In modern high-temperature industries, energy efficiency and operational safety have long been major challenges faced by enterprises. Traditional insulation materials can meet basic requirements to some extent; however,with the continuous advancement of industrial technologies, their limitations have become increasingly evident. As a new generation of thermal insulation material, nano microporous insulation boards, with their outstanding performance and broad application potential, are rapidly emerging as a preferred solution for high-temperature industrial applications.
What is a Nano Microporous Insulation Board?
A nano microporous insulation board is a new type of thermal insulation material manufactured using nanotechnology. Its core principle lies in the nano-scale microporous structure, which effectively blocks heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. Under medium- to high-temperature conditions, this microscopic structure allows the board to achieve a thermal conductivity as low as 0.02–0.025 W/(m·K), significantly lower than traditional insulation materials such as mineral wool (0.13–0.2 W/(m·K)) or calcium silicate boards (0.15–0.18 W/(m·K)).
Nano microporous insulation boards are usually composed of nano-silica or other nano-materials and formed through special processes. These materials not only feature extremely low thermal conductivity but also possess excellent high-temperature resistance, with operational temperature ranges from 600 °C to 1200 °C, while certain specialized formulations can withstand even higher temperatures.
Core Technological Advantages of Nano Microporous Insulation Boards
Significant Energy Savings
Nano microporous insulation boards have a thermal conductivity only 20–30% of traditional insulation boards, providing superior thermal insulation at the same thickness. For high-temperature industrial equipment, this translates into substantial reductions in energy costs. Practical data shows that using nano microporous insulation boards can reduce furnace and kiln heat loss by 20–40%, demonstrating highly significant energy-saving performance.
Reduced Structural Load
Nano microporous insulation boards provide superior thermal insulation at the same thickness while having a much lower density than traditional refractory bricks. Their thinner profile not only saves space within the furnace but also reduces the structural load on equipment, thereby lowering infrastructure and installation costs.
Environmentally Friendly and Non-Polluting
Nano microporous insulation boards are made from inorganic materials and contain no harmful substances such as asbestos, meeting environmental protection standards. During both production and use, they do not release toxic gases, making them environmentally friendly and an ideal choice for green manufacturing.
