Micro Silica Insulation Board

The Micro Silica Insulation Board range of products are microporous insulation boards with very good thermal and mechanical properties. The formulation is an opacified blend of fi lament reinforced pyrogenic silica (alumina for 1200 grade). Micro Silica Board is a lightweight insulation board with silicon carbide as opacifier. Micro Silica Board is an alumina based insulation board product at higher density and is capable of withstanding peak temperatures of 1200 °C. The micro silica board range of products is available in various coverings (PE foil & Aluminium). As an option, a reinforcement mica layer can be applied on both sides. This M-series increases the compressive strength by around 30% and improves handling.

ADVANTAGES

  • Extremely low thermal conductivity
  • High thermal stability
  • Available in various temperature grades
  • Non-combustible
  • Easy to handle
  • Excellent machinability
  • No harmful respirable fibres
  • Environmentally friendly, free of organic binders
  • Resistant to most chemicals

APPLICATION AREA

Microporous insulation offers an extremely low thermal conductivity, close to the lowest theoretically possible at high temperatures. Microporous materials are the preferred choice when a large temperature reduction is required within a limited space, or when strict heat loss or surface temperature requirements are specified.
