Rigid microporous insulation

SilthermBoard

A rigid board format built for flat, shaped and machined thermal boundaries.

Siltherm Board is a rigid microporous insulation format for flat linings and converted components. Grade and thickness are selected for the operating duty.

Siltherm Board rigid microporous insulation formats with different surface finishes

Material and surface state

Core, covering and geometry define the supplied board.

The reinforced microporous core provides the insulation. Optional coverings and machining prepare the board for the way it will be handled and installed.

CORE

Reinforced microporous matrix

An opacified blend of pyrogenic silica with dispersed filament reinforcement forms one rigid insulation core matrix.

RAW

Without encapsulation

Available without encapsulation for applications where handling, environment and installation controls are defined.

GF / PE

Glass-fleece or polyethylene covering

Glass-fleece and polyethylene coverings support different handling and interface requirements.

ALU

Aluminium-foil covering

An aluminium-foil covering is available for constructions that benefit from a metallic surface layer.

Geometry development

Shape the board for the equipment boundary.

Siltherm Board can be cut, shaped, drilled or punched with conventional tools or automated machinery. The conversion route is chosen around the required component geometry.

01

Cut and shape

Flat blanks, edge profiles and defined outlines

02

Saw and drill

Machined dimensions, holes and penetrations

03

Punch

Repeatable openings within a reviewed process

04

Fix

Install with suitable adhesive, retaining pins or anchors

Thermal performance

Thermal conductivity across the temperature range.

ASTM C177 data describes the Grade 1000 microporous core at the stated mean temperatures. Installed performance is then checked against the final board layout.
