KOOLMAT INSULATION
 SOUND ABSORPTION ~ VIBRATION ~ SHOCK ~ IMPACT

KOOLMAT HEAT INSULATION

KoolMat ® insulation is a composite material of silicone cured to the surface and weave of a high temperature fiberglass substrate. The silicone offers a great resistance to abrasion, radiant heat, gasses and oils and is suitable for continuous use at temperatures up to 500º F. The fiberglass side will withstand temperatures up to 1100º F. KoolMat insulation also performs well at low temperatures, remaining flexible down to -40º F.

Koolmat insulation is available in 60" X 150' rolls for cutting

In addition to outstanding thermal performance, KoolMat insulation is an excellent sound deadener. Testing has shown KoolMat to reduce noise by as much as 23 decibels. In automotive applications, road and engine noise are significantly reduced with KoolMat insulation.

In this example, Koolmat Insulation is used in place of a refractive, a common hi temperature fabric flex joint material, due to its superior durability in areas of temperatures, environmental exposure, vibration and sound dampening. The example shown has been in place for 2 years with no visible signs of deterioration.
