Cellular glass as a route in its own right
Cellular glass is the fourth route in this catalogue, and it stands apart from the wool and foam routes in both its application lines and its product forms. The company homepage lists cellular glass for industrial and cold-service systems where moisture resistance is critical. That single line already tells a buyer a great deal: the route is considered where systems run cold, where moisture behaviour matters, and where industrial settings set the conditions. It is not presented as a general-purpose route for every building job, and this guide keeps that scope rather than widening it.
The brand name for the series in this route is HUAYUE BoroCell, as listed on the MIC product page. The series page in this catalogue carries the model table and the basic parameters from that page, and this guide refers to that page wherever a model or a figure is mentioned. A buyer who wants the series detail should read the series page alongside this guide, since the guide explains the route while the series page carries the model-level wording.
Forms listed for this route
Cellular glass is listed in boards, pipe sections, gravel and custom shapes. Boards suit flat assemblies and flat industrial surfaces, pipe sections suit pipework, gravel suits loose-fill and drainage-type settings, and custom shapes suit work where a standard board or section does not fit the geometry. The form page for this route describes each form group, and a buyer should state the form together with the route in the enquiry, because a board enquiry and a gravel enquiry need entirely different handling even though they share a route name.
Custom shapes deserve a note of their own, because they are the form where the enquiry must do the most work. A custom shape enquiry should describe the geometry it must fit, the dimensions that define it, and the system it belongs to, since no standard form page can carry that information. The enquiry checks in this catalogue ask for those details for exactly that reason, and a custom shape request without dimensions can only be answered with further questions.
Cold service and moisture resistance
Cold service is the setting where cellular glass is most often considered, and the reason given on the company homepage is moisture resistance: cellular glass is listed for industrial and cold-service systems where moisture resistance is critical. Systems that run cold bring moisture questions that warm systems do not, because cold surfaces and surrounding air behave differently over time. A buyer describing a cold-service job should state the temperature range the system runs in, the surroundings it runs through, and whether the system passes between cold and warm zones, since those details shape which form and which questions matter.
Moisture questions also belong in the enquiry as questions rather than as assumptions. The catalogue does not state a moisture outcome for any particular order, and a buyer should ask what applies to the items named, for the system described, in the conditions described. Stating the system, the temperature range and the surroundings gives the supplier a defined job to answer, while a bare route name leaves the moisture question unasked and therefore unanswered.
The BoroCell series and its model names
The BoroCell series, as listed on the MIC product page, carries eight model names: CGN160, HY500, HY800, HY1000, HY1200, HY1400, HY1600 and HY2400. Those names are model names from the product page, and the series page in this catalogue reproduces the model table from the same page. A buyer who already knows a model name should state it in the enquiry together with the form and the application, since the model name alone does not describe the job the material must do.
Model names in this series follow a pattern that a buyer can read without treating the pattern as a specification. The CGN160 name carries the CGN model designation, and the HY names run from HY500 to HY2400. The series page sets out the table values for each model, and this guide does not repeat the full table; it points to the series page for model-level detail and keeps its own focus on the route, the forms and the questions that frame an enquiry.
Basic parameters as listed on the MIC product page
The MIC product page lists basic parameters for the BoroCell series, and this guide quotes them only with that attribution. As listed on the MIC product page, the basic information gives a density of 160 kg per cubic metre, a thermal conductivity of 0.056 W/(m.K), a service temperature range of -268 to +480 degrees Celsius, a combustibility class of A, a flexural strength of 0.5 MPa, a water vapour permeability of 0.05 ng/(Pa.m.s) and a water absorption by volume of 0.5 vol%. Those figures are product page figures for the series as listed, and they are quoted here as listed rather than as promises for any particular order.
The same page lists a model table with thickness, width, length, pieces per package and testing method for each model, and the series page in this catalogue reproduces that table. A buyer comparing models should use the series page table together with the form and application description, and should carry any model-level question into the enquiry with the model name attached. Quantities, timing and terms for any model are confirmed in the enquiry, and no price or capacity figure is stated here or on the series page.
Applications listed on the MIC product page
The MIC product page lists applications for the series, and this guide reports them only as that page lists them. The listed applications include tank and tank base work, pipeline work, vessel work, equipment work, cryogenic ship work, and circulation and dual temperature systems. The page also lists industries in which the series is presented, including petroleum, chemical, refrigeration, underground engineering, shipbuilding, defence and residential building work, together with severe settings described as low temperature, high temperature, underground, outdoor, flammable, humid and chemical settings.
Those application and industry lines are product page lines, not confirmed suitability statements for any particular job, and a buyer should treat them as a map of where questions arise rather than as a guarantee for a specific system. A tank job, a pipeline job and a cryogenic job each raise different questions about form, geometry and surroundings, and the enquiry should describe the actual system so the reply can address it. The tank, cryogenic and industrial guides in this catalogue take up those system types in more depth for buyers who want the system view first.
Packaging and inspection wording on the same page
The MIC product page also carries packaging and inspection wording, and this guide reports that wording with the same attribution. The page lists polyethylene shrink film packaging, with a pallet packaging option and an OEM service wording. A buyer who needs a particular packaging form should state it in the enquiry, since packaging is confirmed per order together with quantity, timing and terms.
The page also lists an inspection flow by name: raw material inspection, production process inspection, factory inspection and a parallel sample tracking system. Those are process names from the product page FAQ wording, and this guide quotes them as names rather than as a description of any particular order's inspection. A buyer who needs inspection documents for named items should ask for them in the enquiry, naming the items and the documents wanted, since certificates are available upon request and document answers are tied to the items named.
Enquiry questions for cellular glass
A complete cellular glass enquiry states the route, the form, the model name where one is known, and the system the material must serve. It describes the temperature range, the surroundings and the geometry, including any custom shape dimensions, and it states the quantities involved in measurable terms such as area, length of pipework or number of assemblies. That combination gives the supplier a defined scope to answer, rather than a route name that leaves the first reply to be a round of questions.
The enquiry should also ask for the commercial and document points to be confirmed together: the quantity, the timing and the terms for the items named, the packaging form wanted, and the documents that apply to the items named. The companion guides on pipe selection, cold service and tank work cover neighbouring questions, and the cellular glass route and form pages carry the same topics in catalogue form for buyers who want the shorter version first.
Certificates available upon request. Please confirm the minimum order quantity in your inquiry before placing an order. Please confirm the lead time with the supplier before placing an order. Please confirm the trade terms and payment method before confirming an order.
