Thermal insulators are materials used for construction and industry due to their high thermal resistance capacity. VISA ISOLATION is the division specialized in the distribution of thermal insulating and fiberglass materials, within VENTAS INTERNACIONALES S.A.
Fiberglass: the thermal insulator
In the field of thermal insulation, fiberglass has become the most widely used material in both large and small construction projects. Fiberglass is formed by melting a mixture of natural sand, additives, and recycled glass in a furnace at high temperatures. Subsequently, during the cooling process, fibers are generated that bond together, creating free space with trapped air that increases resistance to heat transmission.
VISA ISOLATION’s insulating fabrics are made from different materials depending on the application: fiberglass, silica, ALF fabric, etc. The threads are woven in weft and warp to form a fabric, measuring between 6 and 9 μ in diameter, and are normally sized to prevent breakage during manufacturing.
Fiberglass: What advantages does it have as an insulator?
From INTERNATIONAL SALES we have been working for years with all types of insulating materials and we are well aware of all the characteristics and advantages offered by each one. In the case of fiberglass, the most remarkable advantages are:
- It is one of the best thermal insulators.
- It is non-combustible: it offers high protection against fire.
- It is water-repellent.
- It is permeable. It allows the passage of water vapor.
- It does not require exhaustive maintenance.
- It is durable.
Sale of thermal insulators
VISA ISOLATION offers a wide range of thermal insulation products: each construction project is unique and singular, so it is necessary to find the optimal solution that best suits it.
- Fiberglass fabrics: our fiberglass is available in 50 m rolls and various widths, according to customer requirements.
- Reinforcement meshes: used in those cases where the product needs to be reinforced and supported in order to have greater resistance to breakage.
- Intumescent fabric: used for fire protection, from 180º C of heat load on one side begins the process of extension; this extension leads to an increase in thickness from 0,2 cm. Up to 1.5 – 3 cm. Depending on temperature and duration.
- High tenacity meshes: used in the automotive industry for airbag reinforcement.
- Alf fabrics: these special fabrics are made of 70% alumina and 30% silica.
- Fiberglass tapes: used for the coating of pipes or thermal panels of large constructions.
