At least 25% the thickness of conventional insulation materials

The highly efficient insulating effect of our products is based on a microporous fumed silica.

The Advantages:

  • Heat transfer due to solids conduction is minimal in a microporous structure.
  • Heat transfer through convection, eg by encapsulated air, is therefore prevented.
  • Heat transfer through radiation is reduced to a minimum.

In this way, it is possible to achieve much higher efficiency in comparison to conventional materials like mineral fibres, lightweight refractory bricks or inorganic insulation panels.

WDS® Ultra

As can be clearly seen, the Thermal Conductivity of WDS® Ultra is 3 times less conductive than Glass Fibre.

   

WDS® Ultra

As the diagrams below clearly demonstrate, the incredible thermal qualities of WDS® Ultra results in the amount of effective insulation needed being vastly reduced!
