What Is A Heat And Frost Insulator?

The function of an insulator is to insulate mechanical structures, whether hot or cold, from ambient temperatures. Any surfaces having low, medium or high temperatures, such as boilers, refrigeration units, furnaces, heat exchangers, many pipes, tanks, etc., found in powerhouses, refineries, aboard ships, in high-rise buildings, will be insulated by our mechanics for process control, for fire protection, for personnel protection or for sound reduction. After the insulation has been applied, protective covers, coatings and jacketing are also fabricated and installed.
