ExoWrap® Insulation System
Meets IMO Resolution MSC.61(67) Adoption of the international code for application of fire test procedures. Each ExoWrap® Blanket Roll is supplied with one roll of ExoWrap® ‘Silhesive’ Tape for fastening.
Meets SOLAS Regulation ll - 2/15.2.10 “Surfaces with temperatures above 220º C which may be impinged as a result of a fuel system failure shall be properly insulated.”
ExoWrap®, the ‘one-step’ insulation system, is the quick and easy way to insulate high temperature surfaces in vessel engine rooms. ExoWrap® is a revolutionary system made from biosoluble vitreous silicate fibre which is reinforced with an outer jacket of heat sealed aluminum foil. In tape or blanket format, ExoWrap® is applied in one step eliminating the need for bulky and time consuming layered insulation. ExoWrap® can be easily removed and reinstalled by using the ExoWrap® ‘Silhesive’ Tape and is rated for use to 1,000º C max. ExoWrap® can be used throughout the engine room.
ExoWrap® Tape For use on bent and flanged pipes in areas where maintenance is not a consideration and/or space is limited. ExoWrap® has a pressure sensitive adhesive on the inner side for ease of installation.
Application Instructions:
1.) |
Remove dirt, oil, scale and excessive moisture from surface. |
2.) |
ExoWrap® is wound around the pipe in a spiral motion using a 50% overlap to ensure good adhesion. Be sure that the foil edges are securely fastened. Ends can be secured with wire or clips if desired. |
ExoWrap® Blankets For use on straight pipes, valves, exhaust equipment, turbochargers, angled and uneven surfaces and anywhere that insulation is required. ExoWrap® Blankets are secured with ExoWrap® ‘Silhesive’ Tape for ease of maintenance.
Application InstructionsApplication Instructions:
1.)Cut the ExoWrap® Blankets to size with a utility knife or shears. Wrap around the surface to be insulated, butting the ends together forming a seam.
2.)Secure and seal the seam with Silhesive Tape.
3.)To remove ExoWrap® Blanket, cut the Silhesive Tape and unwrap from metal surface. To reinstall, new Silhesive Tape must be applied.
There are many advantages to EXO over a glass wool bonded with a phenolic binder. Typical phenolic binders burn out at as low as 400F and the result is a product that falls apart once the resin is gone. In addition, the resin smokes as it burns out and is a potential health hazard to those who are exposed to it. EXO is mechanically needled, resin free, smoke free and maintains it strength at elevated temperatures.
The patented process used to manufacture EXO creates a product that is superior in high vibration / high temperature applications such as Marine Engine Room(s); Steam Pipe(s) and Exhaust Pipe(s). By removing large shot in the process, EXO has excellent vibration resistance and is the perfect insulation for these applications.
The higher density EXO also has superior thermal performance and a greater safety margin for those who come in contact with the insulation.
