Hitlin (high-temperature layered insulation) features low thermal conductivity that offers 49% less heat loss than traditional industrial insulation materials calcium silicate and perlite, according to the manufacturer. The new industrial insulation is appropriate for power plants, petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants, among others, and can be used in process applications with temperatures up to 1,400F. Hitlin is made of continuous filament E-glass fibers that are bound through an enhanced mechanical needle-punching process, then mandrel-wound into pipe cover sizes from 0.5- to 44-in.-dia., and thicknesses up to 6 in. Said to have total installed costs and life-cycle costs lower than competing products, Hitlin is now being distributed in North America. — Visionary Industrial Insulation, Kapolei, Hawaii
