- Flexible Design: Perfect for wrapping around irregular or curved surfaces.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint.
- Easy Installation: Simple to cut and install, available in custom shapes.
- Eco-Friendly: Safe, non-toxic material with long service life.


Applications of MIP-1050 Flex Microporous Board
- Petrochemical, Gas, and Power Plants: Ideal for process piping, high-temperature pipe supports, and insulation jackets for pipes and valves.
- Transportation: Used in heat shields and insulation systems for cars, ships, trains, and aerospace industries.
- Industrial Furnace Insulation: Provides backup insulation materials for various industrial furnace types.
- Fire Protection: Effective for jet fire protection of steel pipes, fire barriers and shutters, electric cable insulation, air ducts, and fire-rated shutters and curtains.
These applications ensure safety, efficiency, and performance across industries.
What makes Flex Microporous Board Thermal Conductivity Lower Than Still Air?
Microporous boards leverage their unique nanoporous structure and the combined effects of specialized additives to significantly reduce heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation across a wide temperature range. This advanced performance surpasses that of traditional materials such as mineral wool, perlite, insulating bricks, calcium silicate, ceramic fibers, and even aerogel blankets. In many temperature ranges, microporous insulation achieves a thermal conductivity lower than still air.
Key Features and Advantages of Microporous Board:
- Nanoscopic Structure: The small particle size minimizes surface contact, drastically reducing heat transfer via conduction.
- Nanoporous Design: With pore sizes around 20nm, gas molecules are trapped, nearly eliminating internal convection.
- Infrared Blocking: The addition of infrared-reflective powders helps block and reflect radiant heat, particularly at high temperatures, further reducing heat transfer.
These combined features make microporous board a highly efficient solution for thermal insulation, offering unparalleled performance in industrial and high-temperature applications.
