Insulation Jackets Manufacturers in UAE
Insulation Jackets Manufacturers in UAE: Versatile, Durable, and Smart Solutions for Every Space
What are removable insulation jackets?
Removable insulation jackets — also called insulation blankets or reusable insulation covers — are flexible, prefabricated thermal insulation systems designed for equipment that requires periodic inspection, maintenance, or calibration access: valves, flanges, expansion joints, strainers, pumps, and turbines. Unlike fixed insulation, removable jackets can be detached and reinstalled in minutes without damaging the insulation system, reducing maintenance downtime and heat loss during shutdowns. In UAE industrial and oil and gas projects, insulation jackets are manufactured to client-specific dimensions in materials including silica cloth, fibreglass, and high-temperature mineral wool, with stainless steel fasteners rated for operating temperatures from −50°C to +650°C.

Removable Insulation Jackets: Typical Construction
Jackets let valves, flanges and equipment be insulated and still reopened for maintenance.
| Component | Typical specification |
|---|---|
| Outer fabric | PTFE-coated glass fibre or silicone-coated glass cloth (weather and chemical resistant) |
| Insulation core | Glass fibre, mineral wool or silica aerogel blanket |
| Inner fabric | High-temperature glass or silica cloth |
| Service temperature | about −50°C to +260°C for PTFE-coated jackets; higher with silica fabrics (up to about 650°C) |
| Fastening | Stainless steel lacing wire, hooks or straps |
| Typical applications | Valves, flanges, strainers, steam traps, turbines, expansion joints |
Indicative values based on manufacturers’ published data and standard industry practice. The final specification depends on the process temperature, operating environment and project requirements.

FAQs: Removable Insulation Jackets in UAE — Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about removable insulation jackets, blankets and reusable insulation covers
Removable insulation jackets — also called insulation blankets or reusable insulation covers — are flexible, prefabricated thermal insulation systems designed for equipment that requires periodic inspection, maintenance, or calibration access: valves, flanges, expansion joints, strainers, pumps, and turbines. Unlike fixed insulation, removable jackets can be detached and reinstalled in minutes without damaging the insulation system, reducing maintenance downtime and heat loss during shutdowns.
Novoclad manufactures removable insulation jackets using high-temperature fill materials including mineral wool, ceramic fibre, and silica blanket — selected based on operating temperature and service conditions. The outer facing is typically wired glass cloth (WGC), stainless steel mesh (SS304 or SS316), or aluminised fibreglass, providing durability and fire resistance. All fastening systems use stainless steel lacing wire, Velcro, or buckle straps for quick and repeated removal and reinstallation.
Novoclad's removable insulation jackets cover an operating temperature range from −50°C (cold service jackets for cryogenic valves and LNG systems) to +650°C (high-temperature ceramic fibre jackets for turbines, furnace valves, and exhaust systems). Standard mineral wool jackets cover −10°C to +450°C, suitable for the majority of oil and gas and industrial process applications in the UAE.
Uninsulated valves and flanges are among the largest sources of thermal energy loss in industrial facilities. A single uninsulated DN100 steam valve operating at 200°C can lose heat equivalent to 500–1,000 AED per year in wasted energy. Across a large plant with hundreds of valves, flanges, and fittings, removable insulation jackets can reduce overall heat loss by 20–40%, delivering payback periods typically under 12 months in UAE industrial applications.
Yes. Removable insulation jackets are one of the most effective solutions for personnel protection insulation (PPI) on valves, flanges, pumps, and irregular equipment where fixed insulation cannot be applied. They reduce outer surface temperatures to below 60°C — the safe contact threshold per EN ISO 13732-1 and ADNOC HSE requirements — while allowing maintenance access without permanent jacket damage, making them the preferred PPI solution for frequently maintained equipment in UAE oil and gas, power, and industrial facilities.
Yes. Novoclad Insulation Contracting LLC is an ADNOC-registered vendor and CICPA-approved contractor, supplying and installing removable insulation jackets on onshore refineries, offshore platforms, and process plants across the UAE. All jackets are fabricated to ADNOC specifications and can be supplied in SS316 mesh facing for corrosive offshore environments.
