Cellular glass insulation is engineered for long-term performance in harsh thermal, moisture, and chemical environments. This closed-cell material delivers unmatched moisture resistance and fire protection for commercial and industrial systems.
Overall Performance: Cellular glass is lightweight, rigid, durable, and is fabricated from closed-cell glass, which makes it impermeable to water and prohibits water migration. The product is non-combustible, which means there is zero flame spread or smoke developed. It does not promote metal corrosion, and its moisture resistance prevents water from reaching equipment and piping.
Physical Characteristics: Cellular glass is dimensionally stable, water-tight, vapor-impermeable, corrosion-resistant, non-combustible, rot- and insect-resistant, and has high compressive strength which ensures structural reliability across a range of conditions.
Temperature Range: Suitable for extreme thermal applications, cellular glass performs in service temperatures ranging from -450°F (-268°C) to 900°F (482°C), making it ideal for both cryogenic and high-heat systems.
Environmentally Safe & Friendly: This material is free of CFC’s and HCFC’s. It is ecologically friendly and is a sustainable construction material.
Fabricated Products: Distribution International offers precision-fabricated cellular glass products, including pipe covers, curved segments, tank heads, and fittings. Utilizing advanced CNC technology, DI produces large-format tiles and custom components that reduce lead times, enhance fit, and improve jobsite efficiency. We lead the industry in fabricating pipe cover and curved segments using 36″ block, which significantly reduces installation time when compared to standard 24″ block.
Reduced Labor Cost: DI fabricated products eliminate in-field fabrication time and cost, allowing you to focus on installation.
