Abstract: This paper discusses the problems inherent in absorptive thermal insulation used in both below and above ambient service. In low temperature service, water vapor may condense within an absorptive insulation. Even in high temperature service, water intrusion from an occasional rainfall will be partially retained. In either case, thermal performance will be seriously degraded. The absorption of hydrocarbon liquids can create a serious fire hazard. These problems can be addressed through the use of impermeable insulation or specific insulation systems that are based on impermeable insulation.
