Mold platen insulation prevents flow of heat from mold to bzody of press & thus minimizes heat losses. Mold platen insulation is used on both sides of the mold in order to control mold temperature & conserve energy losses. Mold platen insulation lowers energy costs by maintaining mold temperature.
Mold platen insulation must have following properties
Low thermal conductivity
High compressive strength at process temperatures
Excellent control of thickness dimensions
Ability to withstand rough handling during mold changes
Our Thermocem Boards is an excellent choice for mold platen insulation, which meets above requirements.
