Superior Thermal Insulation Offered by New Product
Promat GmbH (Ratingen, Germany), part of the world's largest calcium silicate producer Etex Group, has launched a brand new product group, designated PROMALIGHT. This is described as a microporous thermal insulation board consisting of vermiculite surfaces on both sides and an integrated microporous core.
The new product is claimed to be unique; it combines the positive aspects of vermiculite with the superior thermal insulation properties of microporous materials. Microporous materials are preferred for applications where a large reduction in temperature is required within a limited space, for example in industrial furnace construction and for ceramic kilns.
PROMALIGHT is said to consist of materials which are harmless with regard to working hygiene and it is not subject to any classification in this regard. For the production of this material, Promat has installed its own new production plant in Kapelle-op-den-Bos, close to Brussels in Belgium.
