Iran-Made Nano Insulation Saves 90% of Energy, Boosts Strength of Structures
“Elastomeric insulation with thermal, cooling and acoustic properties has been produced as a knowledge-based product by our company for the first time, and its production and formulation processes have been indigenized with the help of elites from the country's top universities,” said Mohammad Hashemi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
He added that in addition to reducing energy consumption and noise pollution, insulation made by his company also helps the strength of structures, noting, “The insulation prevents corrosion, and therefore the need for repair and maintenance of pipes is reduced and their lifespan increases.”
“This product has resulted in 65% to 90% energy saving which varies due to the effects of various factors like environmental conditions, insulation thickness, etc.,” Hashemi said.
He pointed to the wide applications of these insulators in industrial, residential, and research fields and the high effectiveness of the product, and said, “These insulators are used in all industries whose goal is to save energy or where the corrosion level is high.”
“All production stages of this product, from weighing to furnace and baking, are carried out inside our company,” he stressed.
In a relevant development in September, an Iranian nanotechnology firm had also produces a special thermal insulation which has applications in different industries and buildings.
“This product is a thermal insulation coating that replaces traditional products. The use of nanomaterials improves the performance of the thermal insulation so that the heat transfer coefficient decreases in this product and the specific heat of the coating increases,” said Narges Saffarian, the chairwoman of the board of directors of ‘Pousheshhay-e Mohafez Payeh Aab Pavan’ group.
“This coating is used in much smaller thicknesses than glass wool and stone wool which is of great importance in building facilities. The durability of this insulation is high and it does not have the corrosion common in industrial coatings. The insulation itself adheres to the surface and is highly durable due to the elimination of condensation,” she added.
“The product is proper for reducing the temperature of the external surfaces of industrial equipment, including tanks and reactors, and it also reduces fuel and energy consumption in equipment with high temperature and thermal energy, specially in petrochemicals, refineries and metal industries,” Saffarian said.
