Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
Thermal insulation is an integral part of the industrial complex, and it offers a variety of benefits. Designing, installing and maintaining an insulation system to address corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a critical step to preemptively preventing CUI. At Johns Manville, we recognize that this task includes incorporating many details from material specifications to the latest research and technology.

Insulation for Cryogenic and LNG Systems
Cryogenic and below-ambient pipe and tank temperatures can drop to -297°F, making a well-designed insulation system critical to ensure safe and efficient operations in an Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility. We’ve created this LNG resource page to assist you with the details you need to properly design, specify and install insulation systems for your cryogenic and LNG applications.
Johns Manville is the leading manufacturer of thermal insulation solutions for high and low-temperature industrial applications. We offer the broadest range of insulation solutions engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. Each of our solutions provides unique features and benefits to ensure you have consistent performance that meets your specifications and design criteria.
