WDS® Flexipor® is a microporous insulation material with an extremely low coefficient of thermal conductivity.

WDS® Flexipor® consists of inorganic silicates. The main constituent is fumed silica, the other components are opacifiers for minimising infrared radiation.

Application
Tried and tested applications for WDS® Flexipor® include back-up insulation in the steel and non-ferrous metals industry.

In these applications, WDS® Flexipor® fulfills several functions, such as:

  • Precisely controlled energy emission
  • Reduction of weight and volume
  • Increase of heat retention
  • Increased effective volume
