High Performance Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulation is used to reduce heat transfer and improve temperature control. It may also be used in conjunction with thermal management technologies, which work to dissipate heat. Depending on the application, it can help achieve a variety of goals including reducing energy costs and increasing safety. Common insulation materials include fiberglass, mineral wool, and cellulose.
“High performance” thermal insulation refers to advanced insulating materials that are used in extreme temperatures and applications. If you are looking for an industrial-strength insulation solution, you likely require high performance insulation. Popular high performance insulation materials include aerogel and vacuum insulation.
One of the highest performing thermal insulation materials is vacuum insulation. Traditionally, vacuum insulation has mostly been used with cold or cryogenic applications. Insulon® technology represents advancements in vacuum insulation, enabling this powerful insulator to be used in high temperature applications as well.
