Cellular Glass
Cellular Glass (FOAMGLAS™)
Cellular glass insulation is a light-weight, rigid material made of sealed glass cells, each of which is an insulating entity. It achieves excellent fire without the use of flame retardants.
Common Application
While a less-efficient as a thermal insulator than more commonly-used foam insulators, cellular glass insulation features properties particularly beneficial for long term applications, including zero water vapor permeability, and zero combustibility. Long-lasting outdoor installations that require little maintenance are especially well suited:
- Hot oil and hot asphalt storage tanks
- Oil and chemical processing systems
- Commercial piping and ductwork
Cellular Glass Insulation Properties
- R-value at one-inch thickness: 3.2
- Service temperature range: -430F to 900F
- Average compressive strength: 90 PSI
- Water-vapor permeability: 0 inches
- 0 combustibility
- Long-term dimensional stability
- Resistant to vermin
