Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized thermal insulation material used in casting mold temperature control cartridge heaters to minimize heat dissipation, maintain precise temperature gradients, and protect surrounding components from excessive thermal exposure. It typically consists of ceramic fibers, mineral wool, or advanced composites with low thermal conductivity and high-temperature stability up to 1200°C.
Working Principle
Works by creating a thermal barrier that reduces conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer from the heater element to the external environment, thereby concentrating heat within the mold cavity and improving thermal efficiency.
Materials
Ceramic fiber (alumina-silica), mineral wool, vermiculite, or high-purity silica with binders; may include reflective metal foils for radiative heat reduction.
Technical Parameters
  • Density 100-300 kg/m³
  • Thickness 10-50 mm
  • Compressive Strength 0.1-0.5 MPa
  • Thermal Conductivity 0.03-0.12 W/m·K
  • Max Operating Temperature 1000-1200°C
Standards
ISO 13787, DIN 4108
