Description
[Aspen Aerogels] A flexible high-temperature insulation blanket formed of silica Aerogel that is reinforced with a non-woven, glass-fiber batting. Pyrogel blankets provide exceptional passive fire protection and superior thermal performance in an easy to install, lightweight format. In addition to maintaining a constant temperature, the Pyrogel blankets are hydrophobic and breathable, thus allowing any covered material to maintain a constant environment even in moist, hot, or cold conditions.
- Pyrogel XTE: best for thermal and acoustical insulation and corrosion inhibition; of used for pipes (Datasheet)
- Pyrogel XTF: best for passive fire protection and acoustics (Datasheet)
- Pyrogel HPS: best for high temperature service (Datasheet)
- Pyrogel XTZ: available with factory-applied foil vapor barrier that is best for low- to moderate-temperature applications such as chilled water piping.
Applications
- Fire prevention
