About Selecting Thermal Insulation

Thermally Conductive High-Temperature
Silicone Rubber Sheets

Commonly used in electronics applications, these sheets transfer heat better than any other silicone we offer.

Thermally Conductive High-Temperature
Silicone Foam Sheets

Protect sensitive equipment from heat buildup with this silicone foam. These sheets are commonly used to fill gaps and damp vibration in computers, battery installations, and pipe assemblies.

Circuit Board Coolers

Also known as thermal pads and thermal interface pads, these heat-dissipating pads pull heat away from electronic components.

Thermal Insulation

Humidity-Resistant Paper Insulation Sheets

Often used in high-humidity applications for its low moisture absorption, this flexible paper insulation is made of inorganic materials. It’s typically used in appliances and electrical devices.

Polyurethane Foam Insulation
Sheets with Perforated Facing

The perforated vinyl facing allows moisture to evaporate and resists cracking and fading. These flexible sheets are good for insulating large enclosures.

Acid-Resistant Silica Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

Commonly used in furnaces and engine compartments, these flexible silica fiber sheets resist corrosive acids.

Crack-Resistant Rigid Polyimide Insulation Sheets

Even when subjected to heavy compression, these rigid polyimide sheets won't crack.

Moldable Ceramic Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

Wet these rigid sheets and they become formable. They can be molded multiple times until exposed to heat, which causes them to become rigid again.

Lightweight Melamine Insulation Sheets

The lowest-density insulation we offer, these sheets are made of lightweight melamine foam.

Rigid Silica Ultra-Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

Typically used in ovens and furnaces, these are the most efficient of our rigid high-temperature insulation sheets. Please note that they require special care when installing since the crumbly material is difficult to work with and will crack easily. Sheets lose strength over time and are intended to be installed behind another facing or insulation material.

Thermal-Shock-Resistant Ceramic
Fiber Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

Designed for fluctuating, high-temperature applications, these semi-rigid sheets are typically used in furnaces and fire protection applications. They experience very little shrinkage at high temperatures, but the brittle material can be somewhat difficult to work with.

Abrasion-Resistant Rigid Calcium
Silicate Insulation Sheets

Made of high-strength calcium silicate, these durable sheets withstand high temperatures and are often used in power-generating applications.

Thermally Stable Composite Paper Insulation Sheets

Made of flexible composite paper, these sheets won't shrink or lose shape in the high temperatures of air furnaces and hot water tanks.

Abrasion-Resistant Silicone Foam Insulation Sheets

The fiberglass facing on these flexible silicone foam sheets protects against highly abrasive conditions and resists tearing.

Ultra-Thin Rigid Millboard
Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

Thinner than most rigid insulation for furnaces and other high-heat applications, these millboard sheets are also used for gasket fabrication.

Ceramic Fiber Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

The most common of our flexible high-temperature sheets, these are used to insulate furnaces.

Rigid Mineral Wool Insulation Sheets

These durable sheets resist compression and are often used in oven and power-generating applications.

Fiberglass Insulation Sheets

These lightweight flexible fiberglass sheets are typically used to insulate equipment and appliances.

Ultra-Thin Low-Temperature Aerogel Pipe Insulation

Able to withstand temperatures as low as -290° F, these super-thin, lightweight sheets are made of fiber-reinforced silica aerogel that can flex into tight spaces other insulation can't. Use in process piping and power-generating applications.

Ultra-Thin Aerogel Pipe Insulation

Lightweight and super thin, these fiber-reinforced silica aerogel sheets and strips flex into tight spaces other insulation can't. Use on process piping and in power-generating applications.

Economical Flexible Polyethylene Foam Pipe Insulation

Less flexible than rubber foam, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is typically used in plumbing applications

High-Temperature Ceramic Fiber Pipe Insulation

Shield against extreme heat with these flexible ceramic strips. They are often used to insulate hose, cables, and process piping.

Fiberglass Pipe Insulation

This common insulation material is typically used on hot and cold water lines and in process piping.

Flexible Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation

Soft and easy to install, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is often used on cold and hot water lines and refrigeration lines.

Low-Temperature Rigid Cork Insulation Sheets

Use these sheets in operating temperatures below 32° F, such as cold-storage applications.

Rigid Fiberglass Duct Insulation Sheets

Insulate rectangular ductwork.

Moisture-Resistant Low-Temperature
Rigid Polystyrene Foam Insulation Sheets

These sheets resist the absorption of water, air, and gas and are widely used in cold-storage and packaging applications.

Impact-Resistant Low-Temperature
Rigid PVC Foam Insulation Sheets

Made of rugged PVC foam, these rigid sheets absorb impact and restrict the absorption of water, air, and gas. Use in applications with operating temperatures below 32° F.

Flexible Fiberglass Duct Insulation Sheets

Wrap rectangular and round ductwork with this flexible insulation.

Fiberglass Building Insulation Sheets and Strips

Also known as batts, these fiberglass sheets and strips are used to insulate walls, ceilings, and floors.

Heat-Reflecting Air Bubble Duct Insulation Sheets

Typically used as duct wrap, these flexible sheets consist of polyethylene bubbles covered with aluminum polyester foil that prevent 96% of heat from radiating into or away from duct. Use on rectangular and round ductwork.
