News News Release from: Worbo Inc. February 2006 High temperature insulation sleeve protects workers from burn injuries on high temperature flexible hoses, pipes, and equipment……..
Insulating high temperature hoses, pipes and equipment with removable Cool-Skin™ sleeve helps to create a safer more efficient workplace.
Worbo Inc. is pleased to announce a vast advancement in flexible high temperature insulation technology with the introduction of its Cool-Skin™ line of non-fibrous, removable, user friendly, high temperature insulation products in the form of sleeves, wraps, blankets, tapes and custom designed component insulation.
Worbo’s progress in high temperature insulation technology helps industry reduce the potential for burn injuries in the workplace. Thermal burn injuries caused by accidental contact with high temperature surfaces are among industries leading causes for workplace accidents and injury loss time.
Areas typically elusive to traditional insulation technologies have been medium to high temperature flexible hoses, tight bend radiuses, small diameter tubing and piping, irregular shaped process segments, oil jacketed jumper hoses and other high temperature irregular system components.
Rubber coated fiberglass sleeves are too thin and do not provide effective burn protection for medium to high temperature surfaces. In many cases, thin rubber coated fiberglass sleeves will actually increase the heat losses in high temperature lines.
Traditional insulation technology using fibrous insulating materials and a hard aluminum outer cladding require the expertise and skills of a professional contractor to complete the work. Thick fibrous insulation with hard cladding is non-removable, non-flexible and too difficult and expensive to install in these areas so they are normally left bare.
The introduction of the Cool-Skin™ line of high temperature insulation burn protection products finally offer distributors, OEM’s and end-users the perfect solution for covering difficult high temperature areas to help reduce the potential for burn injuries and create a safer working environment for personnel.
Cool-Skin™ high temperature insulation sleeving is easily cut to length and quickly installed in the field by your own personnel. There are no loose fibers, airborne particulates, or end fraying when cutting Worbo’s high temperature insulating sleeve to length in the field with a standard pair of scissors. Unlike traditional insulation, the hook and loop self gripping fastener incorporated into the Cool-Skin™ design makes for an easy, effective installation OR removal in seconds!
Cool-Skin’s simple hook and loop design allows staff to access process lines hundreds of times while performing maintenance procedures or trouble-shooting system components. Once line interruption is complete, Cool-Skin™ is re-installed in seconds to lower the risk for burn injury due to contact with high temperature hoses, pipes, or equipment.
Introducing industry to Worbo’s Cool-Skin™ line of high temperature protection products will help demonstrate unrealized energy savings while creating a safer workplace environment.
