Altamira, Mexico boasts the first new LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) terminal to be completed in North America in over twenty years. For this project, Dow Building & Construction supplied over 1.3 million BF (board-feet) or 50-plus truck loads of TRYMER™ 2500 used to insulate the cryogenic piping.
Dow TRYMER™ polyisocyanurate insulation is produced in bunstock and can be fabricated into various shapes and sizes for pipe rounds, vessel walls and head, tank sections, valve and fitting covers, and equipment lagging. It is one of the best pipe insulators available today. TRYMER™ is also more efficient to use on all cold piping because you can specify thinner thicknesses to achieve the same condensation control or heat gain requirement. Thus, TRYMER™ is extremely competitive as an installed below ambient pipe insulation system.
While TRYMER™ is used for cryogenic applications, it is also used on ammonia refrigeration, chilled water, and low pressure steam. (-297F to +300F) Hundreds of commercial applications of TRYMER and Saran vapor retarder film can be seen from the hot, humid environment of Fort Myers, FL to Houston TX; from the cold regions of Bangor, ME to Alaska.
TRYMER™ polyisocyanurate pipe insulation – closed-cell, high-performance insulation with one of the lowest ambient k-factors (Thermal Conductivity Factor) among all pipe insulation products commonly used today. The lower the K-value, the higher the insulating value. Therefore, TRYMER polyisocyanurate, manufactured by The Dow Chemical Company, is extremely energy efficient when used to insulate pipe, tanks, walls, roofs or any other construction segment versus fibrous materials or other foam products.
