Fireproof thermal barrier

Tempro from SMI is reported to be one of the most thermally efficient and lightweight insulation materials available today. Tempro is extensively used as a thermal barrier in SMI's Cold-Stop, which is an alternative to the old plastic strip curtains traditionally used in cold rooms and freezers to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions.

Cold Stop provides a cost effective thermal barrier to the ambient air when a door is left open or in use. It reduces the duty on evaporator equipment, allowing optimum settings to quickly achieve an appropriate internal working temperature and has proven energy savings of up to 33% in freezers.

The company also produces a fireproof version of its Tempro thermal material, which is included in all its Tempro product range to BS5867 Pt2:1980 Type B using BS 5438: 1076 Test standard.
