Aerogel Thermal Insulation

Overview of Aerogel Thermal Insulation

At ConcreteAndMore, we bring you the future of high-performance insulation with our advanced Aerogel Thermal Insulation products. Known as "frozen smoke," aerogel is the world’s lightest solid material and offers the lowest thermal conductivity of any known insulation. Our aerogel blankets, boards, and powders are engineered to provide superior heat resistance in ultra-thin profiles. Whether you are insulating industrial pipelines, high-rise buildings, or new energy vehicle batteries, ConcreteAndMore aerogel solutions deliver unmatched thermal performance while significantly reducing thickness and weight compared to traditional insulation materials.

Features of Aerogel Thermal Insulation

• Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity: Achieves as low as 0.017 W/m·K, providing maximum heat retention or cold preservation with minimal material thickness.
• Hydrophobic & Waterproof: Highly water-repellent nature prevents moisture absorption, ensuring consistent performance and long-term durability even in humid environments.
• Fire Resistance: Class A fire-rated material that withstands extreme temperatures ranging from -200°C to +650°C, offering superior safety for industrial and construction applications.
• Thin & Lightweight: Up to 5 times more efficient than fiberglass or mineral wool, allowing for slimmer insulation layers without compromising performance.
• Flexible & Easy to Install: Available in flexible blanket rolls and rigid boards, our aerogel products are easy to cut, handle, and apply on complex surfaces such as valves, elbows, and flanges.
• Compression Strength: High mechanical strength and elasticity resist deformation under pressure, maintaining insulation integrity over long service life.

5 FAQs of Aerogel Thermal Insulation

1. What is aerogel and how does it work as insulation?
Aerogel is a synthetic porous material derived from a gel where the liquid component is replaced with gas. Its nanoporous structure traps air molecules, virtually eliminating heat transfer by conduction and convection, making it one of the best thermal insulators available.

2. What temperature range can ConcreteAndMore aerogel blankets withstand?
Our aerogel insulation products can continuously operate from -200°C to +650°C, with short-term peak resistance up to 800°C for certain grades. This makes them suitable for cryogenic, high-temperature, and fire protection applications.

3. Is aerogel insulation waterproof?
Yes, our aerogel products are treated to be hydrophobic. They repel water and moisture, which prevents corrosion under insulation (CUI) and maintains consistent thermal performance even in wet or outdoor environments.

4. Can I cut aerogel blankets to fit irregular shapes?
Absolutely. ConcreteAndMore aerogel blankets are flexible and can be easily cut with a standard utility knife or scissors. This allows for custom fitting around pipes, valves, elbows, and other complex geometries without special tools.

5. How does aerogel compare to traditional insulation like fiberglass or mineral wool?
Aerogel provides up to 5 times better thermal insulation at the same thickness. It is also lighter, fire-resistant, and hydrophobic. While the upfront cost is higher, the long-term energy savings, space efficiency, and durability make it more cost-effective for demanding applications.
