VACUUM-FORMED SHAPES

Experience Superior Insulation with NUTEC's Vacuum-Formed Shapes

NUTEC Vacuum-Formed Shapes Portfolio

Vacuum forming is a wet forming process that uses various fiber types and binders to form the wet product. After forming, the product dried and finished to desired tolerances.Vacuum formed products can be made with organic or inorganic (no smoke) formulations to meet your product requirements. Vacuum formed shapes are available with special densities upon request and are available in a wide variety of shape configurations.

MaxForm shapes are processed from alumina and silica blends for applications with temperatures up to 3000°F (1650°C). SuperMag shapes are processed from a low biopersistent fiber (LBP), manufactured from pure raw materials and processed to offer excellent performance in high temperature application.
