Performance Materials Thermal Insulation For heat control and hot-spot prevention
Do you need to prevent hot-spots or reduce heat transfer in your applications? Looking for a lightweight or assembly-friendly solution for managing heat? JBC Technologies can help.
As a vertically integrated converter, we have extensive experience sourcing, die cutting, and converting many flexible thermal insulation materials, including ceramic blankets, foils, films, ceramic papers, synthetic blankets, and more for a wide range of industry applications. We leverage process engineering expertise, innovative converting capabilities, and relationships with industry-leading material manufacturers to transform these raw thermal materials into custom components that can be easily integrated into your production lines.

Foils, Films, Ceramic Papers, Synthetic Blankets, and More! Thermal Management Materials We Convert
From automotive heat shields and EV battery thermal management to thermal insulation in LEO satellites, managing heat is a common challenge in almost every industry. Read below to learn more about the many thermal management materials JBC converts!
For a more comprehensive list, check out our thermal insulation material data sheet page!
Ceramic Papers & Blankets
Ceramic blankets - Flexible, lightweight, and able to perform in continuous temperatures up to 1200º C, low bio-persistent ceramic blankets such as Morgan Advanced Material’s Superwool® family, Nutec’s SuperMag-HI™, Alkegen's Insulfrax®, are ideal for high-temperature thermal insulation applications. Additional benefits include exceptional thermal insulating performance, strong chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, binder-free, and low heat storage.
Ceramic papers - Many of the same material partners that make ceramic blankets also offer a full line of Alumina Silica ceramic papers. These materials are thin, flexible, excellent for die cutting, and ideal for high temperature gasketing applications. Additional benefits include low thermal conductivity, high heat reflectance, and excellent corrosion resistance. Examples include Morgan Advanced Material’s Superwool® Papers.
Foil
Although aluminum conducts more heat than some of the other options listed on this page, it is effective as a thermal insulator because it prevents the radiation of heat by reflecting it back to its source. It is especially effective when laminated to ManniGlas®, ceramic blanket, glass mat, or another other non-woven material, such is the case with JBC’s own TABshield composites.
ManniGlas®
JBC is a premier converter of Lydall ManniGlas®, a non-respirable glass fiber paper with superior thermal resistance. A cost-effective alternative to silicone or ceramic, ManniGlas is ideal for high temperature insulation up to 1200º F. It also has a strong compression resistance and low LOI, and there are multiple grades available to choose from depending depending on your performance requirements. Learn more.
Needled Mat
Available in a variety of thicknesses and densities, needled mats are ideal non-woven products for thermal insulation in appliances, boilers, air conditioners, automotive, and other applications that require insulation that can withstand high heat. They are soft, compressible, binder free, asbestos free, and incombustible.
There are multiple classifications of needled mat including, ECR Fiber, Basalt Fiber, S Glass, E-glass, HR-glass, and Silica Fiber. Valmiera, for example, offers needled mats made from three different glass types: E-glass 600°C, HR-glass 800°C and SiO2-glass 1000+° C. Frenzelit, offers two lines: isoTHERM®, which has an application temperature limit of 750° C, and isoGLAS® which has an application temperature limit 550° C. Lewco has multiple options as well, including their E-glass fiber silica/ fiberglass composite blankets.
Synthetic Blanket
Lightweight, compressible and made of polyproplyne non-woven sound-absorbing fibers, synthetic blankets don’t just reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), they also provide excellent thermal insulation.
3M™ Thinsulate™ is a good choice for insulating car doors, headliners and more. Because it is flexible, conformable, and compressible, it is ideal for filling cavities of various thicknesses.
Other similar products include Aim Fiber’s AutoZorb® and Aim Fiber’s Polyzorb®.
Thermal Insulation FAQ
JBC sources thermal insulation materials from a wide range of industry-leading material manufacturers, including 3M, Morgan Advanced Materials, Nutec, and others.
If you would like us to die-cut a specific material from a certain vendor, let us know, and we'll work on sourcing it!
No, JBC does not typically supply rolls or sheets of raw thermal insulation materials. We provide custom die-cutting services using materials that we source from the material manufacturers, but we do not supply or distribute any raw materials on their own.
Yes, thermal insulation materials serve a different purpose than thermal interface materials (TIMs).
The primary goal of thermal insulation materials is to block or resist heat transfer, keeping heat away from sensitive components.
The primary goal of thermal interface materials is to efficiently transfer or dissipate heat away from the source.
Yes, JBC's TABshield material is not just used for acoustic damping. It is also great for deflecting unwanted heat!
Here are just a few of the many material partners we work with:
We also work with customer supplied material. If you have material that you need converted, please reach out to your sales representative or contact us for additional information.
