Excellent Insulation Performance
Due to operational or cost control reasons, certain parts of factory equipment often require insulation effects. Glastherm® insulation composite materials are designed specifically for this purpose. Made from fiberglass-reinforced composite materials, they are sturdy, high-temperature resistant, and long-lasting, thereby offering advantages in cost control and process engineering.
Reduced Energy Expenses
Glastherm® insulation composites' extremely low thermal conductivity contributes to their high insulation performance, thereby reducing the energy consumption and expenses of equipment.
Ensuring High Yield and Quality Products
Glastherm® thermal insulation composite materials aid in achieving effective temperature control for your equipment, leading to consistent working temperatures and, consequently, high product yield and quality.
Shorter Preheat Times
The continuous insulation performance of Glastherm® insulation composites can shorten the heating time of equipment. They effectively reduce heat loss during operation, meaning your production equipment requires less heating time, thus preserving more available energy capacity.
Long-Term Low Maintenance Costs
Even at very high working temperatures, Glastherm® insulation composites exhibit high resistance as well as shape and dimensional stability, requiring almost no maintenance and effectively reducing the costs of maintaining factories and equipment.
Easy to Process
Glastherm® insulation composites can be easily cut and processed using standard metalworking tools. For relatively large amounts of processing work, the use of diamond cutting machines is recommended.
Superior Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical Properties
All Glastherm® insulation composites possess excellent chemical resistance, very good electrical insulation performance, and good mechanical and dynamic strength.
Main Applications
- Wood and plastic hydraulic presses
- Tool and mold structures
