The chemical industry is responsible for the safe production of important ingredients for things like medications, detergents, fertilizers, cosmetics, and more. Chemical production requires precise control of temperatures and operating environments that are inhospitable to the growth of fungus and bacteria. Dragon Jacket Insulation is designed for this type of demanding environment and is capable of delivering a reliable static R-value over time.
ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND PIPE AND TANK INSULATION FOR THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
DRAGON JACKET MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY WITH INSULATION SOLUTIONS THAT ARE ENGINEERED TO PROTECT PROCESS PIPING IN DEMANDING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY RELIES ON SIMPLE SAFE, AND EFFECTIVE PRODUCTS BECAUSE, IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS NO MARGIN FOR ERROR.
Fiberglass and cladding insulation break down quickly in demanding operating environments. Standard insulation does NOT provide the 100% waterproof and CUI resistance the chemical industry requires. See below how Dragon Jacket Insulation is better, and it comes with a 5-Year Warranty.

TIME IS MONEY – SO WHEN WE SAY EASY TO INSTALL, WE MEAN IT!
With Dragon Jacket, there is no additional cladding required, so our products install an average of 16-times faster than our competitors. Plus, our insulation is easy to remove and re-installs in minutes using standard tools and onsite personnel. This significantly reduces downtime associated with regular inspections.
- No “tradecraft” training is required for installation.
- No cladding is required. Our 100% water, chemical, and oil-proof polyurea encapsulation is the true “one and done” insulation solution.
- Support is at your fingertips with our series of easy-to-understand online training videos.
- All parts are palletized and coded for easy transfer and fast, accurate placement.
THERMAL STABILITY
98% of insulation failures are moisture-related. That’s why Dragon Jacket pipe and tank insulation products are engineered to keep water out, even if the insulation material is cut and the foam core is exposed. Dragon Jacket’s static R-value maintains the thermal stability for processes operating above and below ambient temperature.
Choose Dragon Jacket Insulation to:
- Mitigate energy loss, lower energy costs, reduce emissions, and reduce loading on process equipment.
- Provide freeze protection for piping and stabilize process controls against temperature fluctuations.
- Minimize safety hazards by reducing fire risk and exposure to hot piping surfaces and uncovered components.

DEPENDING ON COATING
ELIMINATES CUI
Dragon Jacket protects piping and tanks from rust and corrosion better than any other product on the market today. Eliminating insulation-caused CUI helps minimize safety hazards and surprise leaks and spills brought on by hidden pipe corrosion or tank failure – a critical safety concern with pipes carrying hazardous materials.
BUILT-IN PEST CONTROL
The presence of vermin and insects is a health and safety issue with ramifications extending far beyond the immediate facility. Unlike fiberglass, wool or other traditional insulation, Dragon Jacket’s 100% encapsulated system is impenetrable, and the foam core is an inhospitable nesting environment.
