Cool-Skin Elbows and Tees

In response to a growing demand from our customers, Worbo is excited to announce the release of a new product line of easy to install elbow and tee insulation sleeves for high temperature applications.   Introducing Cool-Skin elbows and tee sleeves by Worbo.

These products offer a fantastic complement to our extremely popular line of Cool-SkinTM sleeves.  They are a perfect solution for insulating hoses and process lines that contain a tight bend radius or for lines that have tee intersections.   Traditionally it has been a challenge for plant engineers and insulation contractors to provide a satisfactory and effective thermal barrier in these areas.  Worbo’s wonderfully simple solution enables our customers to quickly and easily install these removable Cool-SkinTM  insulation components around elbows (from 45’s to 90’s) and at tee junctions.   They offer a very precise fit around a wide variety of diameters to maximize insulation coverage to minimize heat loss and to prevent burn injuries at these tricky locations.

Cool-SkinTM elbows and tees are fabricated from the same tried and tested materials that make up our existing Cool-SkinTM sleeve products.  They are equipped with a durable abrasion resistant jacketing system that encapsulates a clean non-fibrous insulation medium exhibiting an extremely low thermal conductivity to provide a very efficient thermal barrier.  As with many of our Cool-SkinTM products our elbows and tees are supplied with a hook and loop closure for easy installation and removal. 

For applications where radiant heat is a concern our Eko-ThermTM jacketing system may be supplied as an alternative to the standard yellow jacket.  The combination of our shiny aluminized Eko-ThermTM material coupled with our non-fibrous insulation medium offers an effective barrier from conductive heat sources as well as from radiant heat sources.   Up to 90% of radiant heat will be reflected away from the low emissivity and shiny surface of the insulation component.  This doubly effective technology will ensure that the process temperatures can be accurately maintained with a minimal insulation wall thickness.

This new exciting line of products is yet another example of the how the Worbo research and product development team has demonstrated out of the box thinking to create cost effective and innovative thermal protection solutions.
