Ever wonder what industrial plants use to keep the heat down? The equipment inside manufacturing plants, whether they make bread, basketballs, or rubber gloves all create heat.

High heat is hard to work around and is hard on the life of the industrial equipment.

The answer is high temperature insulation. High Temperature Insulation is a ceramic material manufactured from alumina silicate glass and is used for thermal insulation in temperatures of up to 1,300 °C.

High-temperature Mineral Wool Insulation allows industrial machinery to have lighter weight construction via smaller wall thickness and thinner linings thereby increasing their efficiencies.

Aluminum silicate based ‘ceramic fiber’ products have been around for a few decades and are invaluable in high heat situations. Products made from ‘ceramic fiber’ or those incorporating the ceramic product have high temperature resistance and are the standard for high temperature installations.

You’ll find this energy saving Thermal Insulation material in many places. It’s used in boiler and water heating linings, insulation of pipes, flues and ducts. It’s being used in kilns and furnaces, burner assemblies as well as anywhere heat shielding is desired. Another common use is in fire and welding blankets where the material is used to slow heat flow and block fire.

High temperature insulation, with it’s low thermal conductivity and heat storage make industrial applications safer, more affordable and reduce energy consumption.
