Microtherm Group FreeFlow Pourable Opacified Silica Thermal Insulation Beads
Categories:	Ceramic; Oxide; Silicon Oxide; Other Engineering Material
Material Notes:	Microtherm® granules for high temperature are a pourable microporous insulation with flow characteristics that make them ideal for the filling of closed objects of complex shape. Microtherm® granules for high temperature offer microporous insulation performance for applications where conventional insulation products simply cannot be used. Properties Formulation based on opacified silica. Capable of continuous exposure to 1000 °C (1832 °F). Up to 3 or 4 times more thermally efficient at high temperatures than conventional insulations. Suitable for automated feeding of complex shapes Environmentally safe. Free of harmful respirable fibers. Applications Small fuel cells and reformers. Void insulation in furnaces, burners and refractory systems. Void insulation for domestic appliances. Any high temperature application where insulation in the form of conventional panel or block cannot be used. Information provided by Microtherm.
