High Temperature
...the choice of industry
experts for over 35 years...
SIG Technical Insulation places high value on
quality and integrity in all aspects of our High
Temperature business. We are a leading distributor
of High Temperature insulation and associated
products for a wide variety of applications and
markets. These markets include: Power Generation,
Petrochemical, Offshore and Marine, Aluminium,
and Iron and Steel amongst others.
The High Temperature market demands a quick
response to customer needs, with SIG Technical
Insulation’s comprehensive stock profile enabling
us to service this market.
Power Generation
The secret to successfully supplying the Power Generation industry
is having the right stock on the ground when required – especially
during annual shutdowns.
Here at SIG Technical Insulation we are committed to having a
constant dialogue with our customer base, this has allowed us to
demonstrate our capabilities in this area time and again, ensuring
our customers get the right product at the right place at the right
time.
SIG Technical Insulation can offer advice and the supply of products
for all types of boilers. We have products that are designed to
withstand corrosion, erosion and thermal conditions that are
experienced in this environment.
SIG Technical Insulation focuses on providing
innovative products and solutions to our end users,
now including thermographic surveys and an
installation service. Many of the products are tested
to international standards, a number of which are
approved for cellulosic, hydrocarbon and jet fire
protection.
Petrochemical
SIG Technical Insulation has invested in stocking a wide range of
products to meet the high standards of the Petrochem and
Chemical industries.
Insulation requirements on Petrochemical plants are very diverse,
from large specialised storage tanks, process heaters, thermal
oxidisers and incinerators with applications across a wide
temperature range.
Over the years, we have supplied material to all of the UK’s
Petrochemical plants, from Sullom Voe in the Shetland Islands
to Exxon Fawley and BP Wytch Farm in the South of England.
SIG Business Support
SIG has teamed up with a number of carefully selected third parties to offer our
customers a combined, unique and market leading package of financial services. SIG
customers can exclusively benefit from discounted rates and in some cases privileged
access to business enhancing products not freely available elsewhere to help secure
additional finance, increased cash flow and enhanced internal risk processes.

Offshore and Marine
Iron and Steel
The importance of safety is paramount within the Offshore and
Marine industries, SIG Technical Insulation have the expertise and
range of products to insulate and protect the many and varied
applications found Offshore, including Cryogenic, High Temperature
and Personal Protection. Fire Protection in this Offshore environment
is always taken very seriously, with many authorities involved in
the certification of bulkhead and deckhead insulation, such as IMO/
SOLAS, Lloyds, Det Norsk Veritas and the British Admiralty.
SIG Technical Insulation provides a number of Refractory and High
Temperature materials to assist steel makers in the production of
their products.
SIG Technical Insulation can offer a local service to these sites.
Products range from Alumina silica bricks, Insulating bricks, RCF &
(AES) Wool products, Microporous and Monolithic products.
Other applications include exhaust insulation, hydrocarbon fire
insulation, fire seals and drench systems, as well as the insulation of
accommodation. SIG Technical Insulation has been the leader in this
field for many years. We have introduced many innovations to the
Offshore market, in particular where corrosion under insulation is a
serious problem and time saving solutions are at a premium due to
the additional costs associated with Offshore contracts.
Aluminium
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)
Non-ferrous products are in high demand and the industry
continually strives to increase productivity whilst reducing running
costs by means of process and efficiency improvements.
SIG Technical Insulation are ideally set up to support both end users
and contractors in achieving these improvements with an offer of
materials for melting and holding furnaces as well as the casting
process.
SIG Technical Insulation has for many years been supplying
materials for the manufacture of such equipment as Boilers, Kilns,
Ovens and Furnaces.
Included in our range are products with superior non-wetting
properties.

“Alkaline Earth Silicate” (AES) Wool
Products
Boards
UP TO
1300oC
Felts
UP TO
1300oC
(AES) Wool Products are manufactured by melting a mixture of calcia/magnesia & silica, and blowing or spinning the melt to produce fibres.
These fibres can then be needled together, forming a mechanically strong binder-less product or mixed with a binder and pressed to form
boards. They offer products with similar performance to Refractory Ceramic Fibres without the potential health and safety concerns.
(AES) Wool Products have a classification temperature of up to 1300°C; the classification temperature is the temperature at which the
product suffers a permanent shrinkage of less than 4% over a 24 hour period.
The fibres have been designed to have low bio-persistence to encourage their breakdown within the body if inhaled or ingested. Exonerated
from any carcinogenic classification under nota Q of directive 97/69EC.

Calcium Silicate is a traditional insulation material that has been used for many years. Its main benefits are its relatively high
temperature limits (depending on type), its strength and appearance and the fact that it can be cut or moulded into a wide range of
shapes and components for hot insulation uses.
As well as being available in pipe sections, lags and slabs, this type of material is also available in a cementitious form for direct
application to complicated shapes or for finishing uneven surfaces.

Thermographic Surveys
By means of an external furnace survey utilising a Thermographic camera or gun we can assess the energy loss through the casing,
advising current and future potential problems within the furnace.
This allows an easy calculation to be made showing energy wastage and potential savings in both energy and money.
