Insulation Jackets for Industrial Applications

Insulation jackets offer flexible application in industrial settings. Depending on the operating conditions, insulation jackets are constructed from various fabric combinations. They feature excellent insulation properties and are also resistant to aggressive media.

NovaNox® insulation jackets thus provide effective protection against fire, sparks, molten metal, acids, and high temperatures. Therefore, insulation jackets are excellently suited for heat and cold protection for accumulators and batteries or other sensitive components. Furthermore, explosive materials can be safely stored and transported within insulation jackets.

With our many years of experience in insulation technology, we develop and produce custom-made insulation jackets for industrial applications. NovaNox® insulation jackets possess excellent insulation properties and are resistant to aggressive media. They are superbly suited for heat and cold protection for accumulators and batteries or other sensitive components. The outstanding material properties also permit the storage and transport of explosive materials.

NovaNox® insulation jackets are manufactured with a contour-adapted design. Due to individual cutting, NovaNox® insulation jackets fit snugly and precisely. Sensitive components or hazardous materials are thus optimally protected from heat and cold. The precise cut also prevents the leakage of explosive liquids or substances.

The Inner Fabric

The inner fabric is made of high-quality, tested glass fibre fabric. For high vibrations and mechanical stresses, the inner fabric is provided with wire reinforcement. The wire reinforcement consists of high-quality V4A stainless steel and protects the inner fabric from direct friction or mechanical stresses. In addition to reliability in continuous operation, this material combination offers a significantly longer service life. Depending on requirements, the inner fabric can be coated with PU, PTFE, or aluminium. These coatings are resistant to oils, chemicals, water, gases, and prolonged weather conditions.

The Outer Fabric

The outer fabric also consists of high-quality glass fibre fabric and, depending on requirements, has a coating of PU, PTFE, or aluminium. These coatings are resistant to oils, chemicals, water, gases, and prolonged weather conditions. The coating thus protects the internal insulation and the inner fabric. As with wire reinforcement, this combination significantly increases the service life. Furthermore, the NovaNox® insulation jacket achieves maximum insulation efficiency.

The Internal Insulation

The internal insulation is the core component of NovaNox® insulation jackets. It consists of high-quality glass fleece and is placed between the inner and outer fabric. The insulating material has a temperature resistance of up to +1,200 °C.

NovaNox® insulation jackets are individually fitted with fasteners for every installation situation. The various fastening techniques offer quick assembly for any specific installation scenario. For maintenance or repairs, NovaNox® insulation jackets can be dismantled and reassembled at any time thanks to the intelligent fastening technology. Attached handles also provide comfortable transport. Disassembly and assembly are extremely fast, ensuring a long service life through reusability. In addition, heat losses are reduced to a minimum. The selection of fasteners depends on the size and positioning of the insulation jackets.

Fastening with Stainless Steel Wire

The most conventional and cost-effective fastening method is securing with stainless steel wire. It is wrapped around sewn-on hooks. While wrapping requires a little more time for assembly and disassembly, it offers very high and variable tensile strength. Moreover, this fastening method is extremely temperature and weather-resistant due to the stainless steel.

Fastening with Tension Springs

The use of stainless steel tension springs represents a cost-effective fastening solution. Compared to stainless steel wire, however, tension springs are distinguished by significantly easier handling during assembly or disassembly. The tensile force is adjusted to the sewn-on hooks and thus cannot be subsequently altered during use. Due to their material properties, these tension springs are also extremely temperature and weather-resistant.

Fastening with Buckles and Straps

Stainless steel buckles and high-quality fabric straps are particularly suitable for frequent maintenance and repair work. This fastening solution is very easy to handle and allows for instantaneous disassembly and assembly, even with work gloves. The high-quality materials also prove to be extremely robust and are temperature and weather-resistant. Therefore, this fastening technique is often used for large and heavy insulation jackets.

Hook-and-Loop Fastener

Both buckles and straps, as well as the hook-and-loop fastener variant, are excellently suited for repeated maintenance and repairs. The hook-and-loop fastener can be used at temperatures up to +240 °C and enables effortless handling as well as instantaneous disassembly and assembly. The flat fastener is particularly useful when limited space is available for the fastening solution.
