Cabot Aerogel Introduces Industrial Insulation Blanket for High Temperature Applications
New AerocladTM insulation delivers superior thermal insulation in a dust free, flexible aerogel blanket with outstanding corrosion performance
Cabot’s Aeroclad blanket can be field modified and easily installed for use in a wide range of industrial applications such as pipelines, refineries, steam lines, tanks and other equipment.
Aeroclad insulation delivers more than twice the thermal insulation protection compared to conventional high temperature insulation materials such as mineral wool, calcium silicate and fiberglass. The blanket also offers significantly lower water retention and faster drying, minimizing the potential for CUI. Key attributes include:
- Highly insulating
- Hydrophobic
- Superior corrosion performance
- Dust free
- Fire resistant
- Easily cut or sewn
- Flexible
- Thin and lightweight
- Quick and easy installation
“The Cabot Aeroclad blanket delivers the unparalleled performance and
benefits of an aerogel product while addressing a clear market need for
dust free and superior corrosion performance,” said
What is Cabot aerogel?
Sometimes called “frozen smoke,” aerogel is the lightest and best
insulating solid in the world. Cabot’s aerogel is a hydrophobic aerogel
produced as particles. Each particle consists largely of air (>95%)
contained in a structure that severely inhibits heat transfer. The
particles are incorporated by selected down-stream partners into a wide
range of systems including subsea pipeline insulation systems,
insulative coatings, building insulation boards, daylighting panels, and
more. Cabot produces aerogel in a state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility located near
