Brief of MIP-950 Microporous Board
MIP-950 Microporous Board is a standard-grade, high-performance insulation product made from 7-12 nm gaseous silica. It delivers 3-6 times better insulation compared to traditional materials like calcium silicate and ceramic fibers, ensuring superior energy efficiency and heat management. The microporous structure effectively reduces heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation, making it ideal for high-temperature industrial applications.
MIP-950 is commonly used in metallurgy, glass furnaces, ceramic kilns, and steel ladles, providing stable, long-lasting insulation in environments up to 950°C.

What makes microporous board thermal conductivity lower than still air?
Microporous boards utilize their distinctive nanoporous structure and the combined effects of multiple additives to effectively minimize heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation over a broad temperature range. This exceptional performance puts them ahead of traditional insulation materials like mineral wool, perlite, insulating bricks, calcium silicate, ceramic fibers, and even aerogel blankets. In many temperature ranges, microporous boards has a thermal conductivity lower than that of still air.
Key characteristics and advantages of microporous boards include:
- Nanoscopic Structure: The tiny particle size reduces surface contact, drastically cutting down heat transfer via conduction.
- Nanoporous Design: With pore sizes around 20nm, gas molecules are trapped, virtually eliminating internal convection.
- Infrared Blocking: The addition of infrared-reflective powders blocks and reflects radiant heat, especially at high temperatures, further decreasing heat transfer.
These combined attributes make microporous materials highly efficient for thermal insulation, delivering unmatched performance in a variety of industrial and high-temperature environments.
