  • LIGHTWEIGHT INSULATION MATERIALS HT

    LIGHTWEIGHT INSULATION MATERIALS HT

    Heat-insulating refractories are used for refractory lining and insulation to concentrate heat energy and reduce its flow, thereby reducing energy losses. They utilize the phenomenon of heat radiation shielding, low conductivity and low heat capacity resulting from high porosity. Porosityof lightweight insulation materials reaches 90%. Higher porosity allows for better thermal insulation but, on the other hand, leads to lower mechanical strength and increased gas permeability.
