Industrial shrink wrap enclosures in chemical, petrochemical, and refinery environments are a specialized segment of the temporary protection market. The stakes are higher for worker safety and regulatory compliance, and the execution requirements reflect that.
Material Specifications
Standard UV-stabilized polyethylene is not appropriate for environments with chemical vapor exposure, open flame proximity, or elevated process temperatures. FR-rated and chemical-resistant specialty films are required in most refinery applications, with third-party flame-spread certifications on file with facility safety teams.
Hot Work Permit Integration
Heat-fusing shrink wrap requires open flame tools. In process facilities, this work is performed under hot work permit protocols, with fire watch, gas monitoring, and coordination with facility safety officers. StormWrappers crews are trained for hot work permit compliance.
Scaffold Integration
Industrial enclosures are typically integrated with the facility’s engineered scaffolding system. StormWrappers works with scaffold suppliers and industrial GCs to ensure the enclosure design complements the scaffold’s rated load capacity.
