Pozzolan refers to any of several silicate materials that produce cement-like materials when they react with calcium hydroxide. Pozzolans are typically used as a substitute for cement to produce concrete because they reduce the likelihood of corrosion due to sulfate attacks. View Full Term

[GUIDE] Optimal Flange Isolation Kit (FIK) Performance
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a serious and expensive problem for industrial pipes. In the United States alone, CUI costs an estimated $276 billion—possibly more—in direct and indirect costs. The presence of moisture in the industrial environment introduces the threat of CUI; however, there are proactive strategies to defend against it. To function safely and efficiently, industrial pipes require effective insulating systems. Taking steps like choosing compatible accessories and providing an additional layer of moisture protection (essentially creating a sealed system) are ways to prevent the costly and potentially dangerous issue of CUI. Learn more about managing corrosion under insulation and prolonging the longevity of industrial pipe insulating systems in this whitepaper by Owens Corning.
