Mold insulating material.A six-page technical brochure describes GlasTherm as a premium thermal insulation The term thermal insulation can refer to materials used to reduce the rate of heat transfer, or the methods and processes used to reduce heat transfer. Heat is transferred from one material to another by conduction, convection and/or radiation. material that has superior heat resistance for holding in the heat in molds. Two grades of GlasTherm are available with continuous use temperatures up to 550 [degrees]. GlasTherm is designed with high compression strength properties up to 49,000 psi PSI - Portable Scheme Interpreter and offers a guaranteed thickness tolerance of [+ or -] .002" on all sheet sizes of 36" x 72" and 48" x 96" in thicknesses of .250, .375, .500, .750 and 1". GlasTherm is said to provide cost savings to molders, realized through reduction in steam, electric and/or natural gas consumption, as well as shorter start-up Start-up The earliest stage of a new business venture. times, reduction in downtimes, increased cycle times, protection of machinery components and/or improved product uniformity, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the literature. Depending on the application, an insulating board that measures 3' x 3' x .5" can save thousands in energy savings annually, according to the literature. Technical brochures, samples and cost savings analyses are available. (Dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not ) Circle 111 on card |
