WestecTM Insulation System Features
| The Westec Insulation System is the first burn room insulation system designed to provide the best performance for all burn room conditions.
- High temperatures - The Westec Insulation Blanket withstands 2300°F* and the complete system withstands 1850°F* continuous temperatures.
- Thermal performance - Insulation properties of the Westec blanket are the highest and most stable in the industry. The system's unique thermal break prevents heat from transferring through the system by conduction. See Cold Face Temperature Comparison
- Direct flame impingement - The Westec blanket is covered with stainless steel panels that can be exposed to direct flames without worry of damage.
- High-pressure hose stream - Westec's stainless steel panels provide the most durable surface in the industry. They will withstand the direct pressure of a hose stream with no effect.
- Rust and corrosion resistance - Stainless steel panels and fasteners will not rust or corrode.
- Freezing cycles - Since none of the system's components will absorb water, freezing is not a concern.
- Thermal expansion - Westec incorporates a unique system of structural supports, stainless steel panels, and flexible elements that allow the system to move with the heat rather than resist it. Therefore, the stainless steel panels will not warp from exposure to high temperatures.
- Resistance to impact - The stainless steel panels will withstand impacts far beyond those encountered in training scenarios.
- Warranted - Westec is the only insulation system supported by a 15-year warranty.
*For firefighter safety, Fire Facilities does not recommend training at temperatures in excess of 1200°F.
