Insulation prevents heat transfer and thus reduces the energy required to raise temperatures and protects adjacent materials from heat damage.

Since the dangers of using asbestos became apparent, various alternatives for insulation in high temperature situations have been developed.

Temperature control is vital in numerous industries to ensure efficiency and safety – this is the reason why choosing the most appropriate heat insulation material is so important. Learn more about it here.

Some industries handle high temperatures daily in their production processes, which can affect not only the performance of the equipment but also worker safety and the quality of the products. Therefore, the appropriate choice of heat insulation solution is crucial for any manufacturing sector to achieve first-class performance.

The most suitable heat insulation, according to industry needs

When selecting a specific solution, we recommend considering the industry’s particular needs.

  • Petrochemical industry. The petrochemical industry operates in highly demanding environments. Therefore, thermal insulation must protect pipes and equipment from the high temperature generated by the oil refining process.
  • Food industry. Insulation is often used to keep food at the correct temperature during processing and storage. It is essential that the material is resistant to humidity, corrosion and that it meets safety and health requirements.
  • Automotive industry. These products are often used in the design of both electric vehicles and conventional powertrains, from exhaust heat shields to electric car lithium battery separators. Insulation materials must be resistant to high temperatures and vibration.
  • Construction industry. Thermal solutions are used for high temperature protection of ventilation ducts; grease ducts or ventilation grills (particularly for commercial premises such as hotels, restaurants, casinos, etc.); chimneys; and precast duct systems. They are also essential in passive fire protection, temperature, and/or noise insulation.
  • Power generation industry. Here, insulation protects equipment and pipelines that carry fluids at high temperatures. In this type of plant, insulating solutions improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat leakage while filling voids or gaps.
  • Aerospace industry;The aerospace industry is renowned for constantly setting new benchmarks in improving fuel efficiency, reducing CO₂ emissions and implementing advanced thermal management . These challenges are constantly encountered when dealing with extreme work environments.

To be successful, superior components designed by reputable manufacturers must be      used. It has a say in various applications in this sector with its lightweight, high strength, high temperature materials with excellent thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, low shrinkage and excellent insulation and fire resistance properties.
