Performance Ranking System: H - Baseline, HHH- Better, HHHHH - Best1 Materials that have an organic binder will begin to see some binder oxidation greater than 450°F and in some applications could experience loss of thickness. Vibration can accelerate the loss of loft structure and thickness. Product may need

additional thickness to accommodate for binder burnout.2 Water-resistance and hydrophoic components of insulation materials are organic and will generally begin to oxidize at temperatures between 400-500°F.3 InsulThin HT is much easier to install around large diameter pipes, tanks and vessels than around smaller pipe and intricate fittings. The smaller and more intricate applications requires a higher level of craftsmanship and can be more difficult to fabricate.4 Insulation system longevity ranked based on CUI protection, compressive strength, and vibration resistance. If other factors need to be considered, reevaluate on a case-by-case basis.5 Although the Thermo-1200 and XOX Corrosion Inhibitor are part of the system; because it is not directly against the pipe surface, we cannot expect the same level of corrosion inhibiting performance without knowing the potential exposure any water

ingress had with the corrosion inhibitor itself. * If you are interested in how alternative insulation products or technologies compare to the JM high-temperature insulation portfolio, please contact our technical support team.
