Hey folks in the chemical industry — still struggling to decide which insulation material to use for your reactors? Let’s skip the fluff and get straight to real performance — hitting the pain points directly!

First recommendation: thermal insulation coating. Its strength lies in real performance.

1. Powerful heat insulation — once applied on the reactor’s outer wall, the surface temperature drops to a safe, touchable level, eliminating burn risks during inspection.

2. Long-lasting durability — the coating remains stable for over 10 years, no frequent maintenance like other materials.

3. No downtime — installation doesn’t require shutting down the equipment, and it’s ready for use within 24 hours, so production continues uninterrupted.

And the best part — it’s hassle-free: only a 5 mm thin layer is enough, unlike traditional thick insulation that adds load or takes up space. It combines performance and practicality perfectly.

Next comes rare-earth insulation — it performs decently at first, but degrades fast. After about three years, cracking appears and reapplication is needed. It’s suitable only if your budget allows short-term solutions — not cost-effective in the long run.

Then there’s cement-based insulation. It barely handles temperature, but it’s fragile — even slight vibration causes cracking, insulation fails instantly, and it needs to be stripped and recoated. Plus, it’s heavy — adds load to the reactor, creating safety risks, and every repair means production downtime.

Lastly, aluminum sheet + rock wool. Looks fine at first, but in reality, it’s underperforming: once rock wool absorbs moisture, insulation fails; the aluminum seams leak heat, and the outer wall still gets hot. You’ll be patching it every year — unstable performance and a lot of hassle.

If your reactor operates above 200 °C, don’t worry! Our thermal insulation coating can be paired with silicone-based high-temperature coating, delivering superior heat resistance — stable even at 400 °C+, keeping the surface safe to touch, with no cracking or added load. Much more reliable than those bulky cement systems!

So, is your reactor running at regular temperature or above 200 °C? Drop a comment below — whether it’s performance doubts or selection confusion, I’ll help you sort it out!
