Any Experience with Venture Clad Insulation Jacketing/Weather Proofing?

  • 1.  Any Experience with Venture Clad Insulation Jacketing/Weather Proofing?

    Posted 07-11-2022 03:09 PM
    Ladies/Gentlemen,

    Being a CUI/CUF prevention champion and long-time combatant of CUI/CIU, and advocate for holistic Fabric Maintenance Programs/Methodology, I am always on the lookout for posts/threads and articles on insulation, external coatings and CUI/CUF prevention.   Spotted this post last week and thought our TCI members might be able to help the person that posted this request.

    "Would any Owners, Users, and contractors who have used 3M VentureClad on flexible and lightweight insulation like Aerogel or Pyrogel applied on Reactors, columns, drums, tanks, and other equipment, care to share their experience?

    I would appreciate hearing the advantages and disadvantages of using this 3M VentureClad jacketing. Does it have the strength to resist tearing as the vessel expands and grows? Can it withstand strong wind gusts?"
