Since HUAYUE’s inception, we have been supplying the Oil/Gas and Energy industry with industrial solutions for thermal and cryogenic insulation applications. Over the past 25 years, our capability has increased to the supply of hot and cryogenic insulation materials and anticorrosion materials for all aspects of petrochemical facilities & refineries in the energy industries.
Based on many Oil/Gas and Energy projects we have worked on around the world, the vast experience that HUAYUE has gained in the energy industry gives customers the confidence that we can manufacture and offer high performance cellular glass insulation that projects require. Cellular glass insulation is primarily used in an LNG terminal on piping and equipment as well as on tank bases and walls.
HUAYUE® Cellular Glass Insulation For Tank Base Construction
Tank insulation systems mainly contain insulation of three parts, tank base, tank wall, and tank roof. The tank wall and its roof are the biggest sources of energy losses when a storage tank is completely filled. This is why the bottom of tanks is often overlooked. The situation is somewhat different when the tank is partially filled. Even if the storage tank is filled for only 10%, the tank bottom is always in 100% contact with the hot or cold liquid which is why it is so important to have a good thermal insulation system in tank bases.
Given the specific needs of tank systems, HUAYUE® cellular glass insulation can be an ideal option and gives easily obtained additional energy savings for hot tank bases. There are 8 primary reasons HUAYUE® insulation can function well on hot and cryogenic tank systems.
Compressive strength
HUAYUE® High Load Bearing insulation provides a very high compressive strength that can easily withstand high loads. In addition, for applications that require various level of compressive strength, different models of HUAYUE® cellular glass insulation is available in a number of high load bearing grades. Please consult our technical data sheets for the compressive strength per grade.
100% Fireproof
Cellular glass insulation is 100% glass. Since it does not burn, cellular glass insulation helps increase the fire resistance of the overall insulation system.
Thermal insulation
HUAYUE® offers good insulation properties with a stable and never worsening lambda value.
Universally applicable and multifunctional
HUAYUE® insulation provides not only insulating benefits but also helps to prevent corrosion. Regardless of the content and / or material of the tank, all tank floors can be insulated with HUAYUE® insulation, including LPG, LNG, LOX, ammonia, ethylene and liquid nitrogen tanks, etc. It can also be applied to all types of tanks (including stainless steel storage tanks).
Acts as a vapour barrier
HUAYUE® insulation is an impermeable barrier against rising water vapour and moisture thanks to the cell walls of the glass foam, protecting the tank bottom against corrosion. This is important when considering the issue of water vapor intrusion into the system.
Protection of the base slab against high or cold operating temperatures
HUAYUE® insulation protects the substrate (concrete base slab) against high or cryogenic temperatures. This increases safety and longevity.
Simple design with profitable installation costs
HUAYUE® insulation offers a simple alternative for the insulation of tank bottoms. The installation costs are reduced by the simplicity of construction and the use of economical materials.
Long life cycle
HUAYUE® insulation is an impermeable barrier against rising water vapour and moisture thanks to the cell walls of the glass foam, protecting the tank bottom against corrosion. This is important when considering the issue of water vapor intrusion into the system.

HUAYUE® Cellular Glass Insulation For Pipe Insulation
HUAYUE® cellular glass insulation offers a combination of superior features that are useful in properly insulating LNG pipeline systems, other cryogenic pipes, and above ambient temperatures and hot pipe applications.
Cryogenic and cold temperatures piping insulation
With the combination of our HUAYUE® high performance cellular glass insulation pipe and the right construction engineering, it can be used to increase efficiency and lengthen the life of pipelines in LNG systems.
HUAYUE® foam cellular glass pipe insulation:
- is 100% impermeable and as such avoids moisture ingress when vapour retarders fail.
- is fire safe, which is critical in the presence of hydrocarbon products.
- has a high compressive strength, making it easier to perform mechanical maintenance without damage.
- has an insulation value that stands the test of time and performs for decades.
- in actual operation, the piping on an LNG system will contract when put in service. Since the coefficient of thermal expansion for HUAYUE® cellular glass insulation is close to that of steel, it will contract proportionally to the pipe avoiding cracks and open joints.
In addition, the HUAYUE® insulation pipe system is surprisingly competitive, requiring only two layers in many cases where other insulation materials need three or more layers to perform adequately. As a result, less joint sealant and handling would be required.
In systems operating down to -51°C (-58°F), HUAYUE® insulation can be applied in a single layer, thus avoiding the costly double layering required with alternative systems.
Above ambient temperatures and hot pipe insulation
HUAYUE® foam cellular glass pipe insulation is suitable for not only cold pipes applications but also above ambient temperatures and hot pipes, serving with a severe fluctuating temperature range.
There is simply no other insulation material available in the market today which combines physical strength, fire resistance and moisture resistance to provide the safety and security superiority in industrial and commercial pipe insulation performance. The extremely low chloride content in HUAYUE® insulation pipe makes it the primary and even only choice for their commercial pipe applications. Thanks to HUAYUE’s unique raw materials formula, HUAYUE® foam cellular glass pipe insulation gains superior thermal shock stability, even if a very hot temperature does not influence its interior structure and properties, insulating hot pipes properly all the time.
Underground piping
HUAYUE® cellular glass insulation pipe is impermeable to moisture, unaffected by soil acids, chemically inert and strong enough for direct burial.
