Molten metal processing equipment representing demanding industrial thermal applications

Markets and applications

Thermal performance built around the equipment.

Siltherm insulation works inside the equipment, where heat loss, usable space and service life are decided.

Support longer asset lifeReduce energy loss and emissionsLower maintenance demand

Choose the application route

Start with the system boundary, then match the insulation format.

Begin with the equipment and the surface that must be protected. The market routes below lead to the Siltherm formats suited to that duty.

01

Battery and e-mobility

Manage heat transfer where space, safety and mechanics converge.

Battery protection changes with the barrier location. Siltherm develops thin formats for cell, module and pack boundaries, including designs that must also accommodate compression.

02

High-temperature industries

Place the insulation where each process needs it.

Steel, aluminium and glass equipment place different demands on the insulation. Start with the hot surface, the boundary to protect and the space between them.

Ferrous metals and process heat

Iron, steel and process equipment

Compact insulation fits behind refractory linings, around process lines and inside difficult equipment voids.

Typical applications
  • Furnaces, ladles and tundishes
  • Steam, oil, gas and hot-air pipework
  • Reformers, cracking furnaces and retained cavities

Typical applications
  • Forehearths and feeder bowls
  • Launders and transfer sections
  • Tempering and process furnaces
Relevant Siltherm formats
03

Cold-chain and buildings

Protect usable space while controlling heat gain and loss.

Vacuum and microporous insulation concentrate thermal resistance in a shallow envelope, leaving more room for payload, storage or floor area.

Cold-chain logistics

Temperature-controlled distribution

Slim insulation that protects usable volume while reducing heat ingress across controlled packaging, transport and storage systems.

Typical applications
  • Pharmaceutical and biotech packaging
  • Refrigerated transport
  • Cold-storage and distribution equipment

Building envelope

Building and construction

Thin insulation for constrained junctions and envelope details, helping reduce heat transfer without sacrificing usable space.

Typical applications
  • Flat roofs and terraces
  • Floors, walls and facade details
  • Attic hatches and thermal junctions
Relevant Siltherm formats
04

Passive thermal protection

Control heat across the surfaces that separate systems.

From data-centre equipment to fire-rated doors, the insulation belongs at a defined interface. Select the material around the thermal duty, available space and complete assembly requirements.

Why Siltherm

Turn thermal performance into lifecycle value.

Siltherm combines low-conductivity materials with product forms that fit the equipment. The result is a practical route to lower heat loss and longer service life.

Lower energy and carbon intensity

High thermal resistance helps limit avoidable heat transfer, energy demand and the associated operating emissions.

Longer service intervals

Controlling thermal stress and protecting adjacent components can support longer equipment and lining life.

Lower lifetime cost

Compact, equipment-matched formats can simplify integration and reduce the maintenance burden across the service life.

Performance matched to the application

Low-conductivity technologies are selected around the equipment geometry, operating duty and required validation.
