Product Overview

Pyrogel® XTE is a flexible, high-performance, aerogel blanket insulation designed for use in industrial and commercial 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.  Aerogel is a lightweight solid derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with air. The process of creating aerogel results in a material with extremely low density and the lowest thermal conductivity of any solid. These remarkable properties make aerogel one of the world’s most efficient insulating materials. Our patented process integrates this unique aerogel into a fiber-batting to create flexible, resilient, and durable aerogel blankets with superior insulating performance.

Typical Applications:
•  Extremely low thermal conductivity, its thin profile (75% thinner than competing materials) makes it ideal for installation in
    congested areas or to resolve mechanical clashes, increasing both plant safety and efficiency.
•  Mechanically robust, enables pre-insulation to save time and money.
•  It can be removed and reused after inspection, lowering total cost of ownership.

Features & Benefits:
•  Hydrophobic and breathable, resists liquid water and avoids the damaging effects of wet insulation
•  Tough enough to maintain thermal performance even after compression events
•  Versatile format can be cut to fit any piece of piping or equipment from small-bore pipe to the largest format process vessels
   and equipment.
•  Durable format permits pre-insulation and reuse
