What is MIP-E Series Microporous Board?
MIP-E Series Microporous Board is manufactured using carefully selected inorganic nano-scale refractory powders and formed by a proprietary fully-automated dry pressing process. This results in a board with a nano-scale microporous structure that effectively blocks all three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. While maintaining the ultra-low thermal conductivity characteristic of traditional microporous insulation, the MIP-E series offers enhanced cost-efficiency — providing a new solution for industrial furnaces that require both thermal performance and budget optimization.
Firebird MIP-E Series Economy Microporous Board has been widely applied in China’s cement and aluminum industries. Its excellent energy-saving performance and cost-effectiveness have delivered proven value to our customers. Now, Firebird is introducing this series to the global market — providing industrial kiln users with a reliable and economical alternative for thermal insulation.

What makes microporous board thermal conductivity lower than still air?
Microporous boards are engineered with a unique nanoporous structure that, combined with specific additives, significantly minimizes heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation across diverse temperature ranges. This high-performance insulation surpasses traditional materials like mineral wool, perlite, calcium silicate, ceramic fibers, and even advanced options like aerogel felts. Remarkably, the thermal conductivity of microporous board often falls below that of static air at most operating temperatures.
Advantages of Microporous Board:
- Nanoscopic Structure: Small particle size reduces contact, lowering heat conduction.
- Nanoporous Composition: Tiny pores (around 20nm) trap gases, nearly eliminating internal convection.
- Anti-Infrared Properties: Specialized powders block infrared radiation, further limiting heat transfer in high-temperature settings.
These characteristics make microporous materials ideal for industrial applications, offering exceptional thermal insulation and reliability in extreme environments.
Multiple Surface Covering Choices
Depending on factors like product type, operating temperature, handling requirements, and environmental conditions, microporous boards are available with various standard covering materials. These include:
– Aluminum Foil Covering
– Aluminum Foil Cloth Covering
– POF (Polyolefin) Film Covering
– Non-woven Fabric Covering
– Fiberglass Cloth Covering
Each covering material is chosen to suit specific application needs, ensuring optimal performance and durability in diverse industrial and operational settings.
