Textile insulation for machines, plants and automotive engineering

Depending on the conditions of use, textile insulation consists of various fabric combinations and has very good insulating properties. The excellent insulating properties of textile insulation thus reduce heat loss to a minimum and maintain a constant system temperature in machines, plants and vehicles. At the same time, the textile insulations for engines and exhaust pipes offer optimum protection against contact during continuous operation. They are used as insulation for exhaust systems and expansion joints in engine construction, vehicle manufacturing and shipbuilding. They also serve as insulation for heated tools, gas turbines in power plants or heating zones of plastics processing machines.
NovaNox® technical insulation acts as one of the cornerstones for achieving climate targets, energy efficiency, CO2 reduction and plant safety. The short payback period, simple and fast implementation and significant cost reduction are also excellent features of the technical insulations.

In addition, surrounding sensitive components are protected from the radiated heat and premature wear.  In addition to optimal thermal insulation or thermal insulation must be extremely heat resistant and vibration resistant and must also ensure high reliability in permanent weather conditions, high exhaust gas temperatures and mechanical stresses.

There is a wide range of applications for NovaNox® insulation. For example, they can be used in shipping, the automotive industry, aviation, or even in plant engineering.
The NovaNox® insulating sleeves are particularly noteworthy here. They are needed for the heating tapes, valves or pipelines. Insulating sleeves score especially with the high energy savings and the associated cost savings. Furthermore, they offer protection against contact and combustion, shorter heating times for your components and consistent heat throughout the entire production process.

Custom textile insulation

With our many years of experience as a system supplier in insulation technology, we develop and produce tailor-made textile insulations for manufacturers of machines, plants and vehicle technology. We have specialized in particular in insulation mattresses, insulation pockets and engine and exhaust gas insulation.

NovaNox® textile insulations are extremely heat-resistant and have very good insulation properties, thus reducing the generated radiated heat of up to +1,200°C to an extreme minimum. Heat loss is prevented, so that the system temperature in machines, plants and vehicles is maintained at a constant level.

Textile insulations from NovaNox® are manufactured to fit the contours. Due to the individual cutting, the NovaNox® textile insulation fits tightly and precisely and is therefore very space-saving, which can be of great importance in an angled machine room. Radiated heat is thus reduced to an absolute minimum, and the insulation also provides excellent protection against contact.
This contact protection is complemented by combustion protection. They provide holistic and reliable protection against burns. The touch protection prevents and avoids injury when touching hot pipes. Contact protection and combustion protection are used in particular for engine insulation, silencer insulation, plant insulation, compensator insulation or turbocharger insulation.

In addition, surrounding sensitive components are ideally protected from radiated heat and premature wear. Thanks to the individual cut, connection points, brackets or sensors also remain accessible.

The high-quality and certified NovaNox® insulations also offer a significant improvement in occupational safety and score points for their particular flexibility. In addition, they are quick to dismantle, easy to reuse and simple to clean. Fire protection and sound absorption are further properties that NovaNox® textile insulations bring with them.  Finally, the high durability results in significantly lower maintenance and disposal costs.

Custom textile insulation

Structure of textile insulation

NovaNox® textile insulation is manufactured on a fiberglass base. Efficient insulation material is incorporated into our technical high-performance fabric. Depending on your specific installation situation, the thickness of the insulation layer is selected. It provides high thermal insulation and acoustic insulation.

In the basic principle of thermal insulations, different layers are manufactured: Outer fabric, insulating material, inner fabric, wire mesh. Since the outer fabric is farthest from the heat source, but closest to the outside world, special attention is paid here to resistance to external influences. For example, it must be able to withstand dirt, coolants, oil or even snow. Next comes the insulation material, which is the actual insulating layer. It consists of needled glass fiber mats. The more glass fiber mats are used in the insulation layer, the stronger the insulating effect. As a direct point of contact with the hot machine part, the inner fabric must be able to withstand enormous heat. It also consists of glass fiber mats or silicate, which is additionally reinforced with stainless steel threads. The layer that lies in front of the inner fabric is the wire mesh. Its main purpose is to protect against excessive abrasion.

Environmentally friendly textile insulation

Conventional insulation material and therefore textile insulation are mostly considered risky for people and the environment during maintenance or replacement. For this simple reason, NovaNox® has chosen to manufacture and develop sustainable insulations. The insulations are provided with a green outer layer to show sustainability and improvement of your green footprint. Of course, it is still possible to produce the insulations with your corporate colors. What stands out as an advantage of the sustainable insulations is especially the compatibility. Namely, the NovaNox® special textile insulations do not contain calcium, sodium or potassium, thus preventing the formation of highly toxic chromates. The environmentally friendly and sustainable textile insulations are also individually manufactured and can be adapted to your specific installation space situation. In addition, they are heat resistant up to 1100°C, and for a short time even up to 1300°C, and due to their different composition they do not offer any disadvantages for your specific application. In addition, they are non-flammable, have a vermiculite coating on both sides and are flexible and soft. If you are interested in making your vehicles and machinery more sustainable, feel free to book a no-obligation initial consultation at the bottom of the page!

As proof of the outstanding quality of NovaNox® textile insulations, our partner company works according to the corresponding standards in the following areas:

  • Weave - DIN 61 101-1
  • Width - DIN EN 1773
  • Thickness - DIN EN ISO 5084 and DIN EN ISO 2286-3
  • Weight - DIN EN ISO 12127
  • Thread count - DIN EN 1049 - 2
  • Yarn count - DIN EN ISO 2060
  • Filament fineness - DIN 53 811
  • Maximum tensile strength - ISO 4606

 

What makes conventional insulation so dangerous?

The usual insulation material used for motors or vulnerable pipes contains alkaline or alkaline metals such as calcium oxide (CaO), sodium oxide (Na²O) or/and potassium oxide (K²O). The material consists of up to 40% of the various oxides. The engine parts and other stainless steel components, on the other hand, contain chromium-containing compounds. For example, the calcium oxide reacts above 300° C with the chromium-containing compounds. This causes the chromium (III) compounds to "oxidize" to chromium (IV) compounds, the so-called chromates. In combination with calcium oxide, calcium chromate (CaCr04) is formed. Once this process has taken place, the compound does not volatilize until it reaches more than 800° C. The chromium content of the components and the chromate used are decisive factors. The chromium content of the components and the calcium oxide content of the insulating materials determine how many chromates are released.

The resulting heavy metal compounds are released during installation work. They are very dangerous for humans and the environment, as they contain carcinogenic, mutagenic and particularly environmentally hazardous contents. Skin contact or inhalation of the released compounds can cause serious damage to health. Used insulating materials contaminated with chromates must also be disposed of properly and at high cost as hazardous waste after use, so that there is no risk to groundwater.
