摘要

Thermal insulation structure having at least one flexible layer based on compressed expanded graphite particles characterized in that the density of the said flexible layer is equal to at least 0.4 g/cm3 (400 kg/m3) and in that the thermal insulation structure also includes another layer close to the flexible layer based on compressed graphite particles with a lower density, typically less than 0.4 g/cm3 (400 kg/m3). Preferably, the dense compressed expanded graphite layer has a density of between 0.5 and 1.6 g/cm3 (500 and 1600 kg/m3) and the sub-dense compressed expanded graphite layer has a density of between 0.05 and 0.3 g/cm3 (50 and 300 kg/m3). Thermal insulation elements are also described that are designed to be fitted on furnaces operating under non-oxidizing atmosphere and at temperatures of more than 800° C.
