High temperature insulation materials and its applications

February 16, 2022 10:21 am Published by

Hot applications require more than just every insulating material – as a standalone material, these would prove insufficient. Traditional materials used in devices such as insulating blankets, jackets & covers, namely silicone or fiberglass, falter when approaching very high temperatures and would be unsuitable for said applications.

High temperature insulation is material offering protection from extreme high temperatures, used in several industries such as automobiles, manufacturing, electric applications, mechanics, and several more. Essential processes, such as manufacturing, in several of these industries, require high temperature insulation to effectively and safely be executed. 

Therefore, insulation to prevent unwarranted heat transfer is essential.

Listed below are some salient features of high temperature insulation materials:

  1. Surface Emissivity, which means that the material is good at emitting energy as thermal radiation
  2. Density
  3. Specific Heat Capacity, implying that they take more time to absorb heat, prior to heating up and transfer
  4. Thermal Bridging
  5. Low Thermal Conductivity, or a lower rate of heat transfer
  6. The thickness of Insulation

There are several high temperature insulation materials in the UAE market, such as thermal insulation, fiberglass insulation, PPR, PVC, CPVC, and copper piping systems, highly relevant to modern industrial needs.

Different types of insulation materials include

  1. Fiberglass insulation
  2. Mineral or wool insulation
  3. Plastic fiber insulation
  4. Natural fiber insulation

An important consideration when installing insulation materials is to determine suitable thermal insulation values and properties of the material, in addition to the area where installation is to be executed. Therefore, determining the maximum thermal performance of the insulation method is integral to facilitating proper installation.

Fiberglass insulation is a preferred choice for several applications since it offers fire protection in the event of a fire. It can also be applied on unfinished walls, including foundation walls, and on floors and ceilings as well.

 High temperature applications where suitable insulation materials require to be used include

  1. Valves
  2. Expansion joints
  3. Flanges 
  4. Boilers
  5. Furnaces
  6. High Pressure Steam Piping
  7. Heat exchangers
  8. Ovens
  9. Kilns
  10. Turbines
  11. Dryers
  12. Compressors
  13. Incinerators
  14. Chillers
  15. Co-Generation Plants
  16. Industrial Processing Equipment
  17. Catalytic Converters
  18. Exhaust Manifolds
  19. Welding
  20. Heat Treating

Therefore, high temperature insulation materials are to be utilized for these specific applications that require high temperatures. And these reasons are why Morgan Firemaster FastWrap XL would be the ideal high temperature insulation material.
