ThermoDyne is a manufacturer and custom fabricator of high temperature microporous insulation, one of the most efficient types of insulation currently available for military applications in the market today.

ThermoDyne’s microporous insulation systems possess a thermal conductivity lower than still air, and minimize all modes of heat transfer simultaneously and within minimum space and weight requirements.

Combined with exemplary engineering, custom fabrication capacity, technical and customer service support, ThermoDyne is the best example of why microporous insulation has for more than 40 years been the insulation of choice for military applications including avionics and electronics insulation, thrust reversers, APU’s, engine nacelles, and firewalls.

  • Application Analysis: Providing Fire Protection for the Instrumentation Equipment of an Arleigh Burke Class (DDG) Destroyer »

    Patrick Heller
    Proposition: In an effort to increase the fire survivability of a set of sensitive instruments and electronics encased in a metal cabinet aboard Arleigh Burke Class (DDG) Destroyers currently in operation, the United States Navy began searching for an extremely lightweight insulation material that would fit within a specific space allowance and pass a series of prescribed Navy tests to ensure the proper window of safety for the equipment in the event of a high temperature fire on board the vessel.

  • Characteristics of Microporous Insulation »

    Patrick Heller
    Microporous insulation is essentially a finely ground, powdery substance comprised of a blend of ceramic powders and fibers. These materials, along with other additives that fluctuate with the application for which they are being employed, combine to form a high temperature material that provides excellent thermal stability, low thermal diffusivity and a thermal conductivity that is lower than still air.

  • Microporous Theory and Benefits »

    Patrick Heller
    The idea of microporous insulation was originally developed in the 1940's, and was originally designed to be employed primarily in nuclear, space and aerospace applications because of its ability to outperform conventional insulation systems with less material and weight in a smaller amount of useable space.
