Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a self-molding composite system for insulation and covering operations. The self-molding composite system may be cured to form any desired shaped for insulation and covering operations. The composite system comprises one or more layers that may create a rigid layered composite when cured. The one or more layers of the composite system may include a base layer that is a braided, knit, or non-woven fiber based substrate, an interstitial matrix layer, and customizable top coat. The customizable top coat may be a solvent based polymer solution that includes various additives that may include color pigments, additives for additional abrasion protection, additives for thermal protection, and/or additives for creating various textures or visible appearances to the composite system.

The self-molding composite system may be cured to form any desired shaped for insulation and covering operations. The composite system comprises one or more layers that may create a rigid layered composite when cured. The one or more layers of the composite system may include at least one structural reinforcement layer that is a braided, knit, or non-woven fiber based substrate, an interstitial matrix layer, and customizable top coat. The customizable top coat may be a solvent based polymer solution that includes various additives that may include color pigments, additives for additional abrasion protection, additives for thermal protection, and/or additives for creating various textures or visible appearances to the composite system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a novel band clamp insulation system for ensuring a tight insulation around a pipe during extended operation of the system and mitigating adverse effects of differential thermal expansion. The band clamp insulation system typically comprises a band clamp for securing insulation around the pipe and a securing member fixed to the pipe. The band clamp insulation system further comprises a coupling member for fastening the band clamp and the coupling member together.

Abstract: A heat curable, circular knitted fabric includes reinforcing and meltable resin fibers that can be cured to form a more rigid material form. In one embodiment, the fabric includes a core spun yarn, wherein the core may be made from glass, carbon, basalt, aramid or metal. The wrap surrounding the core may include resin type fibers such as Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) PPS, Polyetherimide (PEI), Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), Polysulfone (PES), Polyphthalamide (PPA), nylon, polyester, or polypropylene.

Abstract: A breathable, multi-layer exhaust insulation system is provided. The system includes a multi-layer sleeve, wherein the first layer, which is positioned adjacent the exhaust system pipes, is a braided sleeve which may be constructed from high-temperature resistant materials such as e-glass, s-glass, silica or ceramic. Additional braided layers of material may be included, as well. An outside cover of material is preferably a circular knitted fabric that contains glass fibers and resin-based fibers. The knitted fabric forms a tube on the outside of the insulating layers, and may be formed from a core spun yarn, which includes a glass filament core and a high-melt fiber on the wrap. Optionally, the system may also include a perforated or unperforated metal foil layer and/or a tape wrap, and the various components may be configured as desired.

Abstract: A corrugated band clamp is configured to effectively secure a sleeve around a pipe. The corrugated band clamp comprises an elongate member having a first lateral side and an opposing second lateral side. Typically, at least a portion of the length of the elongate member comprises a corrugated portion and at least a portion of the length of the elongate member comprises a non-corrugated portion. The corrugated portion of the elongate member enables the corrugated band clamp to effectively secure sleeves on pipes with non-parallel surfaces. In addition, applications of the corrugated band clamp system, methods of manufacture and methods of use are provided.
