【Summary】 Sanhe Nano Insulation Board provides ultra-low thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, and energy-saving solutions for cement kilns, aluminum electrolysis, steel, and battery thermal protection applications.

Introduction

With increasing global demand for energy conservation, carbon reduction, and improved thermal efficiency, industries operating under extreme temperatures are continuously searching for more advanced insulation technologies.

Traditional insulation materials such as ceramic fiber, calcium silicate board, and lightweight refractory materials often face challenges including high thermal conductivity, large installation thickness, and performance degradation after long-term exposure to high temperatures.

Nano insulation boards (Microporous Insulation Boards)represent a new generation of high-performance thermal insulation materials. Through advanced nano-microporous technology, they provide extremely low thermal conductivity, excellent temperature resistance, and superior dimensional stability, helping industrial equipment reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.


What Is Nano Microporous Insulation Board?

Nano insulation board is an advanced inorganic thermal insulation material manufactured through nano-scale pore structure technology.

The internal microporous structure effectively suppresses the three major heat transfer methods:

  • Thermal conduction
  • Thermal convection
  • Thermal radiation

By limiting gas molecule movement inside nano-scale pores and blocking infrared radiation, the material achieves outstanding thermal resistance performance.

Compared with conventional insulation materials, nano insulation boards can achieve the same insulation effect with significantly reduced thickness, making them ideal for applications where installation space is limited.


Key Advantages of Sanhe Nano Insulation Board

1. Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity

One of the biggest advantages of nano insulation boards is their extremely low thermal conductivity.

Typical performance:

Thermal conductivity at room temperature: approximately 0.020 W/(m·K)

Thermal conductivity at 800°C: approximately 0.032 W/(m·K)

Compared with traditional insulation materials, heat transfer can be reduced significantly, improving overall equipment thermal efficiency.


2. High Temperature Resistance

Sanhe nano insulation boards are designed for demanding high-temperature environments.

Depending on different models:

SH950:

Continuous operating temperature: up to 950°C

Peak temperature resistance: up to 1200°C

SH1150:

Long-term service temperature: up to 1050°C

Excellent passive fire protection performance

These properties make nano insulation boards suitable for furnaces, kilns, industrial heating equipment, and thermal protection systems.


3. Thin Design, Space Saving

Compared with conventional insulation materials, nano insulation boards provide superior insulation performance with much smaller thickness.

Typical comparison:

ItemTraditional InsulationSanhe Nano Insulation Board
Required thickness100 mm20–30 mm
Space savingMore than 70%
Thermal conductivity at 600°C0.15–0.25 W/(m·K)<0.027 W/(m·K)

This advantage is especially valuable in equipment upgrades, compact furnace structures, and industrial retrofit projects.


Applications of Nano Insulation Boards

1. Cement Industry

In cement production, rotary kilns and thermal processing equipment operate continuously at temperatures above 1000°C.

Heat loss from kiln shells directly affects:

Fuel consumption

Production efficiency

Equipment lifespan

Nano insulation boards are widely used in:

Kiln hoods

Kiln tails

Preheaters

Calciners

Tertiary air ducts

Clinker coolers

Practical applications show that nano insulation boards can reduce equipment surface temperature, improve heat recovery efficiency, and reduce thermal losses.


2. Aluminum Electrolysis Industry

Aluminum smelting requires reliable thermal insulation systems capable of resisting high temperatures and harsh chemical environments.

Nano insulation boards and vermiculite insulation materials are used in:

Electrolytic cell insulation systems

Furnace thermal barriers

High-temperature equipment insulation

For aluminum electrolytic cells, vermiculite insulation boards provide excellent resistance against fluoride and cryolite electrolyte penetration while maintaining stable thermal insulation performance.


3. Steel and Metallurgical Industry

Steel production equipment experiences extreme thermal cycling and significant heat loss.

Nano microporous insulation materials are applied in:

Steel ladles

Tundish systems

Torpedo ladles

Reheating furnaces

Benefits include:

Reduced shell temperature

Lower heat loss

Improved energy efficiency

Extended refractory service life

For example, nano insulation materials applied in steel ladles have demonstrated shell temperature reductions of approximately 80–100°C in practical applications.


4. New Energy and Battery Industry

With the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, thermal safety has become increasingly important.

Nano insulation materials are used for:

Battery thermal protection

Energy storage systems (ESS/BESS)

Thermal barriers between battery cells

Sanhe nano insulation pads help reduce heat transfer between battery cells, delay thermal propagation, and improve system safety.
