Dyplast Exhibiting at IIAR Conference

Dyplast Products, LLC will be attending and exhibiting at the 2019 IIAR Natural Refrigeration Conference and Expo scheduled March 3-6, 2019 at Sheraton Grand Phoenix Hotel in Arizona. IIAR is the world's leading advocate for the safe, reliable and efficient use of ammonia and other natural refrigerants.  

Dyplast’s exhibits at the IIAR Expo have always been of high interest to attendees since our ISO-C1^® family of polyisocyanurate insulation is an integral part of the design and successful operation of refrigeration systems. ISO-C1 has had broad success over many decades as a proven, cost-effective insulation technology in low temperature mechanical and pipe applications.

We invite all attendees - - especially engineers, designers, and owners to stop by our exhibit, meet Dyplast’s staff, and discuss first-hand the economic value that ISO-C1 imparts to their operations. Our exhibit will offer more information on the full product range of polyisocyanurate insulation system products.

Come visit Dyplast at Booth #906 where our industry experts will be ready to answer your questions - - especially how we rank versus other insulations. And call us beforehand if there is a particular issue to discuss or a time constraint we can accommodate.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Dyplast Staff participates as Examiners for the 2019 Sterling Manufacturing Business Excellence (SMBE) Statewide Award.

Dyplast is excited about the upcoming CAMX Conference (Composites and Advanced Materials Expo) in Dallas where we will be exhibiting October 16-18. Our polyisocyanurate and polystyrene composite rigid foams are increasingly recognized as superior to alternative composite substrates such as balsa and honeycomb designs - - and lower cost in many cases. Dyplast’s high capacity production and quick turn-around on high-strength light-weight rigid foam sheets can add significant value to demanding composite applications - - including those with large dimensions and precision tolerances. To showcase our ability to customize rigid foams for unique projects we will be displaying a Texas Long Horn, the State of Texas, an Oil pump, and a bucking bronco. We’ll have a drawing at the end of the auction for companies interested in displaying these items in their offices.

We invite you to visit Dyplast’s booth and speak with our experts in composite applications.

Re-Launch: Dyplast CEO pens "Open Letter to the Mechanical Insulation Industry"

Dyplast sent out a media announcement yesterday and a minor “units error” in our attachment was identified by our friends. Dyplast herein restates its message (now with an updated attachment)  that Recently Dyplast was made aware of several marketing documents from Pittsburgh Corning comparing FOAMGLAS® to PIR/PUR systems. These include "Truth in Performance", "Polyisocyanurate Foam versus FOAMGLAS Insulation", and "FOAMGLAS Response to Dyplast Customer Bulletin dated 6/2010". These marketing pieces are misleading and contain numerous false statements. While Dyplast will not waste your time going through every misrepresentation, this letter will address key areas in order to let you decide if there is any reason to give credit to the Pittsburgh Corning claims. Additionally, Dyplast will outline key facts about Dyplast ISO-C1® products because real data and actual infield performance are a better basis to evaluate products.

Dyplast Reopens after Hurricane Irma

Dyplast and our employees very much appreciate the thoughts and prayers so many of you offered to us and indeed all in the path of Hurricane IRMA. All of our personnel are safe although a number still do not have electricity and water.

 

The Miami plant sustained minimal damage, and we appreciated the efforts that our staff made to be at the plant this morning. They came in spite of personal hardships.

 

Dyplast anticipates being operational on or before Friday September 15, 2017. We still have spotty telephone service at the site.

 

We further anticipate that we will be back to normal operations next week fulfilling all orders. If you had already placed orders before Dyplast suspended operations these shipments will have priority.

 

Thank you for your patience. Please contact your Account Manager if you cannot get through to Customer Service, and you can always contact me directly via my cell.

Dyplast new Article, “Commercial Quality Control: The Missing Link”, in LNG Industry Magazine

Dyplast Products has published its latest article in LNG Magazine titled “Commercial Quality Control: The Missing Link”. In an era with disparate pricing, a multiplicity of owners/stakeholders, long-term price volatility, multiple concurrent plant constructions, a shortage of skilled personnel, and increasingly complex technologies, owners/stakeholders in LNG projects increasingly face new risks.

This article introduces commercial quality control as an approach to move more impact factors to the controllable side of the ledger, and also as a way of better identifying and mitigating risks across the project lifecycle – beginning at project inception, but encompassing development, financing, construction and operations.

Ted TALK #3: “Due Diligence!”

Ted TALK: “Due Diligence!”

Dyplast’s ongoing survey of below-ambient insulation applications indicates that over 65% of projects fail to exercise reasonable due diligence that would have otherwise resulted in lower capital costs while achieving higher thermal efficiencies.

I’ve spoken on this before, particularly at Conferences, on Panels, and within Industry Magazines. Due diligence expresses the care that a reasonable person exercises to research, analyze, and prepare for a transaction, process, or strategy. 

My many esteemed colleagues will echo my personal astonishment regarding how many insulants are selected without the supplier even demonstrating compliance with applicable Codes and Standards such as ASTM, CINI, etc. - - measured by an independent third party - - not by an in-house lab, and not a product formulation different from the product delivered. And since insulants are meant to insulate over the long term, due diligence is also intended to ensure the life-cycle balance of cost versus performance is achieved.

It is increasingly incumbent on engineers, specifiers, asset owners, and stakeholders to be diligent regarding the facts, the relevance of the facts, and full disclosure of facts. A life-cycle costing of the insulation system is also warranted in the majority of applications.

Respectfully

Ted Berglund

President
