Glastherm S 

Mold and Platen Thermal Insulation is a fiberglass reinforced thermoset polyester composite material

 

[Bullet] High heat resistance
[Bullet] High compressive strength
[Bullet] Low thermal conductivity
[Bullet] Low moisture absorption and durability
[Bullet] Resists oils and is maintenance free.

Low Temp is particularly suited for the rubber industry. The lower temperature insulation is rated in the 425° to 450°F range. 

High Temp - is rated at 550° F and is particularly suited for plastics and zinc die cast mold requirements.

Both high temp and low temp material possess high heat resistance, high compressive strength, low thermal conductivity, low moisture absorption and durability.  It resists oils and is maintenance free.
