation jackets are specially designed to offer a range of protection tailored to your requirements. Corrosion under insulation costs industry billions of pounds per year in disruption to process and replacement of equipment, insulation jackets prevent this corrosion.

Flexible Pipe Insulation - Technical Insulation
Flexible Pipe Insulation

This insulation is a flexible, high density and mechanically robust, closed cell thermal insulation material based on extruded elastomeric foam. The product has been specially developed to provide enhanced thermal resistance for industrial applications.

Aspen Aerogel - Technical Insulation
Aerogel

Aerogel is engineered to deliver maximum thermal protection with minimal weight and thickness. Unmatched in sub-ambient, cold cycling and cryogenic applications.

Cladding - Technical Insulation
Claddings

These systems have been developed for their fire performance, M1 NFP92-501 Epiradiateur Test, BS476 Part 6 Class O, Part 7 Class 1, ASTM E84 Class A, ASTM D635 (HB) RINA and its low smoke evolution on burning with no harmful gas levels as defined by the International Maritime Organization Resolution.

Cellular Glass - Technical Insulation
Cellular Glass

Produced in a block form and then fabricated into a wide range of shapes and sizes to satisfy industrial and commercial insulation requirements. This is manufactured in a full range of standard thicknesses and it is available in standard SI and Imperial formats.

Calcium Silicate - Technical Insulation
Calcium Silicate

In combination with dense and light-weight refractory bricks or concrete, Calcium Silicate is the ideal back-up lining. Due to the low thermal shock resistance the boards are not suitable for front sided use.

Rock Fibre - Technical Insulation
Rock Fibre

The sections are supplied split and hinged for easy snap-on assembly, and are especially suitable for the thermal and acoustic insulation of industrial pipe work. Rock fibre is a thermal insulation made from mineral wool and specifically produced for building equipment and industrial installations.

PIR - Technical Insulation
PIR

PIR insulation is suitable for a wide spectrum of applications. Whilst retaining all of the benefits of rigid polyurethane insulation, PIR has a considerably increased resistance to burning and spread of flame.
