Passenger comfort takes centre stage alongside environmental responsibility and energy efficiency on passenger ships. Striking a balance between fuel savings and top-tier experiences, operators rely on high-quality insulation materials. Notably, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems consume a significant amount of energy, accounting for 30 to 40 percent of the energy consumption on cruise ships, while also producing sound. By effectively preventing energy losses, lightweight closed-cell foams ensure optimal system performance at minimised acoustic levels. Our low-smoke elastomeric insulation and passive fire protection solutions play a crucial role in enhancing passenger safety on cruise liners and ferries, and the refrigeration of food and beverages. For maximum cruising comfort, our acoustic solutions ensure excellent performance at minimal thickness and weight. Our next-generation aerogel insulation features reduced thickness yielding a thin profile that allows use in tight spaces common on any type of craft. With superior insulation properties and a thin and lightweight design, these materials offer new solutions for innovative space-saving designs on board of all types of ships.

Fire safety is a key concern to specifiers due to the potential risks to crew and passengers. Our highly flexible, low-smoke insulation materials help operators prioritise passenger and worker safety. Characterised by high elasticity in a broad temperature range, our passive fire solutions withstand fully developed fires throughout a significant timespan. Our reliable firestop solution for sealing off pipe penetrations guarantees reliable fire safety in all A-class divisions (A-60 class decks and bulkheads) without the need for any complicated additional measures.
