Microtherm Insulation
MICROTHERM MPS (MOULDED PIPE SECTIONS) are preformed microporous insulation shells with very good thermal properties. The shells are covered in a glass cloth outer envelope, making them clean and easy to handle. The formulation is an opacified blend of filament reinforced pyrogenic silica.
MICROTHERM MPS shells have a standard thickness of 25 mm and are designed to fit on standardized pipes. Standard elbows are available for 45° and 90°.
ADVANTAGES
- Extremely low thermal conductivity
- High thermal stability
- Non–combustible
- Standardized dimensions
- Quick, clean and easy to install
- Simple to cut and shape
- No harmful respirable fibres
- Environmentally friendly, free of organic binders
- Resistant to most chemicals
APPLICATION AREAS
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.
