Fire-resistant insulation plays a crucial role in a facility’s safety management protocol because it can help contain heat and prevent the spread of fire in the event of an operational failure.

Insulation is a necessary part of many tank operations. Unfortunately, corrosion under insulation can be a huge problem, accounting for high maintenance costs and equipment failures.
For all the ways that insulation can improve safety and process efficiency, it can also cause moisture to sit on pipes for prolonged periods of time, which can then lead to corrosion. This corrosion, which occurs under the insulation (otherwise known as CUI) can weaken equipment, leading to dangerous leaks, spills, and contamination.
Studies have shown that pipes left poorly or completely unprotected may experience corrosion in as little as a year.
