ArmaGel® DT — Technical Overview & FAQs

What is ArmaGel® DT?

ArmaGel® DT is a dual-temperature aerogel insulation blanket designed for industrial systems that experience both hot and cold operating conditions. Engineered with Armacell’s advanced aerogel technology, ArmaGel® DT delivers ultra-low thermal conductivity, exceptional moisture resistance, and long-term durability across a wide temperature range.

Ideal for facilities that operate mixed-system pipelines, ArmaGel® DT provides one solution for chilled, ambient, and moderately hot service—reducing complexity, installation time, and material handling for contractors and system designers.

Where is ArmaGel® DT typically used?

• Mixed hot-and-cold process piping systems
• Industrial processing facilities and chemical plants
• HVAC chilled water and heating loops
• Low-to-mid temperature industrial equipment
• Applications requiring one insulation solution for multiple temperature zones

What makes ArmaGel® DT different from other insulation materials?

• Dual-temperature capability—effective in both hot and cold service
• Extremely low thermal conductivity due to aerogel technology
• Hydrophobic construction to prevent moisture uptake and CUI
• Lightweight and flexible for quick, easy installation
• Reduces insulation thickness compared to conventional materials
• Excellent mechanical durability during thermal cycling
• Suitable for retrofits and new installations across diverse systems

Is ArmaGel® DT resistant to moisture and CUI?

Yes. ArmaGel® DT is designed with exceptional hydrophobic properties, helping to:
• minimize moisture absorption
• reduce the risk of corrosion under insulation
• maintain long-term thermal performance
• resist environmental exposure even during temperature swings

Hydrophobicity persists even when the blanket is cut or compressed.

Is ArmaGel® DT safe for industrial use?

Absolutely. ArmaGel® DT is engineered for use in a wide range of industrial and HVAC environments. It is:
• lower dust than traditional aerogel blankets
• safe to handle with standard PPE
• compatible with typical jacketing systems
• suitable for systems requiring both cold and moderate heat insulation
