Removable insulation blankets, also known as insulation jackets or insulation covers, are widely used in industrial equipment to reduce heat loss, protect personnel, and improve energy efficiency.
To understand how these materials are assembled into a complete insulation jacket, see our How to Manufacture Removable Insulation Blanket step-by-step manufacturing guide.
To manufacture high-performance removable insulation blankets, selecting the right materials is critical. From outer protective layers to inner insulation cores and fastening accessories, each component plays a specific role.
At Anhui Parker New Material Co., Ltd, we supply a complete range of removable insulation blanket materials, and we also provide custom manufacturing and processing services.

Each of the materials listed above plays a specific role in the construction of a removable insulation jacket. If you are planning to manufacture insulation blankets, you can review our detailed process guide here: Step-by-Step Manufacturing Guide .
A removable insulation blanket is a flexible, multi-layer insulation system designed to wrap around:
Valves
Pipes
Turbines
Exhaust systems
Heat exchangers
Industrial machinery
Unlike permanent insulation, these blankets can be removed for maintenance and reinstalled without damage.
A typical removable insulation blanket consists of:
Outer protective layer
Insulation core material
Inner lining layer
Sewing thread
Fastening system (hooks, springs, straps, etc.)
We provide materials for each layer.
Below is a complete material list for manufacturing insulation jackets.
The outer layer protects against mechanical damage, oil, moisture, and external environmental exposure.
| Material Type | Features | Typical Temperature Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Silicone Coated Fiberglass Fabric | Water resistant, flexible, durable | Up to 260°C |
| PTFE Coated Fiberglass Fabric | Chemical resistance, anti-corrosion | Up to 260°C |
| Aluminum Foil Fiberglass Fabric | Reflective heat protection | Up to 250°C |
| PVC Coated Fiberglass Fabric | Moisture and oil resistant | Medium temperature |
| High Silica Fabric | High temperature resistance | Up to 800°C |
The insulation layer determines thermal performance.
| Material Type | Features | Typical Temperature Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass Needle Mat | Flexible, cost-effective insulation | Up to 550°C |
| Ceramic Fiber Blanket | Excellent high temperature insulation | Up to 1000°C+ |
| High Silica Needle Mat | Enhanced heat resistance | Up to 800°C |
| Rock Wool Insulation | Good thermal performance | Medium-high temperature |
| Aerogel Insulation Mat | Thin, lightweight, superior insulation | High performance |
The inner layer contacts the equipment surface and must withstand high temperatures.
| Material Type | Features | Temperature Range |
|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass Fabric | Standard insulation lining | High temperature |
| High Silica Fabric | Higher heat resistance | Very high temperature |
| Ceramic Fiber Cloth | Extreme temperature resistance | Ultra high temperature |
High temperature sewing thread ensures structural integrity.
| Thread Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Fiberglass Sewing Thread | Standard high temperature stitching |
| Kevlar Sewing Thread | High strength reinforcement |
| PTFE Thread | Chemical resistance applications |
To make insulation blankets removable and reusable.
| Accessory | Application |
|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Hooks | Secure fastening |
| Springs | Flexible closure |
| D-Rings | Adjustable installation |
| Velcro (High Temp Type) | Quick open/close |
| Stainless Steel Wire | Reinforcement |
