5 June 2018 is World Environment Day, and while this year’s theme is Beat Plastic Pollution, there are other, critical areas of activity where industries, businesses and organisations can make a difference to the world around us. One of these is industrial insulation.
Industrial insulation is wide-ranging, applied to different sectors in a variety of settings, and here, at Elmelin, we play a key role in supplying high temperature insulation solutions.
These involve mica and mica-based products, and microporous materials and a multi-faceted approach to their application.
Here we look at the general importance of insulation in helping to combat climate change, and how industrial application works in practice in certain key industries.
At the heart of the foundry is the furnace, and furnace safety essentials are at the core of how the foundry industry operates. Furnaces require high temperature insulation to work effectively, efficiently and safely. Foundries involve an inherent degree of risk, because furnace processes involve constant intense temperatures and the movement of molten metal.
Tuesday 1 May is International Workers’ Day, and to mark it, we’re looking at foundries through the ages, their contribution to British manufacturing, and how industrial insulation is helping ensure foundries are fit for the future.
The history of foundries is tied up with the history of human labour, and of finding means to work smarter and better. It is about how we discovered casting as a way of taking elements from nature and bending and shaping them for our use.
28 April 2018 is the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, or SafeDay for short. As specialists in high temperature insulation, health and safety issues are core drivers for what we do.
Specialising in high temperature insulation means we work across a broad range of sectors, providing essential solutions and support to different industries. In fact, the versatility of mica, mica-based products and microporous technology results in so many applications that, for some manufacturers, they may benefit from what we offer without immediately realising the extent.
For example, you will find mica insulation in a great many consumer appliances, where a thermal barrier is an essential component for either heating or electrical purposes.
Elmelin is a London-based company of high temperature insulation specialists with a long history. However, our focus is firmly on the future, and the here and now, because we believe that technological excellence in industrial insulation solutions is an ongoing process.
Who are we? We’re specialist manufacturers and problem-solvers. We’ve changed as our processes have changed, to meet the challenges of a broad client-base. High temperature insulation is essential to so many industries, and our history reflects our shift in specialisation.
By way of an introduction, here’s our history, and what we can offer, including the processes and products we’ve developed over many years.
