Providing quality insulation and expertise across multiple industries since 1979.
Features and Benefits of SMC AU-1200
SMC Industries produces expanded perlite reinforced block and pipe covering that is designed to meet your project specifications. See below why our long-standing customers trust SMC's line of thermal insulation products.
Reinforced for Durability
Novel formulation paired with patented reinforcement yields the strongest and most durable perlite silicate product on the market.
Ease of Installation
AU-1200 is a preformed rigid insulation that is quickly and easily installed out of the box, reducing overall installed cost.
Proven Defense Against CUI
Hydrophobic, non-wicking, and with leachable silicates proven to inhibit corrosion on the outer surfaces of piping and equipment.
Strict Quality Control
SMC Industries manufacturing processes ensures the highest quality products are shipped meeting or exceeding ASTM C610 standards.
Multi-Layer Applications
Multi-layer applications are designed to be easily nested without modification during installation for maximum thermal efficiency.
Our Markets and Applications
SMC Industries has worked in a multitude of sectors specifying and supporting projects using our patented AU-1200 reinforced perlite pipe covering. Find your industry below to see how we can benefit you and your facility.
Oil & Gas and Petrochemical
Oil refineries and petrochemical processing plants trust SMC for their piping and fitting covers that reduce the risk of corrosion under insulation while maximizing energy efficiency.
LNG Processing and Production
LNG plants are commonly found in high-moisture geographic locations conducive to corrosion. Our hydrophobic insulation materials serve as a long-term solution within these facilities.
Offshore Production
With a limited footprint, offshore platforms contain a large number of pipe fittings. Also located in harsh environments, this industry requires moisture-resistant, custom-fit thermal insulation.
Power Generation
Power generation facilities serve as a vital part of an infrastructure. Implementing SMC's patented fitting and piping covers can prevent future unit outages due to hidden maintenance and reliability issues.
Pulp and Paper Mills
Pulp and paper mills can be found in regions with high humidity and operate at process temperatures susceptible to corrosion under insulation (CUI). SMC's perlite and hydrophobic blankets come with a fast ROI.
