In petrochemical facilities, a wide range of equipment—such as heat exchangers, storage tanks, distillation towers, and reactors—operates under high temperatures, high humidity, and corrosive conditions. If insulation materials have poor compressive strength, high thermal conductivity, or high water absorption, they can cause substantial heat loss and add unnecessary load to the structure, compromising both energy efficiency and system stability. Selecting an insulation material with excellent thermal performance and strong environmental resistance has become essential to upgrading thermal systems in the petrochemical industry.
Engineered for complex operating environments, CCEWOOL® rock wool board offers low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, strong water repellency, and excellent dimensional stability. It performs reliably in high-temperature and humid conditions without deformation or collapse. The board’s rigid, dense structure allows secure installation on vertical piping, equipment tops, and curved surfaces—ensuring consistent thermal insulation and minimizing heat loss across a wide range of petrochemical applications.
In actual insulation retrofit projects for petrochemical piping and heat exchanger systems, CCEWOOL® rock wool board successfully replaced traditional dense castables and fiberglass mats. The upgrade reduced surface temperatures by an average of 40°C and cut energy consumption by around 11%. Thanks to its lightweight construction and stable form, the board also relieved structural load on support systems, resulting in improved thermal efficiency and overall operational stability.
CCEWOOL® rock wool boards are produced from high-melting-point basalt stone, melted and fiberized at high temperature, and formed through fully automated processes. The result is clean-cut, uniform-thickness boards with precise dimensions. Each board undergoes water repellency treatment and aging resistance testing to ensure long-term performance in harsh petrochemical environments. Custom shapes and sizes are available to meet specific engineering needs and support fast on-site installation.

In glass melting furnaces and other high-temperature equipment, the back-up insulation layer is continuously exposed to harsh alkaline atmospheres during long operation cycles, along with frequent thermal cycling due to furnace start-ups and shutdowns. Traditional organic-bonded refractory ceramic fiber boards often suffer from powdering, odor release, and binder carbonization and delamination in such conditions. These […]

In industries such as precision manufacturing, metal processing, and aerospace, heat treatment equipment is facing increasingly higher demands for temperature control accuracy, energy efficiency, and structural stability. However, traditional insulation materials often suffer from high thermal conductivity, poor thermal shock resistance, and structural deformation. These issues lead to reduced thermal efficiency, elevated surface temperatures, and […]

In electric furnaces, electronic drying units, and heat treatment equipment, insulation materials are expected not only to retain heat, but also to ensure operational safety and a clean environment. Traditional ceramic fiber boards, though effective in thermal insulation, often release dust, generate smoke from organic binders, or deform under thermal shock—leading to contamination of sensitive […]
