Knitted wire mesh insulating blanket
Metex
The insulation media for blankets, covers, or jackets is typically a pliable, heat-resistant material such as asbestos, fiberglass, ceramic fibers, etc. Although this material has high temperature resistance qualities, it does not have the physical qualities to:
Retain physical shape and strength
Protect from exterior abrasion
Support for lacing hooks and such devices
Since knitted mesh is made of metal, it is the strongest insulation covering that can be used. It supports continuous handling and resists vibration, as well as penetration by sharp objects.
