Die-cutting is the sophisticated process of machining flexible materials for industrial applications. It involves feeding a web of material through a shearing chamber, where cutting components will either perforate shapes into the fabric or cut the material down to size. It is regularly applied in the thermal insulation sector to form sealants such as die-cut [...]
Industry and the environment are antonymic concepts. Energy-intensive industrial processes produce millions of cubic tons of harmful greenhouse gasses every year, notwithstanding their effluent production materials nor potentially damaging extraction protocols. Numerous environmental policies, improved industry regulations, and advanced materials for thermal insulation have been applied to help improve the sustainability of crucial industry sectors, [...]
Metalworking industries around the world are characterized by high thermal and abrasive processes. Molten metals are heated to refractory temperatures in mantles or crucibles, and transported to resistant molds to form coils, slabs, and plate products. These are then cooled and conveyed through further processing equipment to prepare products for final application. Temperatures throughout these [...]
Heat resistant cargo covers are widely implemented in the aerospace industry to ensure the safe and efficient transport of a range of goods. They are designed to maintain optimal product temperatures during transit, and to reduce the risk of catastrophic cargo fires by isolating potentially flammable goods. This article will explore the production and [...]
Refractory cement is a material that retains its high strength properties at extremely high temperatures. It is often used in applications that require high strength, wear resistance, and thermal resistance. The majority of refractory cements are a combination of clinker and an aggregate material. Clinker is the by-product of sintering in the production of cement, [...]
Fiberglass ropes combine ultimate flexibility with exceptional thermal resistances. They are manufactured by braiding or knitting fiberglass yarn into tightly-woven textiles in diameters of 1/8” to 2”. Mid-Mountain Materials produces fiberglass ropes from E-glass, which exhibits exceptional dielectric strength, high chemical resistances, and continued tensile strength at extreme temperatures – with a continuous limit of [...]
Fiber blankets are a category of flexible, insulator materials designed for high-temperature applications. They rely on high strength fiber reinforced polymers that have been spun into strands for their exceptional mechanical properties, including near-absolute flame retardancy, ultra-flexibility, and reusability. Mid-Mountain Materials has developed a range of CERMEX® fiber blankets capable of withstanding operating temperatures of [...]
An insulation material is one that provides thermal insulation, or the reduction of heat transfer between objects. Heat transfer can be an issue in a range of industries, where two objects are in contact but they have varying temperatures. The heat flow between these two objects is unavoidable, but an insulation material can be used [...]
Heat resistant fabrics are used for a wide range of applications including welding protection, aerospace safety, and fire prevention. Heat resistant fabrics can be made of a variety of different materials that provide a range of different heat resistant properties. This blog post will highlight a few of these materials and their uses. Silicone Silicone [...]
