Hot industrial equipment? Cut the heat loss.

Kilns, furnaces, boilers, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines on sites like this lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes patent-pending removable modular insulation for hot industrial equipment:

  • Up to 96% less heat loss from insulated surfaces
  • Surface temperature down to ≤45°C for worker safety
  • 6× faster maintenance access vs standard insulation jackets and metal cladding/boxes
  • Typical payback up to 2 years
