Low thermal conductivity flexible insulation material

Pyrogel™ XTE

Pyrogel XTE is a heat insulation Aerogel blanket that is made by impregnating silica Aerogel into glass fiber cloth.
Silica Aerogel is known as a material with the lowest thermal conductivity of any solid. It has features such as excellent thermal insulation properties, water repellency, flexibility, environmental safety, and ease of handling, and can achieve excellent heat insulation performance. Pyrogel XTE is an ideal heat insulation material for retaining heat in high-temperature pipes, equipment, and tanks, and is essential for pursuing the best possible thermal efficiency.

Forte

Compared to conventional heat insulation materials such as rock wool heat insulation materials, calcium silicate heat insulation materials, and water-repellent perlite heat insulation materials, it has between approximately one-half to one-third the thermal conductivity.
Despite being thinner, it offers heat insulation performance equivalent to that of conventional heat insulation materials.
It is both water-repellent and permeable to water vapor. It emits moisture from the inside of the heat insulation material to the outside in the form of vapor and also prevents the ingress of rainwater from the outside surface of the heat insulation material, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI).
It is a soft and flexible sheet with excellent recovery properties.
It can easily be cut with a box cutter knife or the like and adapts to complex shapes, curves, and narrow spaces.
Different from pipe covers and molded board-shaped heat insulation materials, Pyrogel XTE can support various pipe diameters, shapes, and thicknesses on its own.
