Fireproof Insulation Materials from Bellis Australia

For 47 years, Bellis Australia has become an industry powerhouse providing a comprehensive range of fireproof insulation materials for thermal, cryogenic, and acoustic installations. In addition, the team also offers skilled multi-disciplinary services and turnkey solutions for high-risk industries, such as the liquefied natural gas (LNG), power plant, petrochemical, and resource processing industries.

Integrated fireproof insulation materials are essential in fireproofing high-risk industrial facilities. This type of passive fire protection measure reduces the risk of fire escalation when all structural support fails and there is overheating of pressure vessels.

Fireproof insulation materials must be chosen deliberately based on their application and endurance to sustain the everyday rigour of scenarios in petrochemical plants and refineries. The prerequisite of built-in industrial fireproofing insulation intends to buy time in warding off the source of fire and protecting the workers and facility, as well as the surrounding environments from the fire-related damages.

Bellis Australia's Fireproof Insulation Materials

Bellis Australia teams up with several international industry leaders to bring a comprehensive range of fireproof insulation materials in the Australian building and construction industry. Bellow is a list of some of the fireproofing products they offer:

Pyrogel XTF

Pyrogel® XTF is specially formulated to protect against fire in high-temperature situations. It is considered as one of the most effective aerogel insulation blankets in the Aspen Aerogels' product lineup.

Pyrogel® XTF displays the maximum temperature of 1202°F (650°C). The soft and flexible aerogel insulation blanket has a superb spring back to recover thermal performance even after high compression of up to 100 psi (pounds per square inch).

The hydrophobic fireproof insulation materials are breathable, allowing vapour to escape which makes pipeworks and underlying assets stay drier for a longer time. Hence, Pyrogel® XTF's excellent CUI (corrosion under insulation) defence, process stability, and lifespan.

Foamglas

The tightly closed cellular composition of FOAMGLAS® is fabricated with 60% recycled molten glass, carbon, and completely sealed glass cells. This fireproof insulation material is light in weight but offers an outstanding thermal performance suitable for industrial pipe insulation.

Even under thermal cycling, the cellular glass insulation material prevents air and moisture infiltration. In addition to air and moisture, FOAMGLAS® is zero permeable to organic solvents, aggressive chemicals, and vapour. It is also resistant against vermin and termite attacks.

The high R-value of the cellular glass insulation product provides consistent energy efficiency in controlling indoor temperatures for the comfort of the occupants. Given the demanding conditions of industrial pipe insulation, FOAMGLAS® ensures durability in service with strengthened structural integrity that matches the conditions of industrial pipe insulation.

FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation produces high tensile strength which provides facility to high compressive loads without deflection or deformation. The strength and dimensional stability of the fireproof insulation materials are strengthened with excellent resistance accounted by its unique molten glass composition.

The watertight structure shields metal pipeworks from coming in contact with moisture, a precipitating factor to corrosion under insulation (CUI) and premature structural disintegration. FOAMGLAS® also prohibits the breeding of mould and plant growth.

The non-combustible FOAMGLAS® is fully compliant with Australian Standard Test Method (ASTM) E84-16 for surface burning properties of building materials and European Standard EN 13501: A1 for fire classification procedure for all products and building elements.
