Microporous insulation is a composite material comprising a blend of ceramic powders and fibers, with an average interconnecting pore size comparable to or even less than the mean free path of air molecules at standard atmospheric pressure. It may contain opacifiers to reduce the amount of the radiant heat transmitted. The blend of compacted powder or fibers and pore structure produces a thermal insulation with extremely low thermal conductivity across a broad temperature range. These materials, along with other additives, combine to form a high-temperature material that provides excellent thermal stability, low thermal diffusivity, and a thermal conductivity that is lower than still air. The microporous insulation material is inorganic in nature, making it non-combustible and suitable for passive fire protection applications. It is ideal for any high-temperature application and has been used in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and commercial markets where space and weight conservation are critical requirements without compromising the thermal performance. _______________ 1 Micromarkets are defined as the segments and subsegments of the microporous insulation market included in the report. 2 Core competencies of the companies are covered in terms of their key developments, SWOT analysis, and key strategies to sustain their positions in the market.
