Naval Marine Applications

Navies around the world have chosen SOLIMIDE foam as thermal and acoustic insulation for their vessels and saved literally tons of topside weight by replacing heavier fibrous glass insulation with SOLIMIDE foam. The lightweight, inherently fire-resistant foam can be fabricated into multiple marine market products in sheet form or cut into a variety of shapes or sizes, then faced or coated to meet end-user requirements. 

SOLIMIDE Thermal Laminate:  
Glass cloth laminated to SOLIMIDE thermal insulation foam.
Lightweight replacement for MIL-I-742 thermal hullboard insulation.  
Weight of SOLIMIDE Thermal Laminate: Nominal 0.15 lbs/ft2 (0.73 kg/m2) at 1" (25 mm) thickness.

SOLIMIDE Acoustic Laminate:  
Glass cloth laminated to SOLIMIDE acoustical insulation foam.
Lightweight replacement for MIL-A-23054 acoustical hullboard insulation.
Weight of SOLIMIDE Acoustic Laminate: Nominal 0.14 lbs/ft2 (0.68 kg/m2) at 1" (25 mm) thickness.
 
Noise Transmission Loss Blanket
Glass cloth laminated to SOLIMIDE acoustical insulation foam. Lightweight blankets available using various septums in a wide variety of configurations.

Acoustical Ceiling Panels
Attractive lightweight (0.32 lbs/ft2 or 1.56 kg/m2) ceiling panel, designed to fit standard 2'x2' or 2'x4' T-bar grid system. Provides excellent acoustics along with fire-safety, durability, and easy ceiling access.

Duct Liner
SOLIMIDE foam with a smooth surface can readily be inserted into ducts for internal thermal/acoustical treatment. This provides an insulating system that is light, effective, resistant to open flame and does not require a protective or vapor barrier covering.
 
Pipe Covering

SOLIMIDE foam shaped for easy installation as pipe covering. Reinforced aluminized polyester/aluminum foil vapor barrier and/or ceramic glass cloths are easily laminated to SOLIMIDE foam.
 
Duct Wrap
SOLIMIDE foam faced with reinforced aluminized polyester/aluminum foil vapor barrier or with glass cloth laminated to reinforced aluminized polyester/aluminum foil vapor barrier for use as lightweight, fire resistant, duct wrap.
