High temperature insulation is not only about helping industries maintain efficiency, or ensuring electrical devices function consistently. It plays a key role in fire protection. Insulation for fire protection is something we specialise in, and our mica-based and microporous high temperature insulation products and technology cut across many industries, providing essential safeguarding against fire risks in various situations and settings.
Elmelin proudly manufacture and supply insulation for the aerospace industry. Safety is a paramount priority when it comes to commercial air travel, and while flight security is important, so is high temperature insulation. Aircraft routinely face extreme conditions but must maintain their mechanical stability, while ensuring the safety of passengers and flight staff.
Any solutions to airborne transport must also take weight into consideration, as well as strength and resistance.
Because it is both lightweight and strong, alongside its superior insulation and thermally resistant qualities, mica is the perfect match for high temperature insulation in the aerospace industry.
In this blog, we’ve recently looked at mica sheets and their uses. Now we want to tell you about the manufacturing process of mica sheets.
The natural cleavage qualities of mica in its mineral state make it ideally suited to production of mica sheets. This is where the mineral will break along smooth planes. Mica minerals have hexagonal atoms in sheet-like arrangements. Due to being hugely versatile, whether rigid or flexible, there are many mica sheet uses for a wide range of industries. …
Mica is a critical contributor to many industries, businesses and manufacturing processes because of its natural qualities and benefits as an insulation material. However, before it gets to this stage, mica is a raw material, and in its natural form it must first be sourced and extracted through mining. …
High temperature insulation touches people’s everyday lives. While we serve specialist sectors and industries, such as foundry and steel, automotive and aerospace, we also provide insulation solutions for products that are part of the fabric of how we live today. These products include fan-assisted and convection heaters, microwave ovens, toasters, hairdryers and other white goods.
5 June 2018 is World Environment Day, and while this year’s theme is Beat Plastic Pollution, there are other, critical areas of activity where industries, businesses and organisations can make a difference to the world around us. One of these is industrial insulation.
Industrial insulation is wide-ranging, applied to different sectors in a variety of settings, and here, at Elmelin, we play a key role in supplying high temperature insulation solutions.
These involve mica and mica-based products, and microporous materials and a multi-faceted approach to their application.
Here we look at the general importance of insulation in helping to combat climate change, and how industrial application works in practice in certain key industries.
Elmelin’s mica and microporous insulation products and solutions are used across a wide breadth of industries, in different industrial and commercial settings and situations. This reflects the sheer adaptability and flexibility of mica’s natural mineral properties, and of our commitment to finding the right solution for the businesses we serve.
What is mica? Whilst it may not be immediately familiar to many, it is a widely-used mineral in many industrial processes and different products. There are various mica properties that make it versatile for multiple uses. Due to its high thermal resistance, it is an excellent industrial insulation material. It offers resistance to electricity, light and moisture, making it ideal for a range of applications across different sectors.
A significant aspect of human history and progress is the story of how we have harnessed and channelled what the natural world can offer us. This includes industrial minerals such as mica.
As high temperature insulation specialists, we manufacture different mica-based products, including mica roll and mica sheets, and we use it in various thermal management solutions and other industrial insulation applications.
