FOAMGLAS® HLB 800 Insulation (ASTM)

Description

FOAMGLAS® HLB 800 Insulation is a high-load-bearing cellular glass insulation designed for industrial applications that require consistent thermal efficiency, high compressive strength, and long-term stability. This insulation is ideal for cold and cryogenic tank bases, high-temperature tank supports, and load-bearing pipe supports, providing unmatched moisture resistance and structural integrity.
