Insulation Mattresses for Industrial Applications

Insulation mattresses for industry are indispensable in plant construction, vehicle manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. These are technical fabrics with high-quality integrated insulation material. The clear advantage over metallic insulation is evident: insulation mattresses are not rigid in their application. With individual customisation, flexible installation for removable components can be achieved. The insulation thickness of industrial insulation mattresses is determined by structural requirements and mechanical stresses. Your system supplier, NovaNox®, provides expert support in selecting the correct fastening method. In addition to the clear technical advantages, the reduction of radiant heat also increases occupational safety due to efficient thermal insulation.

Insulation mattresses for industrial use are manufactured for specific industrial requirements. This is the only way to develop an efficient insulation system. The individual material compositions not only ensure high flexibility but also remarkably effective thermal insulation. Operating temperatures of up to 1,200 °C can be efficiently insulated. NovaNox® industrial insulation mattresses can be easily and conveniently installed and removed, providing a clear gain in time and maintenance convenience. Thanks to individual customisation, connection points such as mounts and sensors remain accessible. NovaNox® industrial insulation mattresses contribute to increased energy efficiency and maximally minimise heat loss. By efficiently insulating radiant heat, not only can the energy efficiency of your system be ensured, but you also gain maximum occupational safety.

NovaNox® industrial insulation mattresses protect against:

• Sparks
• Liquid metal splashes
• High radiant heat
• High contact heat

Thanks to guaranteed occupational safety, you can work more time-efficiently and safely, protecting yourself from potential hazards.

The Inner Fabric

The inner fabric consists of high-quality, tested glass fabric. For high vibrations and mechanical loads, the inner fabric is provided with wire reinforcement. The wire reinforcement is made of high-quality V4A and protects the inner fabric from direct friction or mechanical stresses. In addition to reliability in continuous operation, this material combination offers a significantly longer service life.

The Outer Fabric

The outer fabric also consists of high-quality glass fabric and, depending on the requirement, has a coating of PU, PTFE, or aluminium. These coatings are resistant to oils, chemicals, water, gases, and continuous weather conditions. The coating thus protects the internal insulation and the inner fabric. As with wire reinforcement, this combination significantly extends the service life. Furthermore, NovaNox® textile insulation achieves maximum insulation efficiency.

The Internal Insulation

The internal insulation is the core component of NovaNox® textile insulation cushions and insulation mattresses. It consists of high-quality glass fleece and is inserted between the inner and outer fabrics. The insulating material has a temperature resistance of up to +1,200 °C.

To function under extreme external conditions, highly specific material compositions adapted to those conditions are required. NovaNox® industrial insulation mattresses are custom-made for your specific installation situation. They consist of high-quality and certified glass fabric, silicate, or aramid fabric. Aramids are polymeric plastics that have a protein-like structure. This unique fabric composition results in a dust-free, oil- and water-repellent, and steam-resistant insulation mattress for industrial use. In industry, a distinction is generally made between shell mattresses and bespoke mattresses. As THE system supplier, NovaNox® is capable of realising both simple and more complex geometries. The insulation mattresses are individually manufactured and innovatively designed for your specific industrial application. The material composition is developed for your specific installation situation.

High-performance thermal insulation from NovaNox® is used in:

• Power plant and heating construction
• Shipbuilding
• Chemical plants
• Process engineering systems and numerous other industrial sectors
• Pipelines, boilers, and furnaces
• Turbine insulation
• Gas turbines

NovaNox® industrial insulation mattresses are individually customisable and are developed as single productions or in series. They are suitable for industrial applications in high-temperature ranges. Efficient thermal insulation ensures increased occupational safety and maximised contact protection. Through high performance and maximised energy efficiency, energy costs are reduced, and the longevity of your system is simultaneously increased. The high-quality material of NovaNox® insulation mattresses ensures that they remain free of asbestos and ceramics. This provides long-term advantages in installation convenience, enhanced performance, and increased system longevity.

NovaNox® insulation cushions and insulation mattresses are individually equipped with fasteners for each installation situation. The various fastening techniques offer quick installation for every specific situation. For maintenance or repairs, NovaNox® insulation cushions and insulation mattresses can be disassembled and reassembled at any time thanks to the intelligent fastening technology. Disassembly and assembly are extremely fast, and reusability ensures a long service life. In addition, heat losses are reduced to a minimum. The choice of fasteners depends on the size and positioning of the insulation cushions and insulation mattresses.

Fastening with Stainless Steel Wire

The most conventional and cost-effective fastening option is the use of stainless steel wire, wound around securely sewn-on hooks. Although assembly and disassembly take slightly more time due to the wrapping, this method excels with exceptionally high and variable tensile strength. Additionally, this fastening method is characterised by the temperature and weather resistance of stainless steel.

Fastening with Tension Springs

Stainless steel tension springs also represent a cost-effective solution for fasteners. Compared to stainless steel wire, tension springs offer significantly easier handling during assembly or disassembly. The tensile force is adapted to the securely sewn-on hooks and remains constant in subsequent use. Due to their material properties, these tension springs are also extremely resistant to temperature and weather influences.

Fastening with Buckles and Straps

Stainless steel buckles and high-quality fabric straps are particularly suitable for frequent maintenance work and repairs. This fastening solution is very easy to handle and allows for seconds-fast disassembly and assembly, even with work gloves. The high-quality materials also prove to be extremely robust and are temperature and weather resistant. Therefore, this fastening technique is often used for large and heavy textile insulations.

Hook-and-Loop Fastener

Similar to buckles and straps, the hook-and-loop fastener option is also particularly suitable for frequent maintenance work and repairs. The hook-and-loop fastener can be used at temperatures of up to +240 °C. This fastening solution also features extremely easy handling and allows for seconds-fast disassembly and assembly. The flat fastener is also ideal when minimal installation space is available.
