Abstract:
A method for the production of molded thermal insulator bodies, comprising the steps of: mixing ceramic material with additives to form a ceramic layer; placing the ceramic layer onto a lower support layer, disposed in a mold; pressing the ceramic layer and the lower support layer; applying an upper support layer to the ceramic layer; pressing the lower support layer, the ceramic layer and the upper support layer to form a base body; placing a plurality of base bodies into an enveloping cover made of a shrinkable plastic material, said plurality of base bodies being spaced from one another and the enveloping cover being welded at locations between the base bodies such that the base bodies are separated from each other; and shrinking the plastic material by irradiation so as to envelope the base bodies.
