Advantages of Mesoporous Insulation Materials
What are mesoporous materials
Mesoporous materials are a type of porous material that follows the naming rules of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The pore diameter ranges from 2 to 50 nm. It has the characteristics of extremely high specific surface area, regular and ordered pore structure, narrow pore size distribution, and continuously adjustable pore size.
Mesoporous composite thermal insulation products (Mesoporous Materials Based Thermal Insulation Blanket) are nano-scale porous thermal insulation products formed by using continuous phase inorganic fibers (such as glass fibers, ceramic fibers, basalt fibers, etc.) or fiber fabrics as reinforcing materials and compounding them with mesoporous materials.
Mesoporous thermal insulation materials are high-end new thermal insulation materials with low thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity under working conditions is only half or lower of traditional materials and is non-flammable. It has significant advantages in saving energy, saving space, and saving auxiliary materials. It has been widely used in many fields such as domestic and foreign industry, construction, national defense, military industry, and aerospace.
Four core characteristics of mesoporous materials
- Better Thermal Stability
- More Uniform Pore Structure
- Greater Structural Strength
- Better Compatibility
Mesoporous thermal insulation materials
The TS series mesoporous thermal insulation felt independently developed and produced by Mesomat has excellent performance and high cost performance. It has been widely used in buried pipes, overhead pipes and various industrial equipment. Mesoporous thermal insulation felt is a nanocomposite thermal insulation material prepared from mesoporous silica material and inorganic fiber. The mesoporous material has the characteristics of high specific surface area, large porosity, and small pore size. The composite mesoporous thermal insulation material has excellent properties such as low thermal conductivity, high temperature stability, overall hydrophobicity, fire retardant (A1 level), sound insulation and noise reduction, and is safe, energy-saving, green and environmentally friendly.
Mesoporous Adiabatic Principle
There are three ways of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. Mesoporous thermal insulation materials can effectively inhibit heat transfer from these three aspects:
block radiation
Adding nano-additives that are opaque to infrared rays effectively blocks the transmission of thermal radiation.
inhibit convection
The pore diameter of mesoporous materials is extremely small, so air molecules lose the ability to flow freely and cannot participate in heat convection.
prevent conduction
The gap size of mesoporous thermal insulation materials is smaller than the free path of gas molecule collision (70nm), and gas molecules involved in heat transfer cannot pass through, essentially cutting off the heat conduction of gas molecules. Due to the existence of nearly infinite mesopores, heat flow can only be transferred along the pore walls when transferring in a solid. The nearly infinite pore walls constitute an "infinitely long path" effect, which greatly reduces the thermal conductivity of the solid.
Material performance advantages
01. Save energy
Unique mesoporous thermal insulation mechanism, extremely low thermal conductivity, energy saving rate greater than 30%, significantly reducing heat dissipation loss.
02. Save space
Adopting a composite solution with traditional materials, the thickness is about 1/3 lower than the traditional material solution, saving a lot of space for the erection of large equipment and pipelines.
03. Save auxiliary materials
Significantly reducing the use of pipe frame components and cladding materials, underground pipes can reduce the amount of earthwork excavation by more than 1/3, saving labor and materials.
04. Low maintenance cost
It has high tensile strength, does not loosen at high temperatures (above 220°C), has a long service life, and significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs.
