The function of DriTherm® is to provide both insulation and corrosion protection in a field applied system. DriTherm is installed directly around piping to form a dense, closed cell barrier, between piping and the surrounding soil. Once installed to specified dimensions, the product self compacts upon backfill to form a strong (12,000 PSF) block of cohesively bonded particles that prevent air and moisture passage to the carrier piping.
Typical DriTherm® applications include: High pressure steam/condensate, hot & chill water piping, and industrial processing piping. Our customer base includes major colleges and universities, state and federal institutions, military bases, refineries and industrial/housing complexes. When compared to traditional products, a DriTherm system can be as much as 30% less in total installed cost, with no compromise in thermal efficiency or longevity.
Features:
1. 100% Self-Compacting; No mechanical compaction required.
2. Environmentally friendly & nontoxic
3. Cost effective; 25% to 40% less installed cost.
4. Certified 100% hydrophobic; Less than 0.02% moisture (14days/10ft head)
5. Only product of it's Federally approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Dept. of Air force, and the VA administration.
DriTherm® is an excellent alternative to pre-insulated piping systems because it can be applied to existing systems, adapted to unknown field conditions, and is available on very short notice from one of our five factories. It also offers better thermal efficiency than pre-insulated systems and it's excellent load bearing capabilities make it suitable for applications under roads or overhead structures.
