Universal Blanket

BASIC USE
Universal Blanket is utilized in general purpose applications where a flexible thermal, acoustical insulation is required. This product can be fabricated into a variety of shapes and sizes to fit almost any application. Additionally it will withstand temperatures up to 450°F.

BENEFITS
Universal Blanket reduces heat transfer through equipment walls, which lowers energy consumption, thereby reducing fuel bills. The product absorbs the level of equipment noise and when installed with a suitable vapor retarder, helps reduce condensation from forming on the surface of cooling equipment. Properly installed, Universal Blanket is unaffected by aging and temperature changes. The inorganic fibers will not rot or decompose and will maintain thermal and acoustical efficiency under normal conditions.
