  • Performance Evaluation of Exhaust Insulation - how do different insulation products stack up against one-another
    Four different types of insulation products

    We would like to share with you an independent study presented by one of our customers during a recent mining symposium held in Toronto. The study, by Catalytic Exhaust Products, compares 4 different types of Firwin insulation products in the following areas: thermal insulation performance, heat transfer, insulation surface temperatures and rock impact damage to the surface of insulation.


    Firwin jumps into Social Media
    Facebook

    More and more people are using 'social media' to communicate, not just in their personal lives, but also for business. As such, Firwin Corp has taken its first steps into the world of 'web 2.0', with the launching of our Facebook account.


    Product Spotlight - Spray Shields
    Spray Shield

    Flanges and Valves, while frequently wrapped because of heat-related issues such as heat containment and personnel safety against burns, have a separate concern - the possiblity of corrosive chemicals or highly pressurized liquid being released as the result of a leak. Firwin's Spray Shields offers industrial users some unique features to help guard against such mishaps.

    Welcome to the Winter 2009 issue of Firwin's industry newsletter, Insulation Insights. In this issue, we share with you a study done by one of our customers, on the performance of various insulation products that Firwin offers. In our product spotlight, an overview of our Spray Shields that are helping companies in industrial settings guard against leaky valves and flanges. Plus, a look at our first steps into the world of "social marketing", and a video that was shot at last year's Minexpo, that we have made available to the public.
