PROMASIL | High-Performance Industrial Thermal Insulation | Perfil Térmico

PROMASIL: Perfil Térmico’s Innovation in Industrial Thermal Insulation

In industrial environments where extreme heat is a constant and intrinsic part of the processes, the performance of insulating materials is not only a matter of efficiency but of critical safety. The structural integrity and protection of equipment depend directly on the capability of a robust and reliable insulation. It is in this demanding context that Perfil Térmico stands out, introducing PROMASIL, a thermal insulation that combines robustness, reliability, and superior thermal and mechanical properties, designed to meet the most severe demands of modern industry.

The Innovative Calcium Silicate: The Foundation of PROMASIL’s Performance

The advantage of PROMASIL lies in calcium silicate, a high-purity inorganic mineral compound. This material is obtained through a controlled reaction between silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and calcium oxide (CaO). After a hydration process and autoclave treatment, calcium silicate acquires a porous and cohesive microcrystalline structure, making it perfectly suitable for extremely demanding thermal applications.

Supplied in rigid boards, Perfil Térmico’s calcium silicate offers remarkable characteristics. Its low thermal conductivity provides an efficient barrier against heat transfer, while its high resistance to thermal shocks and dimensional stability ensures structural integrity even under intense vibrations and extreme thermal cycles.

These properties make it ideal for combustion zones, furnace walls and doors, and as a fundamental component in backup insulation systems. PROMASIL’s inorganic composition grants low chemical reactivity and excellent compatibility with refractory linings and high-temperature mortars. This feature is vital to ensure the structural integrity of the insulation system even after long periods of exposure to aggressive conditions, consolidating PROMASIL as an efficient choice in industrial thermal insulation.

Proven Technical Performance and Perfil Térmico’s Versatility

PROMASIL boards represent state-of-the-art thermal insulation, combining lightness with a homogeneous mineral structure that balances mechanical strength and high thermal efficiency. The PROMASIL product line is designed to meet diverse industrial needs: PROMASIL 1000L withstands temperatures up to 1000 °C, while PROMASIL 1100 SUPER raises this capacity to 1050 °C. The latter incorporates mineral opacifiers, a technology that further enhances performance by reducing thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures, ensuring even greater robustness.

PROMASIL’s thermal efficiency matches the requirements of industrial applications, with thermal conductivity ranging from 0.077 W/m·K to 0.163 W/m·K, depending on the operating temperature (200 °C to 800 °C). Despite its remarkable efficiency, the material maintains an average density of 300 kg/m³, providing an ideal balance between lightness and structural strength.

Its cold compressive strength, exceeding 2.5×10⁶ Pa (2.5 MPa), guarantees stability even under continuous load. Thermal stability is demonstrated by the low loss on ignition (below 10%) after 12 hours at 1000 °C, indicating minimal volatility. In addition, linear thermal expansion is minimal (about 5.4×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ between 20 °C and 400 °C), preventing cracks and deformations over time, ensuring the durability of the insulation system.

Easy Installation and Broad Industrial Applications

Perfil Térmico understands that the effectiveness of a thermal insulation material also depends on its applicability. For this reason, PROMASIL calcium silicate boards combine superior technical performance with remarkable ease of application. They can be cut, machined, and shaped directly on-site using both manual and power tools. This versatility ensures agility in installations and maintenance, optimizing work time and guaranteeing a safe, clean process.

During handling and adjustments, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and proper waste collection is always recommended, reinforcing the commitment to safety and the environment. PROMASIL is widely used as a thermal insulation solution across various industrial fields. Its applications include industrial furnaces and backup insulation systems, petrochemical and refining equipment, and tube support saddles.

It is also indispensable in glass and aluminum casting systems, electrolysis cells, baking furnaces, chimneys, and fireplace walls. Furthermore, PROMASIL is applied in industrial and domestic heating systems, naval, railway, road, and aerospace infrastructure, as well as in thermal sealing panels and internal building insulation.

For Perfil Térmico, PROMASIL is not just a product, but a solution that drives innovation and safety throughout the industry. By choosing PROMASIL, your company ensures cutting-edge thermal insulation—essential to face the challenges of modern industrial processes and to build a future with greater efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
