The Promat HPI selection of calcium silicate products can be simply sub-divided into low, medium, or high density insulation products. Each product category has quite distinct properties and advantages.
High performance calcium silicates
Low density calcium silicate boards are very efficient insulating products. They have a low thermal conductivity which leads to low heat losses.
The very light insulation systems also reduce the heat storage of the lining. These materials are stable up to 1050 °C and classified as A1, non-combustible according to EN 13501-1 and building material class DIN 4102.
Low density calcium silicates are the “classic” back-up insulation in combination with dense refractories, insulating bricks and castables for a broad range of applications. They are very cost effective due to their price/performance in comparison with other insulating products.

- PROMALUX®
Structural calcium silicates
Medium density structural calcium silicate products from Promat are asbestos free thermal insulators that can be used as functional supporting components in a construction.
They are versatile materials combining good thermal insulation, high thermal stability and structural integrity within a wide range of temperatures up to 1000 °C. They are the preferred choice for high performance mechanical insulation in harsh industrial environments in a wide variety of industrial sectors.

Technical calcium silicates
These insulating technical ‘ceramics’ are engineered high density calcium silicate boards, originally developed to be a high temperature replacement for asbestos boards. Due to their very high mechanical strength and electrical resistance combined with minimal shrinkage they are generally preferred for applications up to 1000 °C where good electrical resistance is required.

Composite insulation boards
PROMATHERM
®-VE composite elements consist of an insulating core material which is covered by either steel sheets or thin PROMATECT®-H boards.
DURASTEEL
® is a composite insulating board made of a calcium silicate core reinforced on both sides by galvanised and perforated steel sheet coverings.
