Pyrogel™ XTE

Pyrogel XTE is a heat insulation Aerogel blanket that is made by impregnating silica Aerogel into glass fiber cloth.
Silica Aerogel is known as a material with the lowest thermal conductivity of any solid. It has features such as excellent thermal insulation properties, water repellency, flexibility, environmental safety, and ease of handling, and can achieve excellent heat insulation performance. Pyrogel XTE is an ideal heat insulation material for retaining heat in high-temperature pipes, equipment, and tanks, and is essential for pursuing the best possible thermal efficiency.

FOAMNERT™ BOARD

TOMBO™ No. 5000-TN

FOAMNERT TN is a rigid urethane foam thermal insulation material made of closed-cell foam. It is a carbon dioxide foam-based cryogenic insulation material that does not contain any chlorofluorocarbon foaming agents such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Molded products include covers and boards. Nichias’ covers are JIS-certified products (certification number GB0309002).
It can be used within the temperature range of -196°C to +100°C. It can be widely used as a thermal insulation material for LNG and LPG bases, ships, petrochemical plants, and district heating and cooling.
Note: +40°C or less is recommended for the internal temperature when using continuously.

NA BELLOW-Q™

TOMBO™ No. 9999-NA

NA BELLOW-Q is a non-metallic flexible expansion joint that combines inorganic fiber cloth and PTFE and is used for various pipes and smoke airways such as ducts. It absorbs expansion and contraction, deformation, and movement from the heat swelling, vibrations, and pressure of large-diameter ducts and pipes.

Energy saving diagnostic system

Energy saving diagnosis makes heat energy visible and proposes energy saving measures. From thermography visuals, Nichias calculates wasted energy and suggests the best possible energy-saving measures.

Aerogel Insulation Over-Wrapping Method

Aerogel heat-insulation material Pyrogel™ XTE is a thermal insulation material with low thermal conductivity and excellent water repellency and flexibility. Nichias has developed an innovative construction method that takes advantage of its excellent performance to contribute to the conservation of Planet Earth.

FOAMNERT™ SUPPORT

TOMBO™ No. 5010

TOMBO No.5010 FOAMNERT SUPPORT is a low-temperature pipe support with excellent thermal insulation and mechanical strength developed from Nichias’ testing of urethane foam technologies and cryogenic installation technologies as a manufacturer of thermal and cryogenic insulation materials.
FOAMNERT SUPPORT has a base of high-density urethane foam, and so in addition to its strength as a structural material, it has outstanding thermal insulation and weather resistance.

Cryogenic insulation material (urethane-based)

In terms of clean energy, Nichias is engaged in a large amount of cold insulation work from liquefaction facilities to transportation, receiving, and storage facilities as a cold insulation work pioneer in the fields of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that are growing in demand. FOAMNERT TN is a pioneering cryogenic insulation material made of rigid carbonated urethane foam that uses no Freon blowing agents. As a cryogenic insulation material with little burden on the environment and maintains the thermal insulation performance of products to date, it continues to win the hearts of more and more customers.
Nichias strives to extend the lifespan of facilities with its efforts to diagnose the thermal insulation performance of cryogenic insulation materials and renovation efforts for cryogenic insulation materials to recover the thermal insulation performance without shutting down the facility.

Electric heater tracing work

Food, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical plants require precise temperature control of internal fluids, which are the raw materials.
Electric heater tracing is an electric control system that uses self-regulating and mineral-insulated (MI) heater cables. It can be made to match the insulation design and installation and keep the temperature of the corresponding equipment to a predetermined temperature. Furthermore, compared to conventional warm water and steam heating, it is able to maintain the temperature with a simple operation and does not require arduous maintenance.
