Shannon\'s new blanket designs which contain Lewco Super Mat , a PTFE-impregnated Type-E needled and felted fiberglass blanket insulation do not require workers to wear a mask while manufacturing or installing the material.

Key Points: 
  • Shannon\'s new blanket designs which contain Lewco Super Mat , a PTFE-impregnated Type-E needled and felted fiberglass blanket insulation do not require workers to wear a mask while manufacturing or installing the material.
  • Hydrophobic insulation reduces the risk of CUI by significantly reducing or eliminating the steel substrate\'s duration of wetness caused by water-soaked insulation.
  • "\n"Since the 1970s, blanket manufacturers have used E-glass insulation mat because of its quality and safety; it doesn\'t require respiratory masks and body protection to avoid unwanted exposure," said Frank Kovacs, president and CEO of Shannon.
  • "\nSince 1988, Shannon has engineered and manufactured insulation solutions for energy conservation, thermal efficiency, noise reduction and safety.
