Aluminum jacketing/cladding is the premier protective outer surface for mechanical insulation systems, including pipes, vessels and equipment. It helps protect the insulation and underlying pipe/vessel from physical damage, UV exposure, corrosive environments and water.
Aluminum jacketing uses 1060, 1100, 3003, 3105, 5005 and other aluminum, and the surface treatment covers mill finished, embossed, Polysurlyn Moisture Barrier (PSMB), Poly-kraft Moisture Barrier(PKMR) etc.
