Marinite® is widely used as an insulating material in hot piping support applications, with Grade P (Marinite-P) being the most commonly specified due to its excellent structural properties.
Marinite-P is well-suited for structural insulation thanks to its high dimensional stability, ensuring consistent performance under varying thermal and load conditions. It is incombustible, offers high thermal insulation values, and provides excellent compressive strength, making it ideal for high-load, high-temperature environments.
Additionally, Marinite® helps minimize decay, rust, and corrosion at the pipe support interface. Its durability allows it to withstand handling and installation conditions while providing long-term, reliable service. The material is also effective in fireproofing and heat-processing applications, with a maximum service temperature of up to 1200°F (649°C).
