Features:
- Excellent Thermal Insulation: Low thermal conductivity (0.043 W/m·K at 10°C) ensures efficient energy conservation.
- 100% Waterproof & Vaporproof: Closed-cell structure prevents moisture absorption and vapor transmission.
- Non-Combustible & Fireproof: Class A1 non-combustible material, safe for fire-rated applications.
- Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for cryogenic to high-temperature applications (-268°C to +482°C).
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
- Dimensional Stability: Does not shrink, swell, or deform under thermal cycling or moisture exposure.
- Pest & Mold Resistant: Does not support growth of mold, fungi, or rodents.
- Environmentally Friendly: Made from recycled glass, free from asbestos, CFCs, and fibers.
- Easy to Fabricate & Install: Can be cut, shaped, and installed with standard tools.
Available Forms & Sizes:
