Question: How to choose the right insulation material?
Reply #22007-12-31
Salt cotton for insulation, polyurethane for Baoleng.

For insulation, materials such as rock wool, glass wool, sepiolite, and silicate products are used; each has a different heat transfer coefficient and density, and is suitable for different applications. Refer to the design specifications for insulation of industrial metal pipes. For cooling purposes, polyurethane plastic is commonly used, available in sheet form or as foam applied on site; there are also other better insulation materials available.

There are many types of thermal insulation materials, and each type comes in different specifications. Among these, the temperature resistance at which the material can be used, its density, and its thermal conductivity are the most important parameters to consider when selecting a material. 1. Organic thermal insulation products, such as various types of foam plastics, have very low thermal conductivity, which gives them excellent insulating properties; however, they cannot be used at high temperatures, usually not above 60 degrees; 2. Inorganic insulation bulk materials such as expanded perlite and foam glass have low thermal conductivity, offering good insulation properties; they can also be used at high temperatures and are relatively inexpensive. However, since they are amorphous substances, they are suitable for use in filling insulation spaces, but not for wrapping around pipes and equipment to provide insulation ; 3. Inorganic fiber insulation materials such as rock wool, glass wool, and aluminum silicate fibers have low thermal conductivity, providing good insulation properties; they can also be used in high-temperature environments. Although they are relatively expensive, they can be made into forms such as fiber cloth or felt, are easy to handle, and are suitable for wrapping around pipes and equipment to provide insulation ; Among them, aluminum silicate fibers have the best high-temperature performance, while rock wool and glass wool tend to shrink and deform under high temperatures, thereby reducing their insulation efficiency ; 4. Recently, phosphate insulation muds have emerged; they are easy to apply on-site and offer a decent level of insulation performance. 1. Fiber materials: mineral products, manufactured goods, products ; 2. Non-polar materials: foam glass products, calcium silicate products, composite aluminum magnesium silicate products, expanded perlite, foam asbestos products ; 3. Organic materials: polyurethane foam, phenolic foam, rubber-plastic sponge, polyethylene foam (commonly known as EPS), polystyrene foam (XPS

What are the properties of high-temperature glass wool?
Reply #62008-01-13
The selection of insulation materials really requires careful consideration!
Reply #72008-01-20
High-temperature glass wool has better performance than rock wool; it simply needs to be used appropriately, as using it at lower temperatures is somewhat wasteful
Reply #82008-01-20
High-temperature glass wool has good performance, but it is less cost-effective
Reply #92008-01-20
High-temperature glass wool is indeed excellent; its performance and effectiveness are better than those of rock wool, though its price is higher than that of rock wool, requiring greater investment

For high temperatures, there are refractory bricks, refractory fiber boards, refractory mortars, etc

I want to know about the properties of perlite insulation materials and how to test those properties What’s the price? Those who have used it please leave a message. Thank you

It cannot be chosen arbitrarily; there are specific regulations
Reply #132008-10-10
Generally, it refers to materials with a thermal conductivity of less than or equal to 0.2. Products such as expanded perlite, expanded vermiculite, slag wool, ultra-fine glass wool, and microporous calcium silicate
