TEXTILE LAGGING

TEXTILE THERMAL INSULATION SYSTEMS

Texfire’s textile lagging offers 3 advantages
before other conventional insulation systems.

ENERGY SAVING

FLEXIBLES

REMOVABLE

ADAPTABLE

Why use removable textile thermal insulation?

· Easy to install and do not require from technical staff for it.

· They don’t detach fibers during its installation.

· They could be dismounted easily for inspection and maintenance tasks.

· They are impermeable and offer an excellent resistant to acids, vapours and agressive liquids.

· Easy to clean.

· They avoid that personnel suffer possible burns by its contact.

· They minimize vibrations.

· They provide acoustic insulation.

· By being made by flame retardant fabric, they bring passive protection against fire to those covered elements.

· They offer excellent flexibility and could be easily adjusted to complex geometries.

THERMAL BARRIERS FOR MULTIPLE SECTORS AND APPLICATIONS

Textile lagging can easily adapt to different geometries as, for example: equipments with pipes, valves, escapes, boat collectors, expansion joints, flanges, boilers, filters, heat exchangers, fluid transport, turbos, flowmeters, turbines, etc.

These are some of the sectors in which insulation textile are installed:

Petrochemical industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Iron and steel industry
Generating plants

Maritime industry and shipyards
Fire and Rescue Corps
Food industry
Cement and porcelain industry

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Maintaining a stable temperature propitiate important energy and economic savings. Thermal insulation is indispensable in any element working in temperatures up to 45ªC, so for security reasons, as well as especially to achieve maximum energy efficiency, retaining heat and avoiding freezing in cold areas, which is translated in notable energy savings and, for that matter, also economic.

VERSATILE AND EFFICIENT TEXTILE THERMAL INSULATION SYSTEMS

The temperature ranges of our range of fabrics, goes from -100ºC to 1.250ºC.

We work with multiple families of fabrics:

Fiberglass E-Glass
Silica fiber
PTFE fabric (non-stick and waterproof)
Steel reinforced fabric
Basalt fabric
Thermal barriers of: Preox, Silice, E-glass...
Aluminized fabrics
All kinds of coatings
Treatments for: Weather, acids, nitrate, metal incandescent impacts...

Closure systems: Velcro, zipper, snap button, wire, hooks, rivets, staples, high temperature adhesive tape, silicone...

CUSTOM MANUFACTURE

In order to produce a made-to-measure thermal insulator, it is needed to follow a protocol of 4 steps:

Establish working temperatures the flame retardant fabric is going to be submitted.
Define all technical dimensions, as for example the piece’s measures.
Select all those fabrics that perform better to the posed needs.
Select the flame retardant complements that better adjust, for example: type of spring, closures, etc.

Due to fabrics used by Texfire are inherent flame retardant (don’t have a flame retardant primer, but the thread itself is flame retardant) the technical team is able to produce thermal insulators for cases when temperatures arrive to peaks over 1.000ªC, not losing its features in time.

Some Texfire projects

We manufacture our own fire retardant fabrics and manufacture different types of thermal insulation according to the technical requirements of each project: thermal barriers, textile expansion joints, compensation bands, thermal insulation blankets, etc.
