Top 5 Reasons People Choose Dragon Jacket Insulation™

Dragon Jacket Insulation is a “secret weapon” of food industry operators, bridge engineers, oil and gas project managers and mining teams for many reasons, not the least being its absolute reliability under extreme operational conditions. Those in the know benefit from its capability and efficiency. But if you’re new to our patented technology, you might be wondering what makes Dragon Jacket so superior to the other options out there.

Is Insulation Sabotaging Your Heat Tape or Heat Trace System?

Heat tape and heat trace systems are a vital part of temperature maintenance operations for industries including oil and gas, chemicals, and food production. When operating as intended, heat tape and heat trace systems help to keep pipeline contents at stable temperatures. Choose Dragon Jacket Insulation to protect these critical systems.

Dragon Jacket Insulation™

From sewer mains to power plants, Dragon Jacket protects critical infrastructure with a product that is built to be efficient, long-lasting, and safe. Dragon Jacket insulation will not absorb oil or other fluids, and our patented, fully encapsulated system will not compromise the integrity of mechanical systems.

Dragon Jacket Installation Comparison

Depending on the insulation type there can be HUGE differences in the price of the product vs. the price of the installation & ongoing maintenance. With a Dragon Jacket project, most of the costs are associated with the product. This is because Dragon Jacket is so quick to install, taking only minutes using standard tools and personnel. When pricing out your next insulation project, think long-term and always consider cost breakdown, lifespan, and reusability! 

Dragon Jacket Bridges

Bridge pipelines operate within harsh conditions. Protecting them requires insulation that can stand up to freezing temperatures, while also being durable enough to last decades through extreme weather, vibration, and operational wear and tear.
