FAQ - Wedge India’s FSMP® Microporous Insulation
1. What is Wedge FSMP® Microporous Insulation?
Wedge FSMP® is an ultra-low thermal conductivity insulation made from fumed silica, opacifiers, and reinforcing fibers. It is engineered for high-temperature applications up to 1200 °C while achieving the same performance as conventional insulation at up to 75% less thickness.
2. What makes FSMP® different from conventional insulation materials?
Unlike mineral wool, calcium silicate, or ceramic fiber, FSMP® has micropores smaller than the mean free path of air molecules, reducing heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. This delivers 4–5× better insulation performance at high temperatures.
3. Which product formats are available?
FSMP® is available as:
-
Rigid boards/panels – for flat walls, furnace linings, doors.
-
Flexible blankets/quilted panels – for curved surfaces, piping, and complex shapes.
-
Molded pipe sections – for consistent, pre-formed pipeline insulation.
-
Custom kits – pre-cut parts for OEMs and specific equipment.
4. What is the maximum operating temperature?
FSMP® grades are rated for continuous use up to 1000 °C or 1200 °C depending on the product. Always check the datasheet for the specific classification temperature.
5. How thin can FSMP® be compared to other insulation?
Microporous insulation can achieve the same performance at up to 75% less thickness compared to mineral wool or calcium silicate. For example, a 25 mm FSMP® board can match the insulation value of ~100 mm of mineral wool at 600 °C.
6. Is FSMP® hydrophobic?
Yes. Hydrophobic grades are available that repel liquid water and prevent moisture absorption—ideal for outdoor, damp, or condensation-prone installations.
7. Is FSMP® safe to handle?
Yes. FSMP® is A1 non-combustible, free of harmful respirable fibers, and environmentally friendly. Normal PPE such as gloves and masks are recommended during handling to prevent dust inhalation.
8. What are typical applications in industry?
-
Metals: Steel/aluminium ladles, tundishes, furnace back-up linings.
-
Petrochemical: Reactors, vessels, high-temp pipelines.
-
Glass/Ceramics: Forehearths, kilns, forming areas.
-
Power: Turbine casings, steam lines, thermal storage units.
-
OEMs: EV battery thermal barriers, aerospace components, fire doors.
9. Can FSMP® be cut or shaped on site?
Yes. Rigid boards can be cut with standard tools; flexible blankets can be trimmed with knives or scissors. Always follow Wedge’s installation guide for best results.
10. How does FSMP® compare to imported brands?
FSMP® offers comparable technical performance but with 20–30% lower cost, faster delivery, and local engineering support. Being manufactured in India, it avoids import duties and long lead times.
11. Do you provide engineering or design support?
Yes. Wedge offers free thermal design assistance, product selection guidance, and custom fabrication services to suit your application.
12. What are the available coverings?
Standard coverings include E-glass cloth, aluminium foil, mica sheet, and ceramic paper. Custom coverings are available on request.
