Thermal insulation is a versatile term but principally covers the subject of control the loss of heat energy. This energy loss can be controlled with the help of naturally available minerals processed to suit a particular application. The minerals are Glass, Ceramic and Silica. Various forms of above materials are manipulated / processed and treated, with synthetic /organic additives or coating help the materials to perform in most critical applications.
These materials are used in various applications like
1. Insulation of high temperature furniture’s
- 2. File protection in ship building and aviation, welding blankets/curtains/protective shielding or few applications.
These materials have low conductivity, high resistance to thermal shock and are inert to majority of chemicals and resistance to acids of high conceptations and also offer resistance to weak alkalis of modern metals and alloys.
