Insulation Materials

Hot Spots? We Fill the Gaps!

Conti® Thermo Protect is an ultra-flexible insulation system. It is especially easy to work with and has been designed to provide thermal insulation and protection for flexible and complex line systems and piping systems, as well as components within high-temperature areas up to 250 °C.

A diverse product portfolio ranging from non-vulcanized sheet materials right through to vulcanized components, such as hoses and molded parts, offers significant advantages in the field:

• Energy savings
• Occupational safety
• Noise reduction
• Vibration damping

Technical Specifications

• Broad temperature range: can be used from -50 °C to +250 °C
• Thermal conductivity at 200 °C: ʎ = 0.08 W/(mK)
• Microporous silicon rubber with a specific weight of < 0.5 g/cm³
• Non-vulcanized material cures independently after installation on the hot components and becomes a flexible rubber molded part
• Extremely robust: demonstrates all the properties of an elastomer in spite of its low density
• Certified suitable for ISO class 3 cleanrooms, as described in DIN EN ISO 14644-1, equivalent to class 1 under US FED 209D

Benefits & Features

• User-friendly: Insulation that can be individually tailored thanks to its kneadable characteristics
• Non-vulcanized material is self-adhesive and malleable, no additional adhesive is required
• Flexibility: Vulcanized components remain flexible and robust within a temperature range of -50 °C to +250 °C
• Long-lasting: Vulcanized components are quick and easy to install and can also be reused; ideal for maintenance work
• Thermal insulation: Reduces heat dissipation by up to 80 %
• Water-repellent and self-extinguishing
• Resistant to both UV light and weathering
• Eco-friendly: Does not require any specific handling after use, can be disposed of as general waste
• Capable of withstanding a diverse range of media
• Corrosion protection for heating pipes: minimizes the risk of corrosion under the insulation
• Independently inspected: Tested and certified by the Forschungsinstitut für Wärmeschutz e.V. München [Research Institute for Thermal Insulation in Munich]
• Quick return on investment (ROI): In most cases, the investment in Conti® Thermo Protect can be recouped within a year
• Suitable for cleanrooms
