Insulation Jackets: A Common Industrial Insulation Solution
Insulation jackets are one of the most widely used insulation materials in the industry, designed to wrap around industrial equipment. They are composed of three main components:
- Outer Protective Covering: This layer is designed to protect the insulation from its surrounding environment.
- Insulation Mat: Typically made of fiberglass with a thickness of 1 inch, it helps retain heat. The thickness of this layer can vary from ½ inch to 4 inches, depending on the required level of heat reduction.
- Inner Liner: This layer helps keep the insulation mat in place and can also serve as a barrier to protect the insulation from fluid leaks.
Thermal insulation jackets can be filled with various insulating materials, such as aerogel, wool, or fiberglass, which are often layered for maximum heat retention.
In addition to the three main components, all insulation jackets include fastening systems to ensure that they are securely and tightly fitted around the equipment. Common fastening methods include:
- Stainless steel wiring
- Straps
- Springs
- Buttons
- Velcro
These components and fastening methods are designed to ensure that thermal insulation jackets effectively retain heat.

Types of Insulation Jackets
Insulation jackets can be categorized into three types:
- Pillow Insulation Jackets
- Cladding Insulation Jackets
- Valve Thermal Insulation Jackets (designed for valves)
Each design offers specific benefits and is used for different applications.
- Pillow Insulation: In this design, the insulation material is placed between fabric coverings and then installed on the equipment.
- Cladding Insulation: In this design, the insulation material is placed on the equipment and then covered with a metal sheet, such as aluminum, steel, or galvanized steel.
- Valve Insulation Jackets: This design is a flexible and efficient solution used for thermal and fireproof insulation of various industrial valves, including flow control valves and emergency shut-off valves.
