Insulation boards are integral to high temperature and high stress applications. Specifically, NUTEC's high performance fiber insulation boards offer exceptional thermal resistance, rendering them essential for various applications, particularly in managing the thermal conditions of furnaces and boilers.

NUTEC goes above and beyond by offering various vacuum formed insulation boards in different grades and densities with elevated temperature capabilities. One such innovation is MG 1900 board, which outperforms traditional mineral wool boards by offering vital high temperature insulation for a multitude of industrial applications.

These robust NUTEC boards are known for their strength, making them the top choice for an array of industrial uses. Their properties guarantee reliable performance, even under the harshest conditions.

Below, you can explore some key features of MG 1900 board.

3 features of MG 1900 insulation board

Exceptional performance

What sets MG 1900 insulation boards apart is their capacity to withstand high temperatures, up to 2012°F (1100°C), making them ideal for high temperature applications that exceed the limit at which other mineral wool products start to break down, typically above 1292°F (700°C).

Additionally, these insulation boards feature a water resistant coating, enhancing their moisture resistance and extending their lifespan in humid environments.


Broad versatility and range

A significant advantage of MG 1900 boards is their wide range of thicknesses, from 1/2" (13mm) to 3" (76mm), allowing users to tailor them to specific needs and applications for optimal performance, without the need to layer multiple thinner boards. 

The flexibility and range of thicknesses make them suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
