AEROGEL
Hot application
Pyrogel® XT-E is a high-temperature insulation blanket that is formed of silica aerogel – which possesses the lowest thermal conductivity of any known solid – and reinforced with a non-woven, glass-fiber batting. Pyrogel® XT-E is our easiest product ever to handle, store, and install. It offers the same industry-leading thermal performance as Pyrogel® XT, with standard roll sizes and a product form that dramatically reduces handling dust and simplifies installation and clean-up. Ideal for insulating piping, vessels, tanks, and equipment, Pyrogel® XT-E is an essential material for those seeking the ultimate in thermal efficiency.
Advantages
Superior Thermal Performance
Reduced Thickness and Profile
Less Time and Labor to Install
Physically Robust
Shipping and Warehousing Savings
Simplified Inventory
Hydrophobic Yet Breathable
Environmentally Safe
Cold/Cryogenic Application
Cryogel® Z flexible aerogel blanket insulation is engineered to deliver maximum thermal protection with minimal weight and thickness. Ideal for use in subambient and cryogenic applications, Cryogel® Z incorporates an integral vapour retarder with zero water vapor permeability to ensure maximum protection of your assets.
Cryogel® Z insulation features unique silica aerogel within a flexible fiber blanket to deliver industry-leading thermal performance in an easy-to-handle and environmentally safe product.
Cryogel® Z’s extremely low thermal conductivity reduces heat gain and liquid boil-off. The inherent flexibility of Cryogel® Z’s blanket form minimizes installation labor, eliminates the need for contraction joints, and makes the product durable and resistant to mechanical abuse.

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-E recovers its thermal performance even after compression events as high as 100 psi
Shipping and Warehousing Savings
- Reduced material volume, high packing density, consistent roll sizes, 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-E blanket can be cut to fit any piece of piping or equipment
Hydrophobic Yet Breathable
- Pyrogel® XT-E repels liquid water but allows vapor to pass through, helping to prevent corrosion under insulation
Environmentally Safe
- Landfill disposable, shot-free, minimal dust with no respirable fiber content

Advantages
Superior Thermal Performance
- Extremely low thermal conductivity (k-value) for improved efficiency and energy savings
Reduced Thickness and Profile
- Can be installed at a fraction of the thickness of competing materials, enabling tighter packing of piping and equipment
Integral Vapor Retarder
- Factory-laminated vapor retarder provides moisture protection, prevents damage from condensation and enhances process control
Eliminates Contraction Joints
- Low-temperature flexibility eliminates the need for contraction joints, speeding installation and reducing complexity
Ease of Handling and Installation
- Easily cut and conformed to complex patterns, Cryogel® Z excels in tight spaces with restricted access, allowing easier insulation of problem areas and improved adherence to site specifications
Physically Robust
- Durable and flexible even at low temperatures, Cryogel® Z can recover from compression events and maintain performance, resulting in increased effectiveness over its lifetime
