Industrial Case Studies
Textile Industry
ISSUE: Decrease production costs, improve energy efficiency, protect equipment from
corrosion and moisture.
SOLUTION: Nansulate® Translucent High Heat offers an inexpensive means to increase the
lifespan of equipment, protect against corrosion, and decrease the amount of energy used
for equipment processes
"Why insulate? Why Nansulate?
Global competition forces manufacturing companies to reduce production costs, where
energy and metal prices are increasing rapidly.
Therefore a good way to decrease production cost is to make maximum use of the energy
available and to install systems with much longer usable lifetime.
We need to use more technology in both insulation and corrosion protection.
It is possible to insulate with conventional materials only to a degree because;
you cannot insulate wet areas,
conventional insulation does not prevent corrosion, sometimes increases it
Useful lifetime of conventional insulation is much less,
application of Nansulate is simple and cheap, but takes a longer time.
conventional systems do not offer long term protection against moisture.
We used Nansulate in our textile dyeing and finishing plant; especially for thermal insulation
of dyeing machines which operate at 130 C. Our aims were
i) with a minimum surface temperature reduction of 70 C,
a) decrease energy cost
b) increase process stability(which would mean increased product quality and decreased
re-work)),and process reproducibility
ii)increase machine metal parts lifetime by increased protection against corrosion
iii) increase usable lifetime of cold water and steam valves
iv) decrease dyeing process times.
In this respect, we are aiming to achieve a minimum of 20% gain in energy consumption, and
overall 10% reduction in unit material production cost.
You cannot buy energy cheaper, but with a good insulation,you can achieve maximum gains.
If you are looking for a solution to insulation as well as corrosion protection, offering
long-term usage, Nansulate is the ideal solution"

ISSUE: Need to insulate, reduce surface temeprature, protect equipment from corrosion and
moisture.
SOLUTION: Nansulate® Translucent High Heat was applied to interchangers and other
equipment to insulate, protect against corrosion, and decrase the amount of energy used
for equipment processes. Preliminary results showed a 20 degrees Centigrade (36
Fahrenheit) difference after a 3 coat coverage (approx. thickness of 7 mils).

Heat Exchangers
ISSUE: Decrease LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) expense, improve energy efficiency.
SOLUTION: This Dyehouse, located in the Trakya region of Turkey, manufactures products
for clientele which includes two of the largest sports apparel manufacturers in the world.
Nansulate® Translucent High Heat had been applied to all heat exchangers of the
customer's dyeing machines. After monitoring closely their consumption of LNG (liquified
natural gas) for a period of 5 months, it was shown that they experienced an energy savings
of more than 20%. From this data, the company anticipates that their savings is approx.
$40,000 per month in energy costs, and based on this data have contracted to have other
areas throughout the factory coated with Nansulate®, such as their LNG burners, dye
machines, fabric drying and ranges, steam pipes, valves and hot water storage tanks; with
an expected further increase in the money they save per month on their factory's energy
costs.
