Brief of Microporous Insulation Granules

Microporous Insulation Granules: Designed to effectively fill irregular spaces and challenging gaps, these granules deliver outstanding thermal management, especially in applications where traditional insulation methods are inadequate. Their fine, flexible structure allows them to adapt seamlessly to uneven surfaces, providing full insulation coverage that minimizes heat loss and boosts energy efficiency.

Their versatility makes these granules ideal for applications requiring precise insulation in complex geometries or as an extra layer of thermal control alongside other insulation materials. By maintaining consistent temperatures even in demanding environments, microporous granules are a reliable choice for optimized thermal performance.

Application of Microporous Insulation Granules

Steel and Metallurgy: Ideal for ladles, tundishes, and reheat furnaces, where consistent insulation reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.
Glass Manufacturing: Widely applied in feeder kit, channel, melting tanks, regenerators, and annealing lehrs, where high thermal efficiency and stability are critical.
Aluminum Processing: Used in holding and melting furnaces, microporous boards enhance heat retention, optimizing energy use and reducing operational costs.
Cement Industry: Essential for rotary kilns, preheaters, and coolers, helping to maintain controlled temperatures and improve kiln efficiency.
Petrochemical and Power Generation: Commonly used in reactors, reformers, and power station boilers to ensure stable insulation in highly reactive and high-temperature processes.

What makes Microporous Panel Thermal Conductivity Lower Than Still Air?

Microporous insulation products leverage their unique nanoporous structure and the synergistic effects of various additives to remarkably inhibit heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation across a wide range of temperatures. This superior performance positions them ahead of traditional insulation materials such as mineral wool, perlite, insulating bricks, calcium silicate, and ceramic fibers, as well as aerogel felts. Notably, in most temperature ranges, the thermal conductivity of microporous insulation products is lower than that of static air.

Key features and benefits of microporous insulation materials include:

  • Nanoscopic Structure: The small particle size reduces contact area, significantly decreasing heat transfer via conduction.
  • Nanoporous Composition: Pore diameters around 20nm effectively trap gas molecules, virtually eliminating internal convection.
  • Anti-Infrared Properties: Incorporation of anti-infrared powders blocks and reflects infrared radiation, especially effective at high temperatures, further reducing heat transfer.

These combined properties make microporous materials exceptionally efficient for thermal insulation, offering unparalleled performance across various industrial and high-temperature applications.
