Why Thermal Insulation: With prices sky rocketing for electricity, natural gas and oil what is one simple and economical way to achieve significant energy savings?
Upgrade or install thermal insulation. When installed, Thermalate sheet will decrease heat transfer between mold and the press platen. This results in more even temperatures through out the mold. Press insulation is a particularly demanding application for any material since it is subject to high temperatures and molding pressures, as well as exposure to oils and hydraulic fluids. Haysite’s Thermalate grades are compression molded glass mat reinforced thermoset polyester laminates. Their physical properties include: high heat resistance, high compressive strength, low thermal conductivity, low moisture absorption, durability, and are readily machinable. These laminates provide for more precise temperature control as well as uniformity of temperature, which reduces or eliminates “Cold Spots” in a mold. Haysite’s Theramalate Advantages: Thermalate composites offer a number of specific advantages over other insulation materials: • Asbestos Free • Cost effective: increased efficiency allow
