The Solution:
The project scope entailed thermal insulation for boilers and pipelines and the natural choice was to use ULTIMATE U Thermo products. The application temperature ranged from 200oC to 350oC and saw over 5000 m2 of ULTIMATE U-Thermo Matt and 1000 LM (linear meters) of ULTIMATE U-Thermo pipe being used.
