About us
Owens Corning FOAMGLAS® insulation is a global leader in high-performance insulation solutions for storage tanks. Our high load bearing insulation systems provide the necessary compressive
strength and help with process control, cost and energy savings, CO2 emission reduction, fire safety and corrosion protection. Our insulation solutions are available for tank base, tank wall and tank roof insulation applications.
Products
FOAMGLAS® High Load Bearing Insulation
FOAMGLAS® HLB Cellular Glass Insulation is specially designed for high load bearing industrial applications. Its unique combination of high compressive strength and low thermal conductivity makes it ideal for a wide range of tank base construction and other industrial load bearing applications.
FOAMGLAS® ONE™ Insulation
FOAMGLAS® ONE™ insulation is a lightweight, rigid material composed of millions of completely sealed glass cells. FOAMGLAS® ONE™ insulation is manufactured by Pittsburgh Corning in a block form and then fabricated into a wide range of shapes and sizes to satisfy industrial and commercial insulation requirements.
PC® Accessory Products
Pittsburgh Corning offers a line of accessory materials for use with FOAMGLAS® insulation in the major types of industrial applications. These materials are tested and selected especially for use with FOAMGLAS® insulation.
FOAMGLAS® insulation tank solutions
FOAMGLAS® insulation tank solutions help ensure that your storage tanks are operating as efficient, cost-effective and sustainable as possible. We provide insulation solutions for every possible tank design. Upright tanks, pressurized spheres or storage vessels, we have the solution. Our systems can be used for tanks operating at cryogenic, cold, above ambient or high temperatures from -265°C to +430°C. Our tank base, wall and roof systems limit heat transfer providing immediate energy savings and emissions reductions which helps keeping overall operating costs at a minimum. On top of this, our insulation systems provide the necessary compressive strength to support the tank and its contents, and provide mechanical, moisture, and corrosion resistance to help ensure process control and tank safety. Our systems are not only available for newly built storage tanks but can be installed on existing tanks during maintenance stops as well. Tank builders and terminal owners can call on the expertise of Owens Corning’s technical services team to assist with the calculation of payback periods and annual yields of the investment in a FOAMGLAS® insulation system. Depending on the storage temperature of the liquid or gas that is being stored, the total payback period can be as short as merely months.
