High-Grade Design and Development Services

At QUSA Thermal, Inc., we offer high-grade thermal insulation design and development services for custom applications. Leveraging our Q-Shield™ technology, we engineer removable and reusable insulating jackets that protect both equipment and personnel. Our design engineers analyze heatshield requirements and use either customer-supplied IGES and STP files or physical measurements to create 2D drawings and 3D models of custom engineered thermal barrier insulation. We manufacture insulation jacketing and insulation blankets that tolerate extreme service conditions and protect heat sensitive cables, controls, and electric wiring while assuring human safety.

Constructed from a range of high-temperature textile and fiberglass materials with specialty thermal barrier coatings, our multi-functional thermal insulation resists temperatures up to 1500ºC (2,800 ºF). Depending on the equipment and the environmental conditions, we produce jackets and blankets with 2 to 5 layers of material and measuring from 1 to 50 mm (0.04 - 1.97") in thickness. There is no limit on overall size nor are there any restrictions on the configuration. Our products are easy to install, remove, and reinstall after maintenance has been performed. Setting the industry standard for performance, our Q-Shield™ products eliminate the danger of oil spills on engine surfaces, increase the effectiveness of exhaust filters, and ensure emission expectations are met.
