High Temperature Heat Insulation Materials

There are a variety of materials that can be used for insulation, and your selected material must be able to tolerate the specific demands of your equipment and operational environment.

High-Temperature Insulation Materials

There is a range of insulation materials suitable for high-temperature usages, such as:

• Fiberglass Wool

Fiberglass offers superb flexibility and dimensional stability for temperatures up to 550ºC. User-friendly with little odor or smoke, fiberglass will not corrode the metals it protects. One of the most common insulation materials, fiberglass is used in a wide array of everyday applications.

• Ceramic Fabric & Ceramic Weool

This material is inorganic, smoke-free and features above-average insulation properties, low heat storage capacity, low thermal conductivity, and dependable thermal shock resistance. It is suggested for use in applications exceeding 1000º C. Typical applications of ceramic fiber include furnaces and kilns, high-temperature gaskets, expansion joints, boiler lining, laboratory ovens, reformers, and fire protection.

• Aerogels Wool

Aerogels are a class of synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with a gas, without significant collapse of the gel structure. The result is a solid with extremely low density and extremely low thermal conductivity. Now aerogel wool is widely used in thermal insulation applications.
