BECX-12™X-170

· Description

BECX-12 is a filter pressed, high-temperature calcium silicate (calsil) pipe and block insulation manufactured by BEC Industrial (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd, imported exclusively by Thermal Pipe Shields Inc. and sold through their nationwide network of distribution partner companies.

Third party verified to meet or exceed all physical property requirements in accordance with ASTM C533 Type I.

Engineered to protect industrial piping and equipment operating continuously at temperatures up to 1200℉ (650℃).

Contains integral inorganic silicate chemistry to inhibit corrosion under insulation (CUI).

· Features

Unlike other wet molded calsil insulations, which can be damaged in transit or during installation, BECX-12 is produced using a more consistent filter pressing process creating a much more physically robust product without adding additional density, changing other physical properties or performance criteria.
In addition, the filter pressing process provides on average twice as much compressive strength vs. the ASTM minimum requirement and is 40% stronger then the incumbent molded calsil produced in the United States.
Produced in 3’ lengths and available in a wide assortment of IPS pipe sizes with configurations designed to maximize shipping container yields.

· Applications

Calsil insulation has a 40+ year history of use for mid-high temperature industrial process piping, storage tanks and equipment. It is the workhorse insulation for oil refineries,power and chemical plants, and pulp and paper mills.
Many engineers and maintenance planners specify calsil insulation in areas of the plant where there is a risk of damage to the metal jacketing due to physical abuse or workers walking or climbing on pipes and equipment.
Due in part, to a historical monopoly of the North American calsil market, there is a perception that calsil insulation will always cost much more than lower compressive strength alternatives such as mineral fiber.
BECX-12 creates organic competition in the calsil market to allow owners to specify and purchase a stronger, readily available material with a cost closer to fibrous insulations.

· Benefits

Highest compressive strength of any industrial insulation supports the metal jacketing and stands up to physical abuse or foot traffic during construction and operations.
Non-combustible insulations may add a measure of passive fire protection when used in conjunction with stainless steel jacketing.(Contact BECX-12 Technical Services)
Integral inorganic silicate chemistry actively inhibits the corrosion mechanism by forming an on demand passivation layer and a pH buffering effect in the presence of absorbed water due to a failure in the weather barrier.

· Safety

BECX-12 does not contain asbestos, mercury or lead.
Calcium silicate is produced with amorphous silica, not crystalline silica which is subject to new OSHA exposure limits.
No formaldehyde binders to oxidize at high temperatures.
Provides consistent thermal performance at high temperatures to protect plant workers from burn injuries.
Non-combustible insulation when tested in accordance with ASTM E136. Calsil withstands direct flame impingement.
0 flame spread and 0 smoke developed per ASTM E84.
Calsil maintains its thickness and insulating performance throughout its long service life to protect plant assets, provide stable process control and prevent burn injuries caused by inadvertent contact with high temperature systems.
