What is Thermal Insulation?

Thermal insulation blankets or covers are fitted to exhaust systems, in order to reduce the surface temperature, therefore reducing the risk of fire. These blankets typically consist of 3 layers:

1. The first (inner layer) is known as the Hot Face, and is the surface in immediate contact with the manifold, turbo or pipework. This consists of aluminium-backed silica-glass cloth of continuous filament amorphous silica material.
2. The second (middle layer) is the main Insulation Layer. Known as Needle Mat, it can be varied in thickness, depending on specific requirements or physical space restrictions. 
3. The third (outer layer) is known as the Cold Face, and consists of a silica-glass cloth which can be coated in a variety of different materials such as silicone, aluminium or Teflon. Silicone coating is the most popular, particularly on mobile underground plant, as it is non-absorbent and repels oils or other flammable liquids that may cause a fire.
