Silica Aerogel Material

Aerogel blanket is made of Aerogel material. The thermal conductivity of aerogel insulation blanet at normal temperature is 0.018 W/mK, which can greatly reduce the installation thickness of the insulation layer, improve the installation space and reduce the heat loss effectively, and the energy saving effect is excellent.

According to strength and softness, the composite products can be divided into two categories, aerogel felt and pneumatic rubber sheet, and the gas rubber sheet is customized. According to the maximum usage temperature, the composite products are divided into 130 kinds of temperature resistance, 650 degrees, 1100 degrees, and 1300 degrees.

Aerogel Insulation Blanket application 

Petroleum and petrochemical pipelines
Oil field is a large capacity, and it is also a big energy consumer. The total amount of thermal insulation materials used in petroleum and petrochemical each year accounts for about 1/4 of the total heat preservation material in the country. A large number of pipes and thermal equipment need to be insulated. Petrochemical thermal insulation industry mainly aims at 100~500 high temperature pipeline. The purpose of thermal insulation is to prevent the temperature drop of the medium from affecting transportation or high temperature injury.

Advantage of Aerogel blanet

1.Superior Thermal Performance
Up to five times better high-thermal performance than competing insulation products

2.Reduced Thickness and Profile
Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness. Maximize process infrastructure and resolve mechanical clashes 

3.Less Time and Labor to Install
High Temperature Aerogel Blanket insulation is easily cut and conformed to complex shapes, tight curvatures, and spaces with restricted access. Aerogel Insulation Felt supports more insulation coverage per man hour than traditional forms of insulation.

What is aerogel?

Aerogel is an advanced material which holds 15 entries in the "Guinness Book of Records" for its unique properties, including lowest density solid and best insulator. Aerogel is a silica-based substance consisting of a loose dendritic network of the atom silicon. Aerogel is manufactured by removing the liquid from a silica alcogel and replacing it with nothing but air, which makes up 99.8 percent of the final product. Some aerogels have a density as low as .001 grams per cubic centimeter (.0005 ounces per cubic inch). Aerogels are good thermal insulators because they almost nullify three methods of heat transfer (convection, conduction and radiation).
