  • Easy to handle
  • Excellent machinability
  • No harmful respirable fibres
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Resistant to most chemicals
PROMALIGHT® : TECHNICAL DATA SHEET - ENGLISH

Microporous insulation boards for ceramics manufacture

The PROMALIGHT® range of products is available in various coverings (PE foil & Aluminium). As an option, a reinforcement mica layer can be applied on both sides. This M-series increases the compressive strength by around 30% and improves handling.

PROMALIGHT®-1000R has a similar thermal performance as PROMALIGHT®-1000X but contains no silicon carbide (often required in glass industry).

PROMALIGHT® boards can be shaped both manually and with stationary wood processing machinery. They can be cut, sawn, drilled and punched. The boards can be fi xed in place with glue or by mechanical means such as anchors, pins and clips.

Typical applications
< #Back#
Microporous insulation offers an extremely low thermal conductivity, close to the lowest theoretically possible at high temperatures. Microporous materials are the preferred choice when a large temperature reduction is required within a limited space, or when strict heat loss or surface temperature requirements are specified.

  • Back-up insulation in industrial furnaces
  • Aluminium industry (launders, holding & smelter furnace, …)
  • Glass & ceramics industry
  • Petrochemical industry (cracking furnace, hydrogen reformer, …)
  • Fuel cells (SOFC)
  • Thermal batteries
  • Data loggers (protection of electronic components)
  • Black box & VDR (Voyage Data Recorder) for air, rail, and marine
