FOAMGLAS® HLB 1600 insulation (ASTM)

Description

FOAMGLAS® HLB 1600 Insulation is a high-load-bearing cellular glass insulation specifically designed for industrial applications that demand exceptional compressive strength and moisture resistance. Manufactured from inorganic soda-lime glass, this insulation offers long-term dimensional stability and thermal efficiency for applications such as cold and cryogenic tank bases, high-temperature tank supports, and load-bearing pipe supports.
