Microporous Insulation Material Market Overview

The microporous insulation materials are used in applications where space is limited and superior thermal insulation performance is required. Insulation materials are precisely designed to decrease the heat flow by restricting heat conduction, radiation and convection and performs functions like conserving energy by reducing heat loss, increasing operating efficiency of heating, plumbing, steam and various other systems found in industrial and commercial installations.

Microporous insulation material are considered to be very efficient insulation products, they have thermal conductivity value lower than still air. The performance of microporous insulation material depends on their ability to block the three modes of heat transfer they are convention, radiation and conduction.

Microporous insulation material are made up of fibers, silica and other specially developed infrared opacifiers which reduce thermal transport processes by reflection and absorption of radiant heat. Microporous insulation material are widely used for applications in process piping insulation, furnace lining back-up insulation, heat shields in aerospace and ladle lining solutions for metal products.

Microporous insulation material provides excellent energy conservation and alumina based microporous insulation material provides advanced insulation with ultra-low thermal conductivity.
