Duct Balloon is a line of industrial inflatable isolation barrier products exclusively distributed by G.R. Werth & Associates, Inc., with initial installation cases dating back to 1998. It is not a traditional e-commerce platform, but a custom quote-based product website for applications in power plants, gas turbines, HRSGs, SCR systems, FGD systems, axial fans, pulverized coal systems, and heavy industrial ductwork.
Its core value lies in replacing wooden frames, plastic sheeting, or certain rigid damper solutions with foldable, inflatable temporary barriers. Products can be customized to the size and shape of the duct, inserted through existing access doors or man ways, and inflated using 110V, 120V, or 240V positive-pressure blowers. They can typically be fully inflated within 5 minutes. For removal, users simply shut off the blower and open the deflation zipper. Materials can be selected based on temperature, application, access door size, and installation convenience. Some silicone-coated fiberglass materials can withstand continuous temperatures up to 500°F/260°C, and special configurations such as low-temperature, anti-static, and explosion-proof motors are also supported.
The website does not publish standard pricing. All quotes are provided by the company, making it a project-based inquiry model. In the body text, a Stack Balloon case mentions a total investment of around USD 35,000 per stack. Standard lead time is usually about 3 weeks, with expedited delivery available in roughly 1 week. Products can be supplied with storage bags, blowers, inflation hoses, and repair kits, while fiberglass storage boxes are available at an additional cost.
The advantages are clear application scenarios, more than 1,000 installations worldwide, and the ability to provide customer references. The products are relatively lightweight, can be installed and removed quickly, and can help shorten outage windows during maintenance, insulation, anti-corrosion work, and zero-leakage isolation. The drawbacks are that pricing is not transparent and substantial engineering parameters are required before purchase. The blower must run continuously; in the event of power loss, the barrier will gradually deflate, so critical applications require dual-blower redundancy. The Stack Balloon also cannot be operated automatically.
It is suitable for maintenance teams in the power, gas turbine, HRSG, environmental control island, and heavy industrial sectors, especially users who need temporary isolation without large-scale construction. The website does not state details regarding access from China, payment methods, or local service availability, so access from China is rated as unknown.
