3.2.1 Insulation materials
The characteristic properties of the individual
ProRox
® products are described in Chapter 4. For
special applications, such as high-temperature
insulation systems, cold insulation products or an
additional spacer, it may be necessary to use
ProRox
® products in connection with other
insulation products. These may include, for
example:
CMS Calcium-Magnesium-Silicate fibers for
high-temperature insulations
Cellular glass as a spacer or as a support
In any case, it is important that the product
properties and processing instructions are taken
into consideration during the application of these
products. Further product information can be
found in the various standards and regulations,
such as DIN 4140, CINI, VDI 2055 and various
other ASTM standards for example.
