ArmaGel® HT — Technical Overview & FAQs

What is ArmaGel® HT?

ArmaGel® HT is a high-temperature aerogel blanket insulation engineered for industrial hot-service applications up to elevated operating temperatures. Powered by Armacell’s next-generation aerogel technology, ArmaGel® HT delivers best-in-class thermal conductivity, dramatic thickness reductions, and enhanced equipment protection across refineries, petrochemical plants, power facilities, and high-temperature process lines.

Its flexible yet durable construction allows for faster installation, easier handling, and improved thermal stability—making it a premium replacement for traditional high-temperature insulation systems.

Where is ArmaGel® HT typically used?

• Refinery and petrochemical process piping
• High-temperature industrial equipment
• Power generation and turbine auxiliary systems
• Steam lines, heat-trace applications, and high-energy service lines
• Situations requiring thin-profile thermal insulation with strong CUI resistance

What makes ArmaGel® HT different from other insulation materials?

• Exceptional thermal performance using advanced aerogel technology
• Handles high operating temperatures with reduced insulation thickness
• Outstanding hydrophobicity to fight moisture intrusion and CUI
• Lightweight and flexible for quick installation and easier retrofits
• Maintains thermal stability under intense mechanical and thermal cycling
• Excellent for congested piping systems where space is limited
• Can be combined with jacketing and metal cladding systems

Is ArmaGel® HT resistant to moisture and CUI?

Yes. ArmaGel® HT is engineered with superior hydrophobic performance, helping to:
• reduce moisture absorption
• limit corrosion under insulation (CUI)
• withstand environmental exposure
• maintain thermal efficiency over time

Hydrophobicity is retained even after cutting, compressing, or shaping the blanket.

Is ArmaGel® HT safe for industrial environments?

Yes. ArmaGel® HT is designed to meet demanding refinery and processing-facility needs. It is:
• engineered for safer handling compared to traditional aerogel blankets
• low-dust to improve installer comfort
• compatible with common industrial jacketing systems
• suitable for hot systems requiring long-term thermal stability

How does it perform in high-temperature & outdoor environments?

ArmaGel® HT is specifically designed for harsh industrial high-temperature conditions, delivering:
• stable thermal performance under extreme heat
• resistance to thermal shock and cycling
• excellent long-term moisture resistance
• durability in outdoor and chemical-processing environments

It maintains insulation performance and mechanical integrity throughout years of industrial operation.

Can ArmaGel® HT be fabricated or installed easily?

Yes. ArmaGel® HT is created for efficient installation and can be:
• cut and fitted to valves, elbows, fittings, and complex geometries
• installed with fewer layers due to enhanced thermal performance
• used in both retrofit and new-build projects
• combined with aluminum or stainless-steel jacketing systems

Its lightweight flexibility reduces installation time and field labor.

What formats are available?

• Standard blanket rolls
• Multiple thicknesses
• Palletized industrial quantities
• Converter-cut or prefabricated shapes
• Custom configurations upon request (via fabricators or OEMs)
