Aluminum Industry

Microporous Panels is a rigid, high integrity Microporous Board offering superior insulation properties combined with good handleability. Produced from an opacified blend of pyrogenic silica with a filament reinforcement, this board is available in a 1000 grade, in a raw state (ie no encapsulation) or enhanced in a variety of coverings, such as glass fibre or aluminium encapsulation. Features and Benefits.
