Conti® Thermo Protect

Hot Spots? We Fill the Gaps!

Conti® Thermo Protect (CTP) is a highly flexible insulation material. It is particularly easy to handle and is designed for the thermal insulation and protection of flexible and complex hose and piping systems as well as components in the high-temperature range up to 250°C.

Conti® Thermo Protect is available as a ductile variant (Conti® Thermo Protect Gum), with which complex applications can be easily insulated. Conti® Thermo Protect Gum automatically connects after installation on a hot component and then becomes a flexible but rigid rubber molded product.

Mold-resistant molded products and hose lines enable high-temperature insulation of various valves and flexible hoses as well as rigid pipelines.

The use offers considerable advantages:

• Energy savings
• Reduction von CO2emissions 
• Industrial safety
• Noise reduction
• Vibration damping

The product portfolio is available in two variants: CTP (with increased insulation performance) or CTP-B (with improved fire resistance).

Technical specifications

• Broad temperature range: can be used from -50°C to +250°C
• Coefficient of heat conductivity at 200 °C: ʎ = 0.08 W/(mK)
• Microporous silicone rubber with a specific weight of < 0.5 g/cm³
• Non-cured material automatically connects after installation on a hot component and becomes a flexible rubber molded product
• High robustness: all the properties of an elastomer despite low density
• Certified cleanroom suitability class 3 according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1, equivalent to class 1 according to US FED 209D

Benefits & Features

• User-friendly: individually adaptable insulation thanks to ductile properties
• Non-cured/ductile material is self-adhesive and malleable, no additional adhesive required
• Flexibility: Cured components are dynamically flexible and robust in the temperature range from -50°C to +250°C
• Durability: Cured components are quick and easy to install and reusable, ideal for maintenance work
• Thermal insulation: reduces heat loss by up to 80%
• Water-repellent and self-extinguishing
• UV-resistant and weatherproof
• Environmentally sound: no hazardous waste after use, the material can be disposed of with household waste
• High resistance to chemicals and environmental influences
• Corrosion prevention on heat lines: minimizes the risk of corrosion under insulation
• Quick amortization: investment in Conti® Thermo Protect pays for itself after just one year in most cases
• Cleanroom suitability
