· Thermal/Acoustic Insulation
· removable thermal insulation jacket
Type
Removable Insulation Jacket
Common Failures & Inspection Points
- Jacket fabric degradation from heat
- Fastener corrosion
- Oil contamination reducing insulation value
Service: Removable for maintenance access. Inspect for oil saturation (fire risk). Replace if fabric deteriorated. Keep secure against vibration.
Spare Parts: Ersatzteile über Kaimann oder zugelassene Vertriebspartner. Lead time: 2-6 Wochen.
Strengths
- Quick‑release fastening allows rapid access for inspection or repair
- Provides effective thermal lag for moderate temperature ranges (up to ~150 °C)
- Lightweight fabric reduces overall weight compared with rigid lagging
- Can be fitted on irregular shapes and tight spaces
Weaknesses
- Fabric may degrade when exposed to prolonged high heat or flame
- Fasteners are prone to corrosion in salty, humid environments if not stainless steel
- Oil or fuel contamination can soak the fabric, lowering its insulating value and creating fire hazard
- Limited suitability for very high‑temperature services (>150 °C) or continuous steam
Typical Vessels:
Tanker (crude oil, product)Chemical tankerLNG carrierOffshore supply vesselContainer ship (engine room & HVAC lines)
Decision Guide: Choose if you need a removable insulation solution for pipework that must be accessed frequently and the operating temperature stays within the jacket’s rating. Avoid if the service involves sustained high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, or environments where oil contamination is likely without proper protective measures.
Use Cases: Commonly installed on cargo‑tank vent lines, seawater cooling circuits, fuel oil transfer pipes, HVAC ducts and auxiliary machinery piping where periodic inspection or cleaning is required.

Marine Removable Blanket
Various sizes, up to 900°C
· Thermal/Acoustic Insulation
· Removable thermal insulation blanket
Type
Removable Insulation Blanket
Common Failures & Inspection Points
- Stainless wire tie corrosion
- Inner liner tear
- Insulation settling/thinning over time
Service: Reduces ER ambient temperature significantly. Inspect at each overhaul. Replace damaged blankets promptly (burn hazard + heat loss).
Spare Parts: Ersatzteile über Thermaxx oder zugelassene Vertriebspartner. Lead time: 2-6 Wochen.
Strengths
- High temperature resistance reduces heat loss and fuel consumption
- Easy to install and remove, facilitating routine inspections and repairs
- Lightweight flexible fabric conforms to irregular shapes
- Outer cover typically UV‑resistant and marine‑grade for durability
Weaknesses
- Stainless steel wire ties can corrode in salty environments
- Inner liner may tear after repeated handling or exposure to chemicals
- Insulation material can settle or thin over time, reducing effectiveness
- Requires regular inspection at each overhaul; replacement adds cost

Decision Guide: Choose if: you need a high‑temperature, easily removable insulation solution for pipework or equipment that must be accessed frequently during maintenance. Avoid if: the vessel operates in extremely corrosive environments where wire‑tie corrosion is unacceptable, or if long‑term static insulation without removal is preferred.
Use Cases: Commonly deployed on heated cargo lines, fuel oil transfer systems, steam and hot water pipelines, and insulated valve assemblies where periodic inspection or cleaning is required. Also used on deck machinery enclosures to protect against heat loss and condensation.
