Our focus is on industrial insulation in order to sustainably increase efficiency and process reliability in your production. This in-depth specialist knowledge ensures that we offer you competent and practice-oriented support that will lead your projects to success safely and economically.
Insulation technology plays a central role in almost all technical processes:
Thermal insulation: Use of high-performance materials for heat conduction control in manufacturing processes.
Electrical insulation: Protection and targeted control of electrical currents in machines and systems.
Energy management: Minimizing energy losses and reducing operating costs in production.
Protection of sensitive components: Avoidance of thermal or electrical loads in sensitive system components.
Thermal and electrical insulation technology are indispensable components of modern industrial processes. They not only enable technical processes to be carried out and stabilized, but also make a significant contribution to reducing energy consumption and ensuring process reliability.
Thermal insulation is used to retain process heat, minimize energy losses and protect system components from overheating. Electrical insulation limits the flow of current to live parts, protects the environment and increases the operational safety of your systems.
Modern insulating materials such as thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers, technical ceramics and glass are characterized by high electrical resistance (≥ 10¹⁰ Ω-cm), excellent dielectric strength, low water absorption and high mechanical strength. They ensure safe operation even under demanding thermal and electrical conditions.
In mechanical and plant engineering, there are often combined requirements for thermal and electrical insulation, which are also associated with mechanical loads. Insulation technology protects:
System components such as electronics and hydraulics from thermal stress
Employees in the handling area through occupational safety
Systems against electric flashovers and sparking
Fiber composites, in particular glass fiber reinforced plastics (GRP), as well as high-temperature materials based on calcium silicates, mica or cement are tried and tested materials in insulation technology. Components are mainly machined from semi-finished products, which enables the production of complex geometries.
Insulation technology requires materials and solutions that meet the following requirements:
Long-term resistance at application temperature
Low settling behavior under operating conditions
Resistance to static and dynamic pressure loads
Chemical, media and oil resistance
Manufacturability of complex 3D components
