Brandenburger Thermal Insulation Material
Brandenburger Thermal Insulation Material—quotes and sourcing from Protech International. Available in 15 configurations.
Brandenburger's thermal insulation boards sit directly inside a heated press's clamping-force path. Unlike a generic insulator, they're engineered to hold their thickness and insulating value under sustained heat and pressure, not just resist heat passively.
The line spans a wide temperature range across three families. BRA-GLA®, KV®, and XGD® grades for general heated-press and tooling service (200–280 °C long-term); GL® mica boards for higher continuous temperatures (400–500 °C); and BRA-BOARD® silicate boards for the highest continuous temperatures (500–1,000 °C), where compressive strength matters less than pure heat resistance. S 4000® and S 4000 HT® are the classic load-bearing glass-fiber laminate grades this line grew from.
A few older type-codes we've sourced before (BRA-GLA N, BRA-GLA KA, BRA-GLA MP, BRA-BOARD HT175, BRA-FLEX) no longer appear on Brandenburger's current site. They may have been renamed or consolidated into the grades below. We can still source them on request; tell us the code and application and we'll confirm the current equivalent.
