Introduction of MIP-E Microporous Insulation Board

MIP-E Series Microporous Board is manufactured using carefully selected inorganic nano-scale refractory powders and formed by a proprietary fully-automated dry pressing process. This results in a board with a nano-scale microporous structure that effectively blocks all three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. While maintaining the ultra-low thermal conductivity characteristic of traditional microporous insulation, the MIP-E series offers enhanced cost-efficiency — providing a new solution for industrial furnaces that require both thermal performance and budget optimization.

Microporous Board Brief Introduction

E1000A Microporous Board delivers twice the insulation performance compared to traditional ceramic fiber and micro-calcium silicate insulation materials. It offers superior durability at high temperatures, resisting crystallization and powdering, ensuring long-lasting thermal insulation performance without degradation over time.

 

E1000B Microporous Board is an upgraded version of Firebird’s E1000A, with significantly improved insulation properties. Under the same application conditions, its thermal conductivity is one-third that of traditional fiber and calcium silicate products. It provides better insulation with even lower thermal conductivity, making it ideal for projects requiring efficient heat retention and reduced energy loss.

 

E1200 Microporous Board is a high-performance insulation material developed using advanced nano-composite technology and upgraded raw materials. With a specially engineered nano-porous structure and radiation-shielding additives, it minimizes heat transfer to the maximum extent. Compared to traditional fiber and calcium silicate boards, its insulation performance is twice as effective, and it supports operating conditions up to 1200°C. It is particularly suitable for high-temperature industrial applications where both superior insulation and thermal durability are required.

Typical Applications:
  • Cement Industry: cyclone preheater, calciner, tertiary air duct, kiln hood, gas duct, grate cooler, riser pipe, etc.
  • Aluminum Industry: Aluminum Electrolysis Cell, holding furnace, melting furnaces, Anode baking furnaces, etc.
  • Ceramics: Roller kilns, tunnel kilns, shuttle kilns, electricity furnace.
  • Iron & Steel: Coke ovens, blast furnaces, hot blast stoves, reheating furnaces, bright metal annealing furnaces.
  • Glass: Melters, regenerators, annealing lehrs, tempering furnaces.
  • Industrial Furnaces: Carburizing furnaces, heat treating furnaces, electronic product furnaces, refractory sintering furnaces, reactors, reformers, and power station boilers, etc,
