Distribution International designs and manufactures custom removable insulation blankets engineered to improve energy efficiency, protect equipment, and support safer working environments. These reusable systems are ideal for components requiring regular maintenance access such as valves, flanges, turbines, and exhaust manifolds.
Overall Performance
Removable insulation blankets combine multiple layers of thermal protection into a single unit that can be easily removed and reinstalled. These systems regulate surface temperatures, reduce heat loss, improve personnel safety, and minimize long-term maintenance costs. DI’s in-house division, Mechanical Insulation Technologies (MIT), specializes in the custom design and fabrication of these solutions for both standard and complex installations.
Physical Characteristics
Each blanket is engineered to conform to unique shapes and sizes. Constructed using rugged, high-performance materials, they are built to endure harsh industrial conditions. Stainless steel hogring staples are used to secure seams, and components are designed for thermal resistance, weather protection, and mechanical durability.
Temperature Range
Blankets are available for both high-temperature and low-temperature applications. Depending on configuration, service ranges may span from subfreezing protection to systems operating at extreme heat.
Environmentally Safe & Friendly
Removable blankets are reusable, long-lasting, and reduce overall insulation waste. Their ability to be reapplied supports more sustainable maintenance practices and reduces resource consumption over time.
Fabricated Products
DI’s MIT team offers several removable insulation solutions tailored to specific applications:
Dura-Temp™ Blankets
Engineered for high-temperature equipment such as exhaust systems and steam turbines.
Features:
- Reusable and long-lasting
- Custom fit for complex shapes
- Energy conserving
- Easy to install with no special training required
Heat Holder™ Blankets
Designed for lower-temperature applications, including instrumentation and piping.
Features:
- Prevents freezing in exposed systems
- Simple removal and reinstallation
- Supports heat retention and workplace comfort
Unipad™ Blankets
Built for fire protection and electrical system coverage.
Features:
- Meets or exceeds UL1709 Rapid Fire Test
- Reduces heat flow and blocks flame paths
- Resistant to chemicals, weather, and UV exposure
- Designed for minimal tools and no added material
Reduced Labor Cost
Reusable blanket systems minimize the need for demolition or re-insulation during repairs. This reduces downtime, lowers labor costs, and extends system longevity without recurring material expenses.
Applications
Removable insulation blankets are ideal for:
- Exhaust manifolds and turbines
- Valves, flanges, and pumps
- Instrumentation and low-temperature piping
- Electrical conduit, cable trays, and actuators
- Marine, energy, chemical, and manufacturing environments
