Aluminum JACKETING DESCRIPTION

ECOIN’s Metal Jacketing serves as the top-tier protective layer for mechanical and industrial insulation systems, including those used on pipes, vessels, and equipment. It effectively shields the insulation and the underlying structures from UV rays, physical harm, moisture, and corrosive environments.

Aluminum Jacketing is an innovative solution for ambient and high-temperature systems. It features an embossed pattern specifically designed to enhance cross-directional flow (CDF), allowing any liquid that infiltrates the insulation system to travel to the lowest point and exit through a weep hole or drainage port. Despite the preventive measures in place, water can still find ways to penetrate insulation systems undetected, potentially leading to corrosion under insulation (CUI).

By minimizing the duration that water remains within the system, Jacketing significantly reduces the risk of CUI. Beyond its technical advantages, Jacketing also boasts a unique aesthetic appeal. It is equipped with a standard 3-mil thick polyfilm moisture barrier, heat-laminated to the interior surface, providing extra protection against corrosion. When paired with corrosion-inhibiting insulation products, Jacketing offers exceptional defense against CUI.

CUI PREVENTION AND SYSTEM DRAINAGE

Metal jacketing is recommended for various insulation system applications:

– Ideal for standard outdoor use on all types of pipe, vertical tank insulation systems up to 8 feet in outer diameter, and horizontal tanks.
– Suitable for indoor insulation systems up to 8 feet in outer diameter where enhanced damage resistance is desired.

Additional Advantages of Aluminum Jacketing:

– Demonstrates superior drainage capabilities compared to existing metal jacketing products.
– Boasts a unique aesthetic appearance that can signify an engineered approach to improved protection against Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).
– Utilizes standard techniques for cutting, curling, and installation similar to common jacketing finishes.
– Compatible with all types of insulation materials.
– Includes a Polyfilm Moisture Barrier (PFMB) lining for added protection.

RECOMMENDED USES AND ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Metal jacketing is recommended for a variety of insulation system applications, such as:

– Indoor insulation systems with up to 8-foot outer diameter where enhanced damage resistance is required.
– Standard outdoor use on all horizontal tanks, vertical tank insulation systems up to an 8-foot outer diameter, and all pipes.

Advantages of Aluminum Jacketing:

– Superior drainage performance compared to traditional metal jacketing products.
– Distinctive aesthetic appearance that may signal enhanced CUI protection.
– Can be cut, curled, and installed using the same techniques as common jacketing finishes.
– Compatible with all types of insulation.
– Comes with a Polyfilm Moisture Barrier (PFMB) lining.
