Release Time: 2026-07-15

What are the types of insulation materials for electrolytic cells? The lining of the aluminum electrolytic cell adopts a layered composite insulation system, which is divided into six categories according to its shape: fiber flexible insulation, hard insulation bricks/boards, powder bulk materials, nano ultra-low thermal conductivity insulation, amorphous casting anti-seepage insulation, and special composite insulation. It is suitable for different temperature ranges (300-1350 ℃) of the bottom, sides, ends, and shell backing of the cell. There are different types of insulation materials for electrolytic cells, and Rosewool Insulation Refractory Co.,Ltd. have everything they need. Moreover, different levels and grades can provide solutions according to customers' usage temperature and application needs;

What are the types of insulation materials for electrolytic cells?

1. Ceramic fiber series

The core material is aluminum silicate fiber, classified into temperature resistance levels, with multiple forms of blankets/boards/modules, and flexible bonding with irregular structures; There are ordinary aluminum silicate fibers, high alumina ceramic fibers, zirconium containing ceramic fibers, ceramic fiber modules, etc;

2. Hard shaped insulation board/insulation brick (main insulation layer at the bottom of the groove, mainstream in the industry)

Hard silica calcium stone insulation board, vermiculite insulation board, magnesia stone insulation brick

3. Nano microporous/aerogel insulation board (high-end energy-saving ultra-low heat conduction layer)

Nano microporous insulation board, aerogel felt composite insulation board

4. Amorphous insulation casting material/anti-seepage material (composite anti-seepage and insulation integrated)

The anti-seepage pouring material and insulation refractory mortar on the side of the electrolytic cell, as well as the transition isolation between carbon bricks and insulation layer, block the penetration of electrolytes and sodium vapor.

Introduction to the functions of high-temperature resistant and environmentally friendly hard calcium silicate materials in glass factories

Introduction to the functions of high-temperature resistant and environmentally friendly materials made of hard calcium silicate in glass factories? Hard calcium silicate belongs to a type of hydrated calcium silicate material. Its own composition and characteristics show fibrous or needle shaped crystal morphology. Among many hydrated calcium silicate minerals, its crystal water content is relatively low, while it has excellent high-temperature stability and can withstand high temperature environments of 600 to 1000 ℃. For glass factory applications, hard calcium silicate stone (usually in the form of calcium silicate boards/pipes) is an excellent insulation material for medium and high temperature zones.

100density rock Wool Board in china

As the fireproof insulation materials in building & constructions, rock wool has a good resistance to compression and tensile strength, excellent hydrophobic and moisture resistance, can be used for the external wall insulation, also be used for energy-saving and insulation of existing building. rock wool with Class A non-combustible fire rating and higher resistance to high temperature shrinkage, also in the event of fire to maintain the stability of the system structure.

How much is the fee for one square meter of nano insulation board for aluminum factory pipeline insulation materials?

How much is the fee for one square meter of nano insulation board for aluminum factory pipeline insulation materials? The price of nano insulation boards used for pipeline insulation in aluminum plants does not have a fixed standard, and is usually greatly affected by factors such as thickness, specifications, brand, purchase quantity, and whether they are processed in irregular shapes. We all know that aluminum plant pipelines (high-temperature flue gas, aluminum liquid transportation, waste heat pipelines, 400-800 ℃ working conditions) mainly use 950/1000 nano microporous insulation boards. The price fluctuates according to thickness, flexibility, aluminum foil composite, and purchase quantity. However, when asking about the price, it is important to clarify whether it is the factory bare board price (excluding tax/including tax, excluding construction) or the price including tax and transportation;
