SMC's AU-1200 was uniquely designed and formulated to offer an easier to handle and higher performing perlite silicate insulation. AU-1200 is a molded high temperature insulation that is hydrophobic, non-wicking, and contains leachable silicates proven to inhibit corrosion on the outer surfaces of piping and equipment. In addition, AU-1200 is manufactured with a patent-pending reinforcement applied to the outer surface of the insulation. The reinforcement provides the product with significant strength compared to standard perlite silicate, offering an ASTM C-610 compliant perlite silicate insulation that is easier to handle and less prone to breakage and friability than other products on the market. AU-1200 is the only insulation to offer the proven benefits of perlite silicate in a strong, robust structure that is easily shipped and handled. SMC produces AU-1200 in the USA with a brand new, highly automated manufacturing line based on decades of experience in the manufacture of perlite silicate. With a wide range of applications, SMC's AU-1200 delivers proven defense against CUI that is both effective and economical.
