In industrial environments, precise thermal management is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. Proper insulation drives efficiency, reduces costs, and safeguards both equipment and personnel. To meet these challenges, industrial thermal insulation systems rely on materials that deliver consistent performance under extreme conditions.

CERMEX® Thermal Insulation Mats from Mid-Mountain Materials, Inc. stand out as industry leaders. Designed to address the unique demands of industrial insulation, these mats offer superior thermal resistance, durability, and adaptability. Below, we’ll provide more insights on these mats and why they’re effective for use in industrial thermal insulation systems.

The Critical Role of Insulation Mats in Industrial Systems

Industrial thermal insulation systems are designed to control heat transfer, enhance energy efficiency, and protect sensitive equipment. Unlike rigid insulation materials, mats are flexible. They’re also capable of conforming to complex shapes like pipes, tanks, and irregular machinery. This adaptability, combined with their excellent thermal and mechanical properties, makes mats an essential component in maintaining operational integrity in high-temperature and cryogenic environments.

Why Choose CERMEX® Thermal Insulation Mats?

CERMEX® Thermal Insulation Mats are specifically designed to meet the unique demands of industrial thermal insulation systems. These mats combine advanced engineering with premium materials to offer superior performance. These are some examples of the mats available:

  • CERMEX® MT1000 Needled Fiberglass Mat

Lightweight and resilient, this mat is crafted from high-purity E-glass fibers and provides thermal insulation up to 1000°F (538°C) with continuous use. It’s both strong and lightweight. Ergo this mat is a good selection for thermal insulation required for long durations in conditions that experience extensive heat.

  • CERMEX® MT1800 Needled Silica Mat

Engineered for temperatures as high as 1800°F (982°C) with sustained usage, this mat does not contain shot and organic binders. Therefore, it’s perfect for applications that could have a negative impact on materials carrying shot, like those involving abrasion or vibration. Moreover, the majority of chemicals will not influence this mat. Only sodium, hydrofluoric acid, or alkalis with a high strength can affect it.

  • CERMEX® BK1800SW and BK2300SW Low Biopersistence Mats

Both of these mats are able to resist thermal shock and offer low heat storage and outstanding thermal stability. Additionally, they’re not affected by an extensive array of chemicals, other than strong alkalies, phosphoric acid, and hydrofluoric acid.

  • CERMEX® BK2300 Refractory Ceramic Fiber Mat

Having been needled for additional strength and surface integrity, this mat is imbued with great thermal stability, low heat storage, and resistance against thermal shock within extreme conditions. It’s able to withstand 2300°F (1260°C) and is suitable for industries involving glass, metals, and ceramics.

Why CERMEX® Mats Are the Most Effective for Industrial Systems

CERMEX® mats set themselves apart by offering a combination of properties essential for industrial thermal insulation systems:
