Custom High-Temperature Insulation

NUTEC Procal is a European manufacturer of custom vacuum-formed fiber components for high-temperature insulation. Founded in 1994, it is part of the NUTEC Group, which has production facilities in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. Its European headquarters are in Berriz, Spain, and the company describes itself as a leading European producer of vacuum-formed thermal insulation products.

Products and Capabilities

The company makes refractory fiber shapes using vacuum-forming techniques. These parts have a fibrous structure, low density, and high resistance to thermal shock. Depending on the formulation, they can operate at temperatures up to 1,600°C. Because the parts are custom-made, properties such as density and surface hardness can be adjusted to customer requirements.

Its product range includes:

• SILFORM H2: maximum operating temperature of 1,600°C, density of 250–300 kg/m³, mullite composition.
• SILFORM 1600: maximum operating temperature of 1,600°C, density of 250–300 kg/m³.
• SILFORM 1300: maximum operating temperature of 1,300°C, density of 300–350 kg/m³.
• SILFORM 1100: maximum operating temperature of 1,150°C, density of 250–300 kg/m³.
• PHB11ES: maximum operating temperature of 1,150°C, density of 180–230 kg/m³.
• PHB10E: maximum operating temperature of 1,000°C, density of 300–450 kg/m³.
