ASPEN AEROGELS

Cryogel® Z

Flexible aerogel blanket laminated to a vapour retarder, for sub-ambient, cold cycling and cryogenic service. It stays flexible at cryogenic temperatures, so no contraction joints are needed, and systems built on it add acoustic attenuation and protection against cryogenic spill, pool fire and jet fire, which makes it ideal for onshore, offshore and marine applications.

Applications: Sub-ambient, cold cycling and cryogenic service; onshore, offshore and marine (IMO compliant grade available)
