High Temperature Insulation Market Dynamics

The rising adoption drives the global high temperature insulation market growth in the aerospace industry for satisfying fireproofing regulations.

Rising adoption in the aerospace industry for satisfying fireproofing regulations

The demand for high temperature insulation has been steadily growing in the aerospace industry. In industries such as aerospace, the equipment is exposed to intense temperatures due to external factors (intentional or accidental), which creates the need for the right thermal insulation to ensure passenger's safety and protect vital instruments.

Insulation is vital for limiting the transfer of heat and reducing the energy needed to raise temperatures. According to FAA fireproofing regulations, commercial engine cowlings must be able to withstand a fuel-fed flame of 2000°F for fifteen minutes without flame penetration. There are two approved spray-on coatings to satisfy the requirement, MA-25 S and 64-C1-2.

Many in the industry have been conscious of reverser core failures in heat-induced degradation going unseen under spray-on coatings. Hence, the utilization of high temperature insulation presents removable reverser insulation blankets for CF6-50, CF6-6 and CF6-80 engine series. The insulation prevents a burn through and backside ignition for at least fifteen minutes. Each insulation blanket acts as a fireproof barrier following FAR 25.1191. The material also satisfies and complies with the criteria and requirements described in Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular AC 20-135.

Side effects associated with the use of materials

The side effects associated with the use of the materials can hinder the growth of the high temperature insulation market. The utilization of insulating materials in buildings has helped in energy conservation but has also conceived the risks of fire and health. For example, some insulating materials can add to the spread of a fire, while others create toxic gases. The insulation in the walls of a room can alter the pace of the increase of a fire. Insulation will decrease heat transfer to other areas, thereby increasing the temperature in the fire room.

Higher temperatures in the fire room will stimulate the burning of materials, increasing the heat released into the room. Insulation may also influence the execution of heat-producing devices, such as cables, electrical wires and electrical fixtures. Insulation installed around the heat-producing device can overheat the device and can ignite combustible materials in contact with it.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis on High Temperature Insulation Market

Due to the pandemic, the high temperature insulation industry has seen a notable impact from some of its end-users. The majority of the demand for high-temperature insulation was incorporated from construction, electrical & electronics, petrochemicals and other industries. The levels of activities in numerous industries, such as building & construction, aerospace were low and project schedules were postponed.

Furthermore, many raw material manufacturers and insulating material companies continued to work with regulatory guidelines. Due to interruptions, end-users began postponing non-essential purchases and disengaged from the consuming processes by lessening their insulating materials demand. For instance, during the pandemic, UK construction industry has faced a loss of $US 413 million (£301.5 million) per day. Hence, the outbreak has adversely impacted these industries, resulting in a downfall in demand for the high temperature insulation foam market.

However, the market demand has been stable in other end-user industries, including petrochemicals, electrical & electronics, power generation, and others. The market is expected to boom after the pandemic, with sectors aiming to work with higher production rates to recover from the incorporated losses.

High Temperature Insulation Market Segmentation Analysis

By type, the high temperature insulation market is segmented into the polycrystalline fiber, fiberglass, CMS Wool, super wool, mica, ceramic fiber, insulating firebricks.

Mica high temperature insulation market is expected to grow because of its excellent thermal and electrical properties

Mica is expected to hold a significant share in the high-temperature insulation market in the forecast period. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral with excellent thermal and electrical properties. Mica composite laminates are available in roll, sheet or tube form, with sheet and roll being the most prevalent in applications such as furnaces. It works in very thin sheets, which are highly flexible and can be cut, stamped and shaped into various forms. Pure phlogopite mica can resist temperatures of up to 1000C. Mica is often composited with additional materials like mineral wool or ceramic fibers to improve its thermal and physical properties.

In its rigid form, mica is perfect for product designing and manufacturing various consumer appliances. The mineral offers high insulation in consumer appliances due to its exceptional thermal and dielectric insulating capabilities that withstand the needs of high-temperature applications. Several consumer appliances can only work if they reach high temperatures without risk to their safety or ability to function reliably. It is extensively employed as an insulator for hairdryers, microwaves, space heaters, ovens, capacitors and other consumer appliances. The mineral has versatile applications in consumer appliances because of its physical, chemical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties.
