Made of synthetic vitreous and polycrystalline mineral wools. Defined by a classification temperature above 1000 °C. Typically used at temperatures above 600 °C. Necessary for many high-tech products owing to their versatile characteristics. Essential for minimizing energy consumption and correlated greenhouse gas emissions. However, as their name suggests, HTIWs are used at much higher temperatures (typically from 600 °C to 1800 °C) than most other glass and rock wools. Materials and Product Types.

ECFIA Representing the High Temperature Insulation Wool Industry | Benefits, Energy Efficiency of Industrial Furnaces

http://www.ecfia.eu/benefits_ee.htm

Energy Efficiency of Industrial Furnaces. VDMA Publication, May 2009. Operators of industrial furnaces are some of the largest energy consumers in Germany. They pay energy suppliers about 30 billion euros per year. A tenth of this sum is for electricity, the rest for gas. 40 % of the energy consumed by German industry is for industrial furnaces. In 2005 energy consumption totalled 270 TWh (Terawatt-hours). This equals the annual consumption of 14 million private households. Emissions by 1.60 m. The Cross...

Alkaline Earth Silicate (AES) Wool. AES wools consist of amorphous fibres produced by melting a combination of CaO, MgO and SiO. Key features of AES products are low thermal conductivity, low linear shrinkage and low biopersistence. Products made from AES wools are generally used at application temperatures 600°C in industrial equipment, fire protection, automotive exhaust systems and domestic appliances. See the AES section.
