The Dragon Jacket Difference – Insulation That’s Made to Be Removed and Reinstalled Over and Over Again
Industrial insulation plays a crucial role in both operational efficiency and safety. It protects workers from hot pipes, it keeps ingredients and chemicals at desired temperature ranges, and it can help reduce energy costs. But these benefits often come at a high price, because so many of today’s insulation options have a critical flaw – they are one-off solutions that require frequent replacement.
When insulation needs to be replaced due to damage or removal for inspection, the associated costs quickly add up.
Costs Associated with Insulation Replacement Include:
- Insulation Product Costs
- Installation Labor Costs
- Insulation Clean Up, Transport, and Disposal Fees
- Carbon Footprint Impact
- Industrial Waste/Landfill Impact
When additional insulation-related problems, like corrosion under insulation, are factored into the equation, these costs can skyrocket into the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the facility. Costs can become so exorbitant, in fact, that some operators choose to forgo the benefits of insulation altogether and take their chances with bare pipes. This is why reusable insulation is such a game-changer.

REUSABLE INSULATION
SOME OF THE INDUSTRIES THAT BENEFIT:
Dragon Jacket Reusable Insulation – Real World Applications
Dragon Jacket Insulation is changing the insulation industry for the better with reusable pipeline and tank insulation for industrial applications. From bridges to oil fields, companies are relying on Dragon Jacket to protect their pipes and improve operational efficiency without the headache, hassle and costs associated with single-use insulation.
In the Elements
Dragon Jacket protects oil pipeline in the harsh winters of North Dakota. Six years and still going strong.
In the Factory
PepsiCo. relies on Dragon Jacket Insulation to keep their Sabra Humus garlic line at temp. Four years and still going strong despite rigorous sanitation protocols.
In the Field
Dragon Jacket insulation protects the water main pipeline spanning the Kellogg bridge in Kellogg, Idaho from freezing, animals, and road vibration. Three years and still going strong.
In the Facility
Pipeline at the Hanford Nuclear Facility in Kennewick, Washington, is protected from freezing and foot traffic by Dragon Jacket Insulation. Three years and still going strong.
Before Dragon Jacket, the pipeline at each of these sites required insulation replacement every one to three years, which represents hundreds of thousands of dollars in removal, disposal, repurchase, and reinstallation. Thanks to Dragon Jacket, these costs have been eliminated. And the Dragon Jacket insulation installed at these sites have years and years of reliable protection ahead.
