What is Microporous Board?
A microporous board is an advanced insulation material with a unique nanoporous structure designed to limit heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. Constructed from ultra-fine silica, this board achieves thermal conductivity lower than that of static air, offering 3-6 times the insulation efficiency of standard materials like perlite, mineral wool, and calcium silicate. With its lightweight and thin profile, microporous boards provide effective insulation in high-temperature applications, making them ideal for demanding industries such as glass, steel, and aluminum. Additionally, these boards are non-toxic and eco-friendly, providing a safe and sustainable choice for insulation.

Molding Method
Microporous boards are molded using machine press molding (primarily for boards):
- Unlike bricks, microporous boards require no drying or sintering.
- After pressing, the boards can be cut to meet various size specifications.
- For glass fiber cloth-covered types, there are two production methods:
a. The powder is placed into a fiberglass bag and then pressed, resulting in cambered edges.
b. After pressing and molding, the boards are wrapped and cut, creating right-angle edges.
What makes microporous board thermal conductivity lower than still air?
Microporous boards stand out for their specialized nanoporous structure and the combined effect of targeted additives that limit heat transfer via conduction, convection, and radiation over broad temperature ranges. These properties set microporous board apart from traditional materials such as mineral wool, perlite, calcium silicate, and aerogel felts. Notably, microporous board often achieves thermal conductivity lower than static air, offering superior insulation.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Nanoscopic Structure: The small particle size reduces contact area, greatly decreasing conduction.
- Nanoporous Composition: Pore diameters around 20nm trap gases effectively, blocking internal convection.
- Anti-Infrared Capabilities: Infrared-blocking powders reflect radiation, significantly cutting heat transfer at high temperatures.
These attributes make microporous materials highly efficient for thermal insulation, providing exceptional performance in industrial and high-heat applications.
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.
