Crossroads C&I supplies these high-quality insulation products in all sizes to mitigate and prevent the risk of extensive damage that can be done by water or vapor. We offer superior corrosion under insulation solutions from top brands such as Integrity Products, Polyguard, and more.
Affordable solutions for establishing insulation ventilation systems to prevent corrosion and its damaging effects.
A waterproof membrane designed specifically to create a consistent air gap between the insulation and metal cladding.
An impermeable membrane made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, aka Teflon) perfect for establishing a non-contact insulation system.
Budget-friendly and long-lasting solutions that can replace traditional metal end caps for watertight seals.
A heavy-duty and flexible membrane for outdoor use to weatherproof exterior insulated ductwork, piping, or other insulated tanks, vessels, and equipment.
A versatile solution for indoor and outdoor applications providing an additional layer of protection against corrosion under insulation.
Effective insulation using water repellency technology for piping, mechanical equipment, marine applications, and more.
Easy to use with minimal preparation, excellent for helping to prevent corrosion from occurring on new piping systems.
A full range of reliable corrosion under insulation products from an experienced and trusted partner.
Corrosion under insulation, also known as CUI, is a category of products and solutions that are engineered to mitigate and prevent moisture buildup on the external surface of insulated systems such as ductwork, piping, or equipment. Moisture is the cause of damaging corrosion that can affect a system’s ability to function optimally.
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) refers to the deterioration of metal surfaces under insulating materials (insulation, removable covers, etc.) due to moisture entering the space between the insulation and surface.
CUI often occurs in industrial, commercial, and marine settings and is a major concern as it can go undetected. Over time, CUI can lead to structural damage, safety hazards, and increased maintenance costs.
CUI is preventable with regular inspections, preventive measures, and insulation maintenance, which are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with it.
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) products vary greatly and so do the materials that are used to make them. CUI products often use materials such as corrosion-resistant coatings, weather barriers, and protective jackets. Manufacturers use specialized coatings or wraps made from materials like polymers or metallic alloys designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and prevent moisture intrusion. The materials used to make CUI products are chosen based on their ability to resist moisture penetration, which is the main cause of corrosion under insulation.
Crossroads C&I has supplied over 50 million square feet of insulation products across Canada, serving various industries and gaining unparalleled expertise in insulation distribution and fabrication.
We’re the trusted partner for stakeholders throughout related industries including contractors, architects, and engineers. They know that we’re the one-stop-shop for insulation supplies, including our full range of corrosion under insulation products and solutions.
We offer high-performance insulation solutions and are dedicated to ensuring that those solutions provide thermal, acoustic, and fire protection solutions to help mitigate damage or decay through corrosion.
There are multiple ways to control corrosion under insulation. One way is through preventative measures. Preventative measures include using corrosion-resistant materials and protective coatings on metal surfaces and installing a reliable insulation system that minimizes moisture access. The most important aspect of these preventative measures is using high-performance insulation products and accessories.
Other ways to control corrosion under insulation include regular inspections, utilizing non-destructive testing methods, and identifying early signs of corrosion.
Reliable ventilation and drainage in insulation systems also aid in preventing moisture accumulation and can contribute to controlling and mitigating corrosion under insulation.
