New insulation offering incorporating the award-winning WR-Tech™ Water Repellency Technology ensures effective CUI protection for the entire plant.
Houston, Texas: ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation recently introduced its next-generation ProRox® Mat (Wrap) MA 960 with WR-Tech for large-diameter pipework, vessels, columns, and other plant applications requiring design flexibility. ProRox Mat (Wrap) incorporates ROCKWOOL’s proven WR-Tech (Water Repellency Technology), which provides proven protection against corrosion under insulation (CUI) by keeping steel surfaces as dry as possible.
In a plant, water finds its way onto operation-critical equipment and piping systems, even those covered in insulation. The ingress of water, which occurs through every type of insulation, is the main cause of unanticipated heat loss, downtime, and spills due to CUI.
CUI events are expensive, accounting for an estimated 10% of a plant’s overall maintenance costs and 40% - 60% of its pipeline maintenance costs. They also negatively impact the plant’s health, safety, and environmental (HSE) metrics and damage the company’s reputation.
