The news section is updated twice a month \u2014 typically the first and third Tuesday of each month. Each update includes one technical article (an industry topic, an application case study, or a product specification deep-dive) and one industry-update article (a market or regulatory development relevant to industrial insulation). The schedule is maintained even when there is no major news event, so readers who subscribe see a predictable cadence. Articles remain in the archive permanently; older articles are not removed unless they contain factual errors or are superseded by a clearly more recent analysis. The article index on this page lists the most recent 24 articles; readers can access older articles via the category archive (industry news, application case studies, product specifications, regulatory updates) or via the search function. Articles are published in English only; the underlying source data may include English, German, Japanese, or Chinese references and the English text is the canonical version.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes \u2014 topic requests are welcome and we respond to most requests within 30 days. The process is: (1) reader submits a topic request via the contact form or via email to the editorial team, (2) the editorial team reviews the request and assesses whether the topic is within our coverage area, (3) if accepted, the topic is added to the editorial calendar and assigned to one of our application engineers or to an external contributor. We do not commit to a specific publication date because article quality depends on the technical data we can gather \u2014 some topics need customer interviews, some need laboratory testing, and some need regulatory research. We acknowledge receipt of the topic request within 5 working days and provide an estimated publication timeline. If the requested topic is outside our coverage area, we refer the reader to a more appropriate source (e.g. a refractory-industry trade publication, a regulatory agency, or a subject-matter expert in our network). Past topic requests have included industry-specific deep-dives, technical comparisons, and regulatory interpretations \u2014 the editorial calendar reflects the topics requested by our readers.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
