Thermal Designs, Inc. (TDI) is the manufacturer and marketer of premier Industrial Passive Fireproofing Materials (PFP) and Systems, including K-Mass®, K-Guard™, K-Cab™, and Fireproof Enclosures™. Products produced by TDI are used extensively to mitigate risk by allowing “Critical Controls” to operate during high temperature hydrocarbon fires.
Thermal Designs, Inc. was incorporated in 1979 to produce passive fireproofing products for risk reduction for a number of the worlds largest refiners. The original product, Fireproof Enclosures™ were custom manufactured of ceramic fiber and stainless by a proprietary process still used today. This process enabled passive fire protection (PFP) of critical operating equipment for up to 1 Hour exposure of 2000°F (1093°C) in Rapid Rise Hydrocarbon Fires. TDI Product development efforts require, at a minimum, that our products survive the Underwriters Laboratories developed the UL-1709 “Rapid Rise Fire Tests of Protection Materials for Structural Steel”.
Thermal Designs, Inc. family of products are suitable for application in almost any environment both on and offshore, as well as special products for application to equipment in locations as diverse as tunnels to jet aircraft. Our products are designed based on the time / temperature requirements that the protected equipment is likely to experience as a result of hydrocarbon pool and jet type fires associated with industrial processing and handling installations. Thermal Designs utilizes its own in-house UL-1709 test facility for product quality & performance certifications. TDI’s products have been tested & approved by nindependant agencies that includes; Bureau Veritas, Favordale Technology Centre, Sintef of Norway, Alberta Research Council, and Southwest Research Institute.
As a technology leader in PFP solutions Thermal Designs, Inc. also represents a number of products manufactured by other manufacturers.
With 26 years of product development and application experience TDI has become the reliable source for industrial fireproofing of critical operating equipment.
