Dyplast Exhibiting at CAMX 2018

Join Us at Booth BB51

___________________________________________________________________

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.

Dyplast Receives 2018 Florida Sterling Manufacturing Business Excellence Award

ORLANDO - Dyplast Products received statewide recognition as a  2018 winner of the second annual Florida Sterling Manufacturing Business Excellence Award. The award, recognizing high performing manufacturers in six categories, was announced and presented June 1 at the Governor's Sterling Awards Banquet in Orlando.

The Florida Sterling Council and FloridaMakes collaborated on these statewide awards. Companies were judged on leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, workforce and operations.

Dyplast was selected from among 27 award finalists; 120 manufacturers were nominated. FloridaMakes will feature the finalists in webinars, plant tours and events that share best practices to benefit Florida's manufacturing sector and at the Make More Manufacturing Summit to be held on July 26 in Orlando.

Dyplast releases new Polyiso vs. XPS Technical Bulletin

Dyplast released its latest Technical Bulletin 0418 which is an update to the 0214 Bulletin on Polyiso versus XPS in low temperature pipe insulation applications. Whereas the previous version was focused primarily on examining the cost of insulation systems versus energy savings and long-term performance of polyisocyanurate (polyiso or PIR) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulants in refrigeration and chilled water applications, this more recent Bulletin revision is more-so focused on the misinformation and/or lack of full disclosure so prevalent in the marketplace. Dyplast aggressively advocates for:

• honest presentation of physical properties and pertinent information, yet also
• full-disclosure, complemented with
• third-party verification and audit of physical properties and the quality process.

Polyiso versus XPS

Dyplast Selected as a Top Workplace

We were delighted to receive notification that the Sun Sentinel named Dyplast Products as a South Florida Top Workplace. Dyplast scored very high on the survey for the most-desired qualities and for creating a positive work environment. The South Florida companies chosen for recognition were selected through employee surveys conducted by Workplace Dynamics. The surveys measured such qualities as company leadership, communication, career growth, working environment, managerial skills, pay and benefits.

We are proud of our company's achievements.

Technical Bulletin 0314 - Phenolic vs. Cellular Glass Insulation in Cold Piping Applications

10 March 2014   Technical Bulletin 0314

Phenolic vs. Cellular Glass Insulation in Cold Piping Applications   A short summary is included below. Click here for the complete Technical Bulletin   Phenolic and cellular glass mechanical insulation have each been demonstrated as viable choices for cold applications when 25/50 (per ASTM E84) is required, particularly in chilled water applications. This Technical Bulletin offers an objective comparison - - with the conclusion that when comparing both side by side, the overall advantages clearly belong to phenolic. The new phenolic is not the old phenolic New catalysts with minimum detectable halogens Low water absorption (the difference between 0.9% for phenolic vs. 0.2 for cellular glass is not material) Phenolic with 60% better insulating value 0.18 versus 0.30 at 50°F 2.5 inches versus 4.5 inches thickness in a typical 50°F scenario Phenolic is roughly 67% lower cost per board foot Plus lower fabrication/installation costs #2 and 3 above when taken together puts phenolic capital costs possibly at one-third that cellular glass - - and that's ignoring fabrication and installation Phenolic is one-third the weight of cellular glass 6 times more weight per linear foot in the 2.5 vs 4.5 inch scenario   In summary, both phenolic and cellular glass have been demonstrated as viable choices as insulation for cold applications when 25/50 is required. However, when comparing both side by side, the overall advantages clearly belong to phenolic.   Below is a link to the full Technical Bulletin   TECHNICAL BULLETIN 0314

Dyplast ISO-C1 Racing thru the Desert with the University of Minnesota!

Dyplast ISO-C1 Racing thru the Desert with the University of Minnesota!

  

About a year ago Dyplast donated a large block of ISO-C1/10.0 (10 lb/ft3 polyisocyanurate rigid foam) to the University of Minnesota. UMN had the ISO-C1 block milled and polished to the sleek shape of the car, and then used the rigid shape as the mold for a solar powered car. This car, named Daedalus, is in route to compete in Australia's World Solar Challenge 2013, an international Solar Powered Car race beginning in the northern city of Darwin on 6 October and racing 3,000 - kilometers (1,864 - miles) across the Australian Outback down the center of Australia. Throughout this week long race the team will travel through Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, and Coober Pedy before ending on the 13th in the southern city of Adelaide.

  

  

  

 

 

TECHNICAL BULLETIN 1128 UPDATES

You may recall our recent email newsletter, blog, and LinkedIn/Facebook postings of our Technical Bulletin 1128 “MECHANICAL INSULATION IN TYPICAL REFRIGERATION APPLICATIONS”.

 

Responses to our Bulletin have been very positive, and our friends have made some good suggestions/clarifications that we thought we should consolidate and send along.

Listed below are comments from a few Followers along with our response to each. Thank you to each and every one who responded. Your questions and comments are appreciated.

·         The Bulletin states that EPS and XPS melt at 165°F and that is not technically correct. We should have rather said they begin to “soften” at 165F. Yet we believe the ultimate conclusion remains the same - -  that the maximum service temperature is generally 165°F for both EPS and XPS.

·         The Bulletin’s data on XPS was based on public data then available on the major manufacturer’s website.  We overlooked data from another XPS manufacturer that more recently entered the XPS billet market. This newer manufacturer creates billets by gluing together sheets of XPS.  These billets have a stated Water Absorption (WA) of 1.0% versus the 0.5% presented in the Bulletin, and the actual range for WA can be from 0.3% to 1%.

·         The new manufacturer of XPS also states R value is 5.0, but the manufacturer does not indicate (on information available to us) whether this is an “aged” value or an “initial”.  The 3.9R value stated in the Bulletin is from the supplier of XPS billets that are a continuously extruded material, and the 3.9R is presented as an aged value per ASTM procedures.

·         Based on some test results just received for Phenolic, we should update its WVT to 3.3 perm-in and its WA to 0.9% by volume.  In the Bulletin’s Table 2 (Water Vapor Transmission for Different Insulants) this would place it after expanded polystyrene and above Trymer 2000XP polyisocyanurate when sorted by WVT. Note that the Phenolic properties still meet the ASTM C1126 standards for both WVT and WA. 

Dyplast’s Technical Bulletin has been updated and is available at:  http://www.dyplastproducts.com/Customer_Bulletins/TECHNICAL_BULLETIN_1128.pdf.

As always, Dyplast welcomes comments and suggestions and strives to present accurate information useful to the industry.
