Services
Thermal Blankets
Our thermal blankets provide energy conservation for high-pressure steam and industrial systems. These removable solutions reduce heat loss by 420 dBA, achieving OSHA compliance and ISO-certified safety. Designed for valves, fittings, and complex surfaces, they deliver 1224 month payback periods through energy savings while meeting ASTM testing standards.
Acoustic Blankets
Engineered acoustic blankets mitigate industrial noise by 415 dBA using barium sulfate-coated interiors. These reusable systems address radiant noise from compressors, turbines, and fan housings while maintaining thermal efficiency. Tested under ASTM E1222 and ISO 15665 standards, they ensure workplace safety compliance with OSHA 85 dBA regulations for eight-hour exposure limits.
Safety Shields
UL 1709-certified fire blankets protect equipment and personnel from extreme temperatures. These rapid-rise fire shields withstand 2000F for over three hours while allowing manual valve operation. Designed for MOV actuators, cable trays, and instrumentation, they combine chemical resistance with expedited installation for petrochemical and offshore applications.
Hydrophobic Insulation
Hydrophobic insulation blankets repel water with PTFE-impregnated fiberglass cores. These CUI-resistant systems prevent corrosion under insulation while maintaining thermal performance. Available in LT450TT-HES designs, they deliver 108135F surface temperatures for 450F components and meet ASTM C1511/C1763 standards for moisture resistance.
Spray Shields
Engineered spray shields contain liquid piping leaks using nonporous, multi-layer fabric jackets. Designed for oil pipelines and chemical processing, these ASTM F-1138/D3787-tested systems redirect spills to containment beds. Featuring stainless steel fasteners and 15+ year durability, they enable quick removal for maintenance without specialized tools.

Questions
How do Shannon's insulation blankets save energy?
Our removable blankets reduce heat loss by 4–20 dBA on steam systems, achieving 12–24 month payback periods through measurable energy savings validated by ASTM testing.
Are the acoustic blankets OSHA compliant?
Yes, they meet OSHA's 85 dBA exposure limit requirements while reducing industrial noise by 4–15 dBA through barium sulfate-coated interior technology.
What safety certifications do your products have?
Our systems are ISO 9001/14001 certified, UL 1709 tested, ASTM compliant, and meet CSI specification standards for industrial safety and environmental protection.
Can insulation be customized for unique equipment?
Using CAD/CNC technology and 6.5+ million design files, we create exact-fit solutions for complex surfaces across 400+ steam fitting configurations and specialized industrial applications.
How are the blankets installed and maintained?
Integral fasteners enable tool-free installation/removal. With double-sewn construction and 15+ year durability, maintenance requires no special tools—just periodic inspections per ASTM F-1138 standards.

Report
I just interviewed for an inside sales position. It's a good place if your experience is based on schooling. If you have extensive experience by working on the floor, it's not for you. Very uptight and yuppie. The only experience that they have is schooling and office. No hands on experience. Good place if you have a diploma and no shop experience.
