Cryogenic spill protection

Introduction to cryogenic spill protection

Armacell AIS ContraFlex® cryogenic spill protection blankets or covers have been specifically designed and tested to protect assets where there is a risk of cryogenic exposure in operating temperatures between -36 ̊C and +260 ̊C. Where insulation is required to protect against cryogenic jet release, ContraFlex® CSP/PFP (passive fire protection) blankets provide a removable solution to piping, flanges, and valves with minimal steel temperature drop during 60-minute cryogenic exposure at -196°C and can withstand up to 120-minutes jet fire.
