It focuses on innovations in industrial insulation, with a particular emphasis on corrosion under insulation (CUI), and includes a discussion with Jack Blundell from ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation. 

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to mitigating corrosion under insulation (CUI)—and there’s no “magic” insulation that eliminates the risk in every situation. The right approach depends on your specific application and operating context, and every insulation option comes with trade-offs (pros and cons) that need to be weighed against your priorities. 

For a fuller explanation of why CUI is complex and how to think about choosing the most appropriate approach, listen to the Podcast episode featuring Jack Blundell (ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation) above.  

Stone wool insulation has several core features that can support plant safety, particularly when you’re balancing operational performance with risk management: 

• Thermal insulation: Helps manage process temperatures and reduce unwanted heat transfer, supporting safer operating conditions around equipment and pipework. 

• Fire safety: Stone wool is non-combustible and offers fire resistance, which can be an important safety consideration in industrial environments. 

• Acoustic performance: Stone wool has acoustic insulation properties that can contribute to noise reduction, helping improve the working environment in and around noisy equipment as well as for the surrounding neighborhood.  

• Durability: Its durability supports long-term performance, which is relevant for maintaining consistent insulation function over time.
