Foam glass
Foam Glass Insulation Material Introduction Foam glass is an advanced inorganic cold insulation material primarily composed of glass mixed with foaming agents. It undergoes high-temperature foaming in a kiln followed by annealing and cooling, resulting in a uniform structure of independent closed cells. Applications Load-bearing cold insulation for large storage tank bottoms Low-temperature frozen pipes and container tanks Offshore oil platforms Heating pipes and equipment
