Cleveland, OH (October, 2002) Jaco Products, a leader in custom
fabricated insulation materials, published a brochure that provides the
most comprehensive listing to date of high performance thermal
insulation materials.
Jaco is positioning themselves as the Supermarket for thermal insulation
materials offering a total of 17 material choices in a variety of
thicknesses and sheet sizes. The materials are used as a thermal barrier
to insulate mold bases and platens and also perimeter insulation. Stock
sizes are available for immediate delivery or Jaco can cut to size or
custom machine for the specific application.
Molders utilizing mold base and platen insulation have realized savings
up to 50% by reducing energy consumption and improving processing
variables. Thermal insulation actually controls the transfer of heat to
the production press improving the uniformity of temperature across the
tool. Consistent processing temperatures across the entire tool and
cycle-to-cycle results in increased product quality and reduced scrap.
The savings that result from the use of thermal insulation are so great
that the insulation typically pays for itself within 90 days of
installation. The brochure includes a calculator that can provide
savings gained from using insulation in a molding operation or by
increasing the thickness of insulation already in use.
The brochure is provided as a resource to processors to allow them to
compare material variables such as cost, thermal conductivity, thickness
tolerance, and compressive strength at a given process temperature.
