Dyplast Products Redesigned Web-Site v.1

Dyplast Products, LLC  announces today that we have re-designed the Dyplast web-site, www.dyplast.com. The redesigned web-site has a cleaner design with stream lined navigation and readability. It can be viewed on desktops, laptops, as well as being mobile friendly.

The web-site still includes all the previous technical information about our family of products including our polyisocyanurate foams: ISO-C1®, ISO-HT®, and Dyplast® EPS.  The new information includes ISO-C1® 2.5# cryogenic test results meeting the international standard CINI-2013. Dyplast continually update the web-site

In addition to all our technical data, Technical Bulletins, Qwik Guides, and application information, Dyplast has added new sections with our published articles and blogs along with a revised Career page. The web-site features a link to our new Foam Cores web-site with specific information on our ISO-CF®.

Dyplast continues to provide "leading technology for low temperature insulation application and core foams".

Dyplast invites you the fabricator, installer, contractor, engineer, estimator, or end user to study the new Dyplast web-site whether you are a frequent user or a first-time user looking to increase your knowledge of insulation.

Technical Bulletin 0116 Insulation Performance at Cryogenic Temperatures

Dyplast's latest Technical Bulletin offers insight into insulation performance at cryogenic temperatures. Since insulation performance in cryogenic applications, although not theoretical physics, is indeed a complex subject, the approach in this article is somewhat along the lines of gedankenexperiment. In other words, the objective is to logically examine the complex issues that surround  insulant performance at cryogenic temperatures - - a different approach than simply examining and comparing numbers advertised in datasheets, particularly those measured under ambient conditions with the hope or trust that they accurately represent insulant performance at -265ºF (-165ºC).

The above chart suggests that polyiso and aerogel insulants achieve materially better k-factors than either cellular glass or elastomeric insulants. So why not logically exclude the latter from future projects, especially since earlier paragraphs in this article offered that thermal insulation's ultimate objective is to "insulate". Wouldn't logical thinking conclude that thermal conductivity "k-factor" is the paramount indicator.

Get ready for a somewhat mind-bending ride if you desire to better parse the world of cryogenic insulation. As Elon Musk (re: Tesla, SolarCity, and Space-X) is fond of saying, if your brain does not hurt at the end of every day, you're not doing your job!

Technical Bulletin 1215 Comparisons Between Aerogel and Polyiso in Low Temperature Mechanical Insulation

 Dyplast's latest Technical Bulletin 1215 offers a comparison between Aerogel and Polyiso in low temperature mechanical insulation. The purpose of this Technical Bulletin is two-fold: 1) to examine aerogel insulation (specifically Aspen Aerogels® Cryogel®Z) in some detail, and 2) to compare Cryogel Z with polyisocyanurate insulation (specifically Dyplast's ISO-C1®/2.5).

So! Is Cryogel Z a revolutionary insulant that will eventually dominate "cold" mechanical insulation applications? Or at the other extreme does Cryogel Z have fatal flaws? If the product is still evolving, is it ready for prime-time? The viewpoints of self-described "informed" stakeholders continue to be radically different; and internet research uncovers conflicting opinions regarding performance.  This Technical Bulletin may sway opinions one way or the other, yet at a minimum it is intended to assist stakeholders as they select the optimal insulant, and engineers as they design the optimal insulation system

Dyplast Safety Week 2015

 

In June Dyplast celebrated its 1^st Annual Safety Week. CEO Ted Berglund kicked off the event with a keynote speech promoting safety awareness.  Special recognition for employees’ safety conscious contributions were awarded throughout the week and the week-long activities included mock safety inspections to raise employees’ level of consciousness on safety related matters.  Overall Dyplast staff did a fantastic job communicating its safety messages in a fun, educational, and interactive way!

 

Dyplast has received recognition for its safety practices by industry associations over the last three years bringing home a silver award and two platinum awards from the National Insulation Association (NIA).  Notice of our most recent safety accolade was brought to our attention during our safety week, June 22-26, when Dyplast learned that the Midwest Insulation Contractors Association (MICA) recognized our safety efforts at their tenth annual “Best Practices in Safety” award ceremony held at its 58^th Annual Spring Convention in Sheboygan, WI during the same week Dyplast was observing its Safety Week in Miami.

 

“I was proud and honored to receive this award on behalf of our company. Obviously congratulations goes out to everyone in Miami but a special thanks must go to Ramon and his safety committee team members.”

Claude Hartdegen, Dyplast Senior Account Manager, Sales

Dyplast Products attending NIA's 60th Annual Convention in 7 DAYS!

Dyplast Products invites you to join us in the beautiful Texas Hill Country to celebrate

the National Insulation Associations 60th Annual Convention, March 25-28 2015!

NIA has secured industry experts to address issues affecting our members and industry, including how to build, train, and retain a workforce in the face of historic retirement numbers and fewer young people choosing careers in construction. This year, NIA will have a special event to honor NIA's Past Presidents, all of whom have directly contributed to the success and vision of our association.

 

 

NIA will again recognize the winners of the 2014 Theodore H. Brodie Distinguished Safety Award. Dyplast submitted an application for the 2014 Associates (Manufacturers) category. Dyplast was the recipient of the Silver award in 2012, and the Platinum award in 2013.

 

 

In addition, the Valero Texas Open–one of the PGA TOUR'S most popular golf events–will be held onsite at the hotel's golf course during the Convention. Guests will enjoy complimentary admission to the Valero Texas Open during their stay at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa.

Dyplast exhibiting at SWICA EXPO 2015      

SWICAs EXPO 2015 has expanded and Dyplast will be exhibiting as one of 55 other companies with a table top display featuring Dyplast’s ISO-C1® family of products in the exhibit hall. SWICA Ninth Industrial Insulation Craft Competition will also be held at the EXPO and will have two insulators per model and have refined the removable blanket competition with single or dual optional competitors and added a commercial competition. This is an expensive and timely event that the Craft Education Committee has spent endless hours preparing exams, building models and setting standards long before the actual execution of such an event. The Expo and competition turns out virtually everyone in the industrial insulation industry. This is an opportunity to show support and help the Education Committee set new education and safety standards for our industry.

We look forward to seeing you in this one-day educational and information packed exposition, white papers and craft competitions.

11:00 AM –  6:00 PM Tuesday, February 3, 2015

Be sure to drop by our booth #38 in the exhibit hall and discuss our product range with our staff!

 

 

 

 

TECHNICAL BULLETIN 0714 Elastomeric Insulation versus Polyisocyanurate in Low Temperature Applications

    

 

 

 

Technical Bulletin 0714

Elastomeric Insulation versus

Polyisocyanurate in

Low Temperature Applications

PURPOSE

Several of Dyplast’s prior Technical Bulletins have provided in-depth comparisons of various insulants, including polyisocyanurate (polyiso or PIR), polyurethane (PUR), phenolic, polystyrene (expanded EPS and extruded XPS), cellular glass, and fiberglass - - as well as less-than-comprehensive comparisons with elastomeric and aerogel. Now with somewhat more information becoming available from elastomeric manufacturers and the aggressive marketing from elastomeric suppliers for colder applications it is appropriate to dedicate a Technical Bulletin to elastomeric insulants as compared to polyisocyanurate - - and to a much lesser extent phenolic, and cellular glass.

QUICK PERSPECTIVES

The most basic perspective is that the overall cost of elastomeric insulation is materially higher than polyisocyanurate, and polyiso also has significantly better thermal insulation properties - - thus raising the question of “why use elastomeric”:
