A high temperature insulation manufacturer designs insulation around specific applications. Common applications such as appliances, electrical, furnace and refractory sectors have standard insulation available. Custom designed insulation is also available through manufacturers willing to design around your needs.

Buying from a high temperature insulation distributor allows you to select from ready-to-use materials. Consider the following when looking at any insulation for high temp applications:

1. Look at the temperature range of the high temperature insulation; some as high as 2,800 degrees F are available.

2. Choose a distributor of high temperature insulation based on its rigidity and self-supporting abilities.

3. Learn more about the high temperature insulation online, especially its chemical resistance abilities.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find high temperature insulating foam


High temperature foam insulation is one of the top products available and most in demand for its easy application. Foam also provides one of the most durable surfaces not allowing any air flow when packed correctly.

I recommend: Purchase high temperature insulating foam from companies offering high quality, reliable insulation. Elliott provides foam bunstock for fabricated parts using unfaced polyisocyanurate, which is highly fire resistant and lightweight. Nott offers high temperature insulation using materials like Teflon. Many of their products are heat and cold insulated as needed.

Use high temperature blanket insulation on surfaces requiring it


A variety of options are available for high temperature insulation in blanket form for various applications. Blanket insulation has improved considerably, including providing more resistance to temperature change. It effectively works in a variety of environments providing cold and high temperature protection.

I recommend: Select a high temperature insulation supplier specializing in blanket insulation products. Ohio Valley Industrial Services offers several types of blanket insulation including removable and reusable insulation or permanent insulation. Thermal Ceramics offers a number of products for high temperature use and refractory products. Their lines of high temperature blanket products include Cerablanket ceramic fibers and Kaowool.

Investigate options in high temperature insulation coating for industrial use


Buy industrial high temperature insulation meeting safety requirements and extreme temperatures. Heat and cold insulation is available for industrial use in industries like automotive, avionics, lighting and manufacturing.

I recommend: Invest in industrial materials as needed including high temperature urethane insulation. Pacific States Felt & Manufacturing specializes in polyurethane materials including high temperature insulation. Unifrax specializes in custom required high temperature insulation with temperature resistance up to 2,800 degrees F for industrial needs. Their insulation provides sound absorption, thermal shock protection and meets chemical resistance requirements.

Tips & Tactics
