Thermal insulation & refractory supplier for Ghana
Ghana’s offshore oil and gas, thermal power plants around Tema and Takoradi, gold mining and cocoa processing drive demand for hot insulation and tropical-grade vapour-tight systems.
What Ghana projects need.
The industries below drive most insulation demand in Ghana; the products recommended further down follow from them and from the local climate.
Key industries
Industrial centres
Climate: Tropical
Heavy rain, heat and humidity drive corrosion under insulation and condensation on cold lines. Closed-cell materials, vapour-tight seams, butyl mastic under cladding overlaps and stainless bands are standard good practice.
Materials most specified for Ghana projects.
