Microporous ceramic fiber board manufactured by Ravani Ceramics are designed for insulation purpose for high-temperature applications. These boards have high compressive strength and they are covered with aluminium foil or glass fiber cloth. Its mineral structure is designed for applications where lowest shrinkage upto temperature of 1000 °C is required.

Because of the most advanced technology used for manufacturing of these boards, the thermal shock handling property of this board is extremely good. It’s thermal conductivity coefficient is also very low which makes it an excellent insulation material even if the thickness is very less. As it can provide insulation at low thickness as compared to other insulation boards, it occupies less space and implies less weight in the application in which it is used.

Ravani Ceramics manufacture two variants of this board. One is water receptive and the other is water resistant. The water resistant variant has the water resistance properties throughout its entire volume. It can stay resistant to water at a temperature of 250 °C. However, the moisture in the surrounding environment does affect the performance of any of the two variants.

These boards are also known as Microporous Nano Thermal Insulation Board and also as Ultra Plus Panels.

Key Features

  1. High Temperature Resistance:
    These boards are capable of withstanding very high temperatures, making them suitable for applications where traditional insulating materials might fail.
  2. Low Thermal Conductivity:
    Microporous ceramic fiber boards typically have low thermal conductivity, meaning they can effectively reduce heat transfer and provide insulation.
  3. Lightweight:
    These boards are often lightweight, which makes them easy to handle and install.
  4. Microporous Structure:
    The term “microporous” indicates the presence of small pores or voids within the material. This structure contributes to enhanced insulation properties.
  5. Chemical Resistance:
    Many microporous ceramic fiber boards exhibit resistance to certain chemicals, adding to their versatility in various environments.
  6. Low Heat Storage:
    The low heat storage capacity of these boards means that they heat up and cool down relatively quickly.
