Product ( Flexalen ) Seminar in Jakarta

In February 2013, Thermaflex Insulation Asia has sent the Asia Sales Team to support its local Indonesian distributor organizing the product seminar event at Pullman Jakarta @ Central Park.

Flexalen proves to be the efficient system with much less installation time and homogeneous welding technique. The event ended with workshop and lucky draw for participants.

Thermaflex success in India

The pre-insulated pipe is increasingly seen as the fast and convenient new way of installation both underground and inside building. In this category,  steel pipe has been dominated market for years with the main reason of withstanding the high pressure, but at the same time with the problem of corrosion over a period of time.

There have been many innovations in the plastic world on how to invent the one-of-a-kind plastic that has the perfect welding (homogeneous) and durable to high working pressure. Of course, corrosion is not a problem with plastic.

PB (Polybutene) is the answer to this quest. It was discovered back in 1960s, where the person who invented it got the Nobel Prize some years later.

Thermaflex is one of the not-many companies that see the advantage of PB. Yet, Thermaflex has combined its own high quality insulation to PB and make a perfect pre-insulated pipe system.

In the photo, you see the big renovation project of Park Hyatt India chose to use our system. It helped the engineer save time and save their maintenance cost in long term from corrosion or leakage at the joint.

Flood in Thailand - Nature or Mismanagement

An environment researcher from Mahidol University has analyzed the quantity of water and its flow direction before he has reached the conclusion that the flood disaster in Thailand related to the mismanagement and political issue.

Mo Chit's BTS Station (Sky Train)

Associate Professor Suchart Navakawong, Mahidol University, has expressed his vision toward the ongoing flood disaster in Thailand.  He said the problem come from water management, not from the error of the dam in the Northern part as per some info.

With the huge volume of water flow from the North, there are some area before reaching Bangkok and the sea that was earlier planned to be the reservoir-like area to keep and slow down the water flow, to reduce its force to enter to the capital city. However, these areas are under some of the political game, where they don't want water to come into their zone. Therefore, water had to flow somewhere else which is not as suitable as those early planned area.

"In conclusion, water management under political pressure, either local or national level, is not a good thing.  This has made the water flow pattern changed from its nature. We need a better water management."

Therefore, huge volume of water, wrong water flow management, and error in decision of leader have led us into a huge water disaster this year.

Note from myself:  The reservoir-like area is already the idea from our king (HM Bhumiphol) long time ago.  He spoke in front of public of the idea to prepare what he called "Monkey Cheek".  It's when he was young he had a monkey.  Whenever it ate some banana, it always keep banana inside its cheek and gradually swallow them.  In this case, the king means every once in awhile the water will flow from the North to the Middle part to access to the sea.  In order to reduce its force, the "Monkey Cheek" area needs to be prepared in some province in between the North and the Middle part of Thailand.

Flood in Thailand (Nov 08, 2011)

Police needs a raft to work in Bangkok area.

Another week pass, the flood in Bangkok is still same as last week, yet expanding to more areas.  There was a flood reduction in the Northern province. They said it's a good sign.  But, in fact, the reduction in the North is the gain in the middle part.  This is because the nature of water that will try to access to the sea (Gulf of Thailand) through the lower land level, which unfortunately, the middle part of Thailand is Bangkok!

Flood in Thailand (Update)

Announced by Thai Traffic Police (Traffic Control and Command Center) yesterday (November 1st, 2011), more roads/streets need to be closed up to 30 routes due to the high level of flood throughout Bangkok area.  Previously on October 25th, 2011, 25 roads/streets were announced to be closed as the high level of flood in Bangkok area.

Thermaflex helps flood victims

Thermaflex Insulation Asia has managed to supply 80 units of 20 litres water tank to donate to flood victims in Bangkruay District in Nonthaburi Province.  This area is one of the most serious flood level areas, where averagely flood level is as high as the chest level.  Along with the donate water, Thermaflex also managed to donate our "Funflex", the 2-meter foam in colour, and some deadstock of special shape foam that could be used for floating in water in a big 6-wheel truck.

Flood in Thailand

Thailand has been facing with the flood situation since months ago, started from Northern part and now to the middle part, which unfortunately include Bangkok, the capital city.

Recently, the Netherlands-Thailand Chamber of Commerce (NTCC) has issued the update and warning as per below details: -

Due to a sequence of small breaches and  over toppings, the prospects for the Bangkok inner ring are deteriorating faster than expected. Though non-life threatening it implies that chances for flooding and side effects such as electricity cuts and water supply  are increasing. Quantities and locations are as yet not exactly known. We therefore advise against on non-essential travel to the center of Bangkok, greater  Bangkok and the area north of Bangkok up to and including Ayutthaya until the 2nd of November. The situation in the other major  tourist areas in Thailand is as usual and these areas can mostly be reached by road. The international airport of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi continues to operate as normal and can be reached from the city center.  From this airport flight to domestic destinations are operating normally as well.

Thermaflex cooperates with Narcotic Preventive Program

Thermaflex Insulation Asia Company Limited complies with the Narcotic Preventive Program from the Ministry of Public Health.  We had a group of their staffs visited our factory to check the narcotic substance  for all our employees.  The result is none of us has any possibility of narcotic usage.

On 13 October 2011, we had a chance to welcome a group of prospect from Myanmar. Even the business opportunity there is still not clear, but we are glad to start supporting some business people to grow bit by bit in this market.

Trade Mission to Philippines

By the cooperation with HME (Maritime by Holland), Thermaflex had a chance to join the trade mission for ship building business in Philippines.  Among all Dutch people, I am the only Thai person who represent Thermaflex, a Dutch company, there.

 It's the new idea of business where we have found an opportunity  in supplying our high quality pre-insulated PB Pipe (Flexalen) in the replacement of the conventional corroded steel pipe system.  The trip had been carried during 9-12 October 2011 through 3 main cities in Philippines i.e. Cebu, Manila, and Subic Bay.
