Pyrogel XT

 

Flexible Industrial Insulation For High Temperature  Applications

 

Pyrogel XT is a high-temperature insulation blanket formed of silica aerogel and reinforced with a non-woven, glass-fiber batting.

Silica aerogels possess the lowest thermal conductivity of any known solid. Pyrogel XT achieves this industry-leading thermal

performance in a flexible, environmentally safe, and easy-to-use product.

Ideal for insulating piping, vessel, tanks, and equipment, Pyrogel XT is an essential material for those seeking the ultimate in thermal

efficiency.

  

Physical Properties

 

 

Advantages

 

Superior Thermal Performance

Up to five times better thermal performance than competing insulation products

 

Reduced Thickness and Profile

Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness

 

Less Time and Labor to Install

Easily cut and conformed to complex shapes, tight curvatures, and spaces with restricted access

 

Physically Robust

Soft and flexible but with excellent springback, Pyrogel XT recovers its thermal performance even after compression events as high as 100 psi

 

Shipping and Warehousing Savings

Reduced material volume, high packing density, and low scrap rates can reduce logistics costs by a factor of five or more compared to rigid, pre-formed insulations

 

Simplified Inventory

Unlike rigid pre-forms such as pipe cover or board, the same Pyrogel XT blanket can be kitted to fit any shape and design

 

Hydrophobic Yet Breathable

Pyrogel XT repels liquid water but allows vapor to pass through, helping to prevent corrosion under insulation

 

Environmentally Safe

Landfill disposable, shot-free, with no respirable fiber content

Thermal Conductivity

 

 

Thickness Required for Personnel Protection

Design conditions: 

Ambient temperature = 86°F (30°C)

Wind speed = 2.2 mph (1 m/s)

Surface emissivity = 140°F (60°C)

Specification Compliance and Performance

 

Pyrogel XT can be cut using conventional cutting tools including scissors, tin snips, and razor knives. The material can be dusty, and it is recommended gloves, safety glasses, and dust mask be worn when handling material. See MSDS for complete health and safety information.
