SECTION 2: INSULATION MATERIALS AND PROPERTIES
tiac.caExamples of these insulations are calcium silicate, expanded vermiculite, perlite, cellulose, diatomaceous earth and expanded polystyrene. 2.2.2 FORMS Insulations are produced in a variety of forms suitable for specific functions and applications. The combined form and type of insulation determine its proper method of installation.
5. INSULATION AND REFRACTORIES
www.beeindia.gov.inInsulation materials can also be classified into organic and inorganic types. Organic insulations are based on hydrocarbon polymers, which can be expanded to obtain high void structures Example: Thermocol (Expanded Polystyrene) and Poly Urethane Form(PUF). Inorganic insulation is based on Siliceous/Aluminous/Calcium materials in fibrous ...
