Marine Fiber Mineral Board (MFMB)

Product Overview

Thermal Insulation for Marine and Industrial Applications
Service Temp: -40°C to 649°C | Thickness: 25 mm – 102 mm

Our MFMB Boards are advanced resin-bonded fibreglass insulation panels designed specifically for marine and industrial thermal protection. These high-performance boards are engineered for use in ship hulls, decks, bulkheads, and other structural boundaries where insulation must endure high temperatures, mechanical vibrations, and moisture-prone conditions.

Product Construction & Finish

• Core Material: High-density resin-bonded fibreglass wool

• Top Facing: Laminated with Type E glass fibre cloth for a smooth, durable finish

• Form Factor: Rigid insulation board – available in custom-cut sheets or panels
  
  

Thermal Performance

• Thermal Conductivity: Low thermal conductivity ensures energy-efficient performance

• Temperature Range:

  • Minimum operating temp: -40°C (ideal for cold environments like NZ marine decks)

  • Maximum service temp: Up to 649°C (1200°F)

• Applications: Minimises heat transfer through steel hulls and bulkheads, reducing HVAC load in vessel compartments and offshore units
  
  

Fire & Safety Benefits

• High fibre density supports passive fire resistance in shipboard environments

• Non-combustible core helps maintain compartmental integrity during fire exposure

• Vibration-resistant and dimensionally stable, even under thermal cycling
  
  

Moisture, Mould & Hygiene Control

• Low water vapour absorption – helps prevent condensation and corrosion

• Resists fungal or bacterial growth, meeting marine hygiene expectations

• Ideal for high-humidity zones and cold surface applications where moisture control is critical
  
  

Common Applications

• Insulation of marine hulls, decks, and fire-rated bulkheads

• Engine room partitions and structural thermal separation in ships

• Offshore platforms and oil rig modules requiring long-term high-temp insulation

• Industrial zones with heavy mechanical vibration and high heat transfer paths
