Thermal insulation solutions

Optimised high-temperature insulation solutions will often require a combined, multi-faceted approach. At Elmelin, we offer specialised consultancy and thermal design services, where we strategically apply different composite materials and processes to achieve the best result for your application.

We guide ideas from conceptual design to rigorous prototyping, and then design a process for manufacturing the finished product. Typically, the product design combines various high-temperature insulation solutions, ensuring that the end product meets all specifications while adhering to the highest safety and quality standards.

Many aspects of thermal management across industries rely on composite insulation, often combining microporous high-temperature insulation with ceramics or mica.

Finding high-temperature insulation solutions

Elmelin has developed a wide range of products by listening to customers and understanding their unique challenges. Many of these solutions have evolved into advanced composite insulation materials with broad industrial applications. For example, while the economics of a furnace are straightforward – converting energy into usable heat – the challenges of maintaining consistency and safety often demand more complex solutions.

Through close collaboration with our customers, we have developed a variety of high-performance insulation solutions.
Similarly, for other sectors and industries, problem-solving may require a combination of heat insulation solutions, some mica-based, some not.

The object is always to improve, refine and come up with the right answers to solving specific problems and issues. The answers we find may then inform our overall product range, providing future solutions for others.

Our insulation solutions include composite materials made from mica insulation, microporous, ceramic insulation and fibre insulation. At Elmelin, we look to add value to these products, to improve our customers’ manufacturing processes, and to improve productivity through collaborative innovation.

Cost-effective high-temperature insulation solutions

We believe cost-effective insulation comes from investing in high-quality materials and applying the appropriate processes. We have helped numerous customers realise thermal and environmental savings through our insulation solutions. For instance, a system we designed for a rotary kiln generated enough energy savings within just fourteen days to demonstrate a 100% return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are composite insulation materials? +

Composite insulation materials combine two or more high-performance insulation types - such as mica, microporous, ceramic or fibre insulation - to deliver optimised thermal, mechanical and safety performance in demanding high-temperature environments.

What are the benefits of mica-based composite insulation? +

Mica-based composite insulation offers excellent thermal stability, electrical insulation, fire resistance and mechanical strength. When combined with other materials, it delivers reliable performance, improved safety and long service life at elevated temperatures.

How are composite insulation materials used in high-temperature applications? +

Composite insulation materials are engineered into systems for furnaces, kilns, heaters and thermal processing equipment, where multiple insulation properties are required.

What industries use mica composite materials? +

Mica composite materials are widely used across industries, including industrial heating, energy, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and any sector requiring controlled, high-temperature thermal management.

How do composite insulation materials improve energy efficiency? +

By minimising heat loss and improving thermal consistency, composite insulation materials reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
