One-direction flexibility
Parallel microporous slats allow the panel to bend across a principal axis and follow cylindrical or conical surfaces.
Directional foldable microporous insulation
SilthermSlatFlex
A glass-cloth panel of parallel microporous slats that bends in one direction around circular and conical equipment.
FormatFoldable slatted panel
Panel size1000 x 600 mm
Thickness range10-50 mm
Classification1000 C
Product advantages
Directional flexibility for cylindrical and conical equipment.
Parallel microporous slats let a large SlatFlex panel bend around pipes and vessels. The glass-cloth envelope keeps it together for clean handling.
Large-area handling
The glass-cloth envelope keeps the slats together as one clean, manageable panel.
Hydrophobic option
A hydrophobic grade is available where contact with water or condensation needs to be considered.
Product construction
Parallel microporous slats contained as one foldable panel.
Made-to-measure slats are encapsulated in glass cloth. Their orientation sets the bending direction and the radius the panel can follow.
