PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CooperKnit® Thermal Insulation Blankets are high-performance heat treatment insulation solutions designed to improve thermal efficiency and safety during industrial heating processes. Made from cost-effective knitted silica fibre, these insulation blankets help retain heat around heating elements, reduce energy loss, and protect personnel from high temperatures. CooperKnit® insulation offers excellent durability, reusability, and reduced skin irritation compared with many conventional high-temperature insulation materials.
Product description
CooperKnit® Thermal Insulation Blankets are engineered to enhance the efficiency and safety of industrial heat treatment operations. These insulation blankets are typically placed over heating elements during heat treatment setups to help maintain the desired temperature across the workpiece, reduce heat losses from the edges of heaters, and provide an additional layer of protection for personnel working near high-temperature equipment.
Manufactured from knitted silica fibre, CooperKnit® insulation provides an effective thermal barrier while remaining lightweight, flexible, and easy to install. Unlike many traditional high-temperature insulation fibres, CooperKnit® offers a lower risk of skin irritation and improved health and safety characteristics, making it more comfortable for operators handling the material during installation and removal.
The insulation blankets are highly durable and designed for repeated use in demanding industrial environments. They can operate continuously at temperatures up to 950°C without losing their thermal or mechanical performance. Independent testing has also demonstrated that no respirable fibres were detected after exposure to 1000°C for 24 hours, highlighting the material’s stability and safety under extreme heat conditions.
For most industrial heat treatment applications, it is recommended to apply two layers of 10 mm thick CooperKnit® insulation to achieve optimal heat retention and temperature uniformity. This layered insulation approach helps maximize energy efficiency, improves heat treatment results, and minimizes heat loss from heating elements.
CooperKnit® Thermal Insulation Blankets are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and heavy fabrication where controlled heat treatment processes are essential.
