Stay Cool: Solve Worker Heat Issues

Summer temperatures bring heat related worker safety issues, including sweltering working environments that contribute to heat stress and surfaces that can heat up to skin burn levels. In addition to indoor manufacturing equipment, outdoor handrails and benches can heat up in the sun to as high as 150-160F.  Nansulate® coatings offer solutions both for energy savings - the hotter the working environment, the more it costs to keep it air conditioned - and also for reduction of hot surface temperatures and the amount of heat expelled into the working environment from ovens, cookers, steam pipes, and other hot equipment.

Read on for ways you can affordably solve heat related worker safety issues with Nansulate® coatings.

xhot1.jpgHot Environments
Keep working environments cooler for less heat related illness + save energy.
Nansulate® Coatings provide easy paint-on solutions for reducing the temperature of hot working environments. Coat hot manufacturing equipment, such as ovens and steam pipes, with either Nansulate® High Heat (up to 400F) or Nansulate® PT (up to 256F) to insulate and reduce energy consumption AND ALSO to reduce the amount of heat expelled from the equipment into the working environment.

We also have an NSF registered version for food sensitive environments, Nansulate® Translucent GP-NSF.

Hot Equipment
Lower surface temperatures of all hot equipment with an easy to apply coating.
Nansulate® coatings are versatile enough to fit your exact temperatures and reduction needs. The coats can be layed for the thickness needed to take your surface from a burn level to a safe touch level. Simply use our Temperature Gradient Chart to locate the thickness needed for your reduction goal.

In the case study featured in Green Manufacturing Magazine, LS Industries reduced their oven exterior temperatures from 168F to between 100-115F for improved customer safety.

xhot3.jpgBurning Handrails
Reduce risk of visitor burn injuries by protecting outdoor surfaces from the sun.
Handrails, fountains, benches and playground equipment are all surfaces that can heat up to dangerous burn temperatures in the summer sun.

Because Nansulate® coatings reduce heat conduction, no matter which side the heat is on, they can also protect these types of surfaces from heating up when subject to the sun's rays.

A typical outdoor metal surface can get as hot as 150-160F in direct sun. By using approximately 6-coats of Nansulate® Translucent PT, a surface of 158F can be reduced to a touch comfortable 117F.
