Microtherm High Temperature Insulation Panels

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

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

Microtherm® Panel is a range of high-performance microporous insulation panels engineered to deliver exceptionally low thermal conductivity in applications where space, energy efficiency and temperature control are critical. Manufactured from an opacified blend of filament-reinforced pyrogenic silica and supplied in a durable glass cloth envelope, Microtherm Panels provide industry-leading thermal performance in a lightweight, easy-to-handle format.

Designed for applications requiring maximum thermal resistance within minimal thickness, Microtherm Panels are widely specified where strict heat loss targets, reduced surface temperatures and compact insulation designs are essential. Their unique microporous structure delivers thermal conductivity levels significantly lower than conventional insulation materials at elevated temperatures.

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