What makes microporous board thermal conductivity lower than still air?
Microporous boards are designed with a nanoporous structure and work in synergy with various additives to inhibit heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. Their performance surpasses conventional materials like mineral wool, insulating bricks, and aerogel felts. In many temperature ranges, microporous insulation’s thermal conductivity is even lower than static air, making it highly effective.
Features and Benefits:
- Nanoscopic Particles: Reduces conduction by decreasing surface contact.
- Nanoporous Structure: Traps gases to stop convection inside the material.
- Anti-Infrared Technology: Blocks infrared radiation, reducing heat transfer in high-temperature environments.
These advantages position microporous insulation as the superior choice for industries requiring efficient thermal insulation.
