9. Our Technology

Microporous insulation is based on nano-
Microtherm, The expert in thermal solutions
structured sub-micron synthetic amorphous
silica („SAS“) and other environmentally safe
materials.
Long “chains” of SAS particles help to keep
thermal
solid heat conduction to a minimum.
Spaces in the structure smaller than the mean
free path of an air molecule eliminate most of
the gaseous heat conduction.
Mineral oxide opacifiers effectively block
infra red radiation.
10. • Very low thermal conductivity

• Very high thermal resistance
Microtherm, The expert in thermal solutions
• Most effective high temperature
insulation
Microtherm® is more
than 4 X better than
thermal
Ceramic Fibre and
conventional insulations
Microtherm® is 2 to 3 X better
than Aerogel blanket and has
a much higher temperature
capability

21. Microtherm® and the environment
Our environment is - to a large extent - what we make it. We share global
concerns regarding the effects of greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting
climatic changes.
Microtherm® understands the imperative need for a low carbon energy future
and will therefore help you to control your energy consumption through ...
• most effective insulation available
• harmless to the environment ( ‘Green material’)
Let us help you to act now to preserve this environment for future generations.
