Industrial Thermal Insulation
Spray-On Industrial Insulation. No Jacketing. Prevents CUI.
Cool Touch is an ICP-engineered thermal insulating coating that replaces traditional fiberglass-and-jacketing systems on pipes, vessels, and equipment operating up to 350°F at recommended film thickness — helping prevent corrosion under insulation (CUI) at the source.
- Rated up to 350°F at recommended multi-coat film build
- NACE TM21423 and ASTM compliant
- Helps prevent corrosion under insulation (CUI)
- No metal jacketing — spray-on application
- Tested per NACE TM21423 for personnel protection

Traditional Insulation Is a Ticking Clock for Corrosion
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is the number one cause of unplanned shutdowns in refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities. The mechanism is simple: moisture infiltrates traditional insulation systems, gets trapped between the jacketing and the pipe, and accelerates corrosion in a hidden environment that is impossible to inspect without removal.
The industry has spent billions on CUI — inspection programs, jacketing repairs, insulation replacements, and catastrophic failure remediation. Yet the root cause remains: any insulation system that traps moisture against a hot metal surface will eventually produce CUI.
Cool Touch helps prevent CUI by eliminating the moisture trap. As a monolithic coating applied directly to the substrate, there is no gap for water to enter, no jacketing to seal, and no hidden corrosion to find during turnarounds.
How Cool Touch Replaces Traditional Insulation
ICP thermal management technology that insulates without trapping moisture.
350°F at Recommended Film Build
Engineered for pipes, vessels, tanks, and equipment operating up to 350°F at recommended film thickness. Cool Touch maintains its insulative properties across the full temperature range.
CUI Prevention
No jacketing means no moisture trap. Cool Touch is a monolithic barrier that helps prevent the root cause of corrosion under insulation.
Personnel Safety
Cool Touch reduces surface temperatures to touch-safe levels, protecting maintenance personnel from contact burns on hot pipes and equipment without bulky insulation systems.
Rapid Application
Spray applied with no special equipment. No sheet metal, no banding, no caulking. Simplifies installation compared to traditional insulation systems.

Application Process
Substrate Assessment
Our engineers evaluate your pipes, vessels, or equipment — including operating temperatures, environment, and existing insulation condition.
Surface Preparation
Existing insulation and jacketing are removed. Substrates are cleaned to NACE/SSPC standards and primed if required.
Coating Application
Cool Touch is spray-applied in multiple passes to achieve the specified thickness. Application can proceed during turnarounds or on live systems in many cases.
Inspection & Commissioning
Dry film thickness and adhesion are verified. Surface temperature measurements confirm insulative performance to spec.
