Aspen Aerogel – Pyrogel XTE
Pyrogel® XTE insulation is a flexible, high-performance, aerogel blanket designed for use in industrial applications. Pyrogel XTE is engineered to deliver superior thermal performance while offering excellent protection against corrosion under insulation (CUI). Hydrophobic and breathable, Pyrogel XTE ensures long-lasting water resistance for both the insulation layer and underlying asset; they remain drier for longer, preserving process conditions, and saving energy in the harshest of environments. These characteristics make Pyrogel XTE the “go-to” insulation for industry-leading CUI defense.
With extremely low thermal conductivity, Pyrogel XTE is up to 75% thinner than competing materials. It’s thin profile makes it ideal for installation in congested areas or to resolve mechanical clashes, increasing both plant safety and efficiency. Pyrogel XTE is mechanically robust, enabling pre-insulation to save time and money. It can be removed and reused after inspection, lowering total cost of ownership.
Advantages :
- Best-in-class CUI protection
- Hydrophobic and breathable, resists liquid water and avoids the damaging effects of wet insulation
- Up to five-times better thermal performance versus competing materials
- Faster application rates, especially on large-bore pipes and vessels
- Tough enough to maintain thermal performance even after compression events
- Versatile format can be cut to fit any piece of piping or equipment
- Reduced logistics costs relative to rigid insulation—lower scrap, transport costs, and man hours on project and turnaround work
- Durable format permits pre-insulation and reuse
