What makes microporous board thermal conductivity lower than still air?

Microporous insulation products leverage their unique nanoporous structure and the synergistic effects of various additives to remarkably inhibit heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation across a wide range of temperatures. This superior performance positions them ahead of traditional insulation materials such as mineral wool, perlite, insulating bricks, calcium silicate, and ceramic fibers, as well as aerogel felts. Notably, in most temperature ranges, the thermal conductivity of microporous insulation products is lower than that of static air.

Key features and benefits of microporous insulation materials include:

  • Nanoscopic Structure: The small particle size reduces contact area, significantly decreasing heat transfer via conduction.
  • Nanoporous Composition: Pore diameters around 20nm effectively trap gas molecules, virtually eliminating internal convection.
  • Anti-Infrared Properties: Incorporation of anti-infrared powders blocks and reflects infrared radiation, especially effective at high temperatures, further reducing heat transfer.

These combined properties make microporous materials exceptionally efficient for thermal insulation, offering unparalleled performance across various industrial and high-temperature applications.
