Foamed glass or cellular glass is an inorganic substance which has gained wide acceptance as an insulation material in the petrochemical and chemical processing industries. Foamed glass is non-combustible, water and water vapour proof, inert and can be easily cut or shaped to fit any processing plant or pipework. It has been recognised as a unique insulation n aterial for cryogenic use and is now gaining acceptance for high temperature and dual temperature conditions. The physical properties of this unique insulation do not deteriorate with time and meet all criteria for off shore application.
