Microtherm Microporous Insulation Panels

Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity Microporous Insulation Panels for High-Temperature Applications

Space-Saving Thermal Insulation Solutions for Industrial Processes and Extreme Temperature Environments

Microtherm® Panel is a range of advanced microporous insulation panels engineered to deliver exceptional thermal performance where space, energy efficiency and temperature control are critical. Manufactured from an opacified blend of filament-reinforced pyrogenic silica and supplied within a durable glass cloth envelope, Microtherm Panels provide thermal conductivity levels significantly lower than conventional high-temperature insulation materials.

Designed for applications requiring maximum thermal resistance within minimal insulation thickness, Microtherm Panels help reduce heat loss, lower surface temperatures and improve energy efficiency across a wide range of industrial processes. Their lightweight construction, high thermal stability and custom-manufactured format make them ideal for demanding thermal management applications.

Available in standard, hydrophobic and high-temperature grades, the Microtherm Panel range provides tailored solutions for heavy industry, petrochemical processing, OEM manufacturing and advanced thermal systems.
