Thermo-1200 (WATER RESISTANT)

Thermo-1200® is a high temperature, water resistant* Type I calcium silicate designed to inhibit water absorption. In the event of a typical rainstorm  water will bead on the surface of the insulation without penetrating into the substrate. This will allow contractors some additional time to install the insulation without immediately applying the jacketing afterward, offering more time and flexibility in the installation process than has traditionally been available. Additionally, Thermo-1200 contains XOX Corrosion Inhibitor®, a proprietary corrosion inhibiting formula that helps inhibit corrosion under insulation (CUI).

 Thermo-1200 is available in pipe, block, and curved segments. It is inorganic, non-combustible, asbestos-free, and it meets or exceeds the physical and thermal property requirements of ASTM C533, Type 1. It can be used in systems with operating temperatures that range from ambient up to 1200°F (650°C).

Water Resistant*: Thermo-1200 is the only North American calcium silicate insulation available that is water resistant. The insulation is engineered to withstand a heavy rainfall (1¼” of rain/ hour) for up to 20 minutes without absorbing more than 15% of its weight in water. This will allow contractors to install the insulation without immediately applying the jacketing afterward, offering more time and flexibility in the installation process than has traditionally been available

Inhibits Corrosion: A proprietary corrosion inhibitor, called XOXCorrosion Inhibitor®, is integral to the chemical makeup of Thermo-1200. XOX Corrosion Inhibitor helps protect against corrosion under insulation (CUI) and makes Thermo-1200 one of the least corrosive thermal insulations available.

Durable: Thermo-1200 is a cementitious insulation with exceptional compressive strength (>100 psi/690kPa), making it ideal for applications where mechanical abuse is likely. The inorganic binder will hold its shape and maintain the physical integrity of the insulation, even past 450°F, the point at which most organic binders burn off.

Extended Life Cycle: When properly installed and maintained, Thermo-1200’s superior physical strength and inorganic binders can provide an insulation lifespan of up to 25 years or more.
