Pyrogel

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.
