Marinite can be used as the insulating material in hot piping supports. The most widely known grade for Marinite is grade P. Marinite-P is most often used as structural insulation because of its high dimensional stability. Marinite-P is incombustible, provides high insulation values, and high compressive strengths and is thus appropriate in high-load and high-temperature applications. The material minimizes decay, rust, and corrosion and it resists damage during installation and provides durable service. The material acts as a suitable insulator in fireproofing and heat processing equipment applications up to 1200°F (649°C).
Major Advantages:
• High compressive strength.
• Deflects less than 1/10 in. per inch of thickness under 4000 psi.
• Deflects less than 3/64 in. per inch of thickness under 2000 psi.
• High tensile strength.
• High resistance to shear and traverse forces.
Major Applications:
• Hot line pipe supports in power generation and process industries.
• Structural insulation in pipe.
• Supports backup insulation in rotary kilns of lime and cement plants.
• Ceramics and foundry applications.
Coefficient of Friction:
0.08 @ minimum pressure
