Industrial thermal insulation for high temperatures

We’ve developed a special high-performing mineral wool range, ULTIMATE™ U Tech, which offers higher performance and efficiency due to outstanding lambda values at temperatures up to 700°C.

ULTIMATE™ U Tech is efficient, light and compressible providing higher levels of insulation at lower thicknesses versus traditional stone wool.

up to 35% better thermal efficiency
up to 30% thinner
up to 50% lighter

Industrial pipe insulation for large-diameter pipes

Flexible insulation for large-diameter process pipes usually takes the form of wired mats. At ISOVER, we’ve developed a range of standard stone wool wired mats with different densities and thermal performances. Alternatively, you could opt for ISOVER U TECH wired mats in ULTIMATE™ for “extra plus” energy efficiency.
