KROTECT™

KROTECT™, a nanoporous insulation material, offers optimal solutions through processing tailored to your needs.

What is KROTECT™？
Even lower thermal conductivity and higher compressive strength than conventional heat insulators that outperform static air

KROTECT™ is a nanoporous insulation material composed of fumed silica, infrared impermeable materials, and inorganic fibers. It has a very low thermal conductivity and provides excellent heat insulation performance even at high temperatures.

Benefits
Providing high added value by improving thermal insulation performance and strength

Energy savings achieved through improved thermal insulation performance

Reduced heat dissipation (energy loss) from furnace bodies and other equipment.

Optimization of material usage

Reduced amount of insulation material used per fuel cell, contributing to cost reductions.

Improved installation

Slimmer design reduces installation space and expands flexibility of installation location.

Improved compressive strength

Reduced risk of insulation damage during installation and assembly, improving work efficiency.
