Underdeck Insulation

Underdeck insulation in an industrial process or plant is often neglected but is one of the most important techniques to reduce the heat inflow. Underdeck insulation ensures low consumption of energy that is spent on maintaining inner atmosphere of the plant and also stops the radiant heat entering the factory that increases the temperature substantially. Underdeck insulation may not add to the cost of construction as its payback period in the form of lower energy bills is very short. It should be noted that underdeck insulation helps not only to reduce energy consumption and energy bills but also helps to make significant input for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Different types of underdeck insulation materials are available in the market. Supreme Industries manufactures two products, viz., INSUshield and INSUreflector which can be effectively used in underdeck insulation in any industrial process or plant.

INSUshield - a non-fibrous, fire retardant, closed-cell, tri-dimensional chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam suitable for AC duct insulation, underdeck insulation, pipeline, and acoustic flooring. As it is more than 90% closed-cell, there is negligible water/moisture absorption. INSUshield is chemically inert, thus providing resistance to chemical attack. Prolonged exposure to extreme operating temperatures will not have any impact on INSUshield, as it performs well in wide operating temperature range from -40°C to + 80°C.
