Aerogel Thermal Insulation Paste (AG-IP)

AG-IP is a single-component, water-based insulation paste formulated with aerogel powder and high-performance insulating additives. It is a matte, environmentally friendly paste with density of 0.40–0.55 kg/L and 80% effective content by volume, providing thermal insulation together with soundproofing and waterproofing properties. It suits both high-temperature insulation and low-temperature thermal retention. No primer is needed; it can be applied directly onto metal substrates, addressing the poor-adhesion problem of many conventional insulation materials. Typical applications include thermal pipelines, industrial storage tanks, high-temperature reactors, medical equipment cooling and refrigerated trucks.

The AG-IP series comprises twelve grades covering operating temperatures from 100°C to 1200°C in 100-degree steps: AG-IP-01 rated at 100°C up to AG-IP-12 rated at 1200°C. The overall operating temperature ceiling is stated as below 1200°C. This grading lets specifiers match the paste to the actual service temperature of the pipeline, tank or reactor instead of relying on a single general-purpose product. Grade selection should consider continuous versus peak temperature and any thermal cycling; the technical team can assist with selection when given the equipment’s operating profile. Performance of grades at intermediate conditions should be confirmed in the current TDS.

Published parameters include thermal conductivity of 0.038–0.045 W/(m·K), adhesion strength of 2.0 MPa, water resistance of 1000 hours, salt spray resistance of 1000 hours, and medium-to-high abrasion resistance. The paste complies with RoHS standards and is described as effectively eliminating CUI, corrosion under insulation, which is a key advantage for insulated steel pipelines and tanks where conventional absorbent insulation traps moisture against the metal. Unit consumption is 0.85–1.1 L per square meter and drying time is 4 hours or less at room temperature. As always, field durability depends on film build, surface preparation and exposure conditions.

AG-IP is a single-component paste applied directly without primer, which simplifies work on metal substrates and irregular geometry. It can be applied or coated onto surfaces, making it practical for special-shaped equipment, valves, flanges and fittings where board or blanket insulation is awkward. The substrate should be clean, dry and free of oil, rust scale and loose material to achieve the published 2.0 MPa adhesion. Material demand can be estimated from the published unit consumption of 0.85–1.1 L/m² for the standard build. Recommended film thickness per pass, total build for specific temperature drops and recoating intervals are not detailed on the page; confirm in the current TDS.

Key boundaries for AG-IP: select the grade to match real service temperature, since each grade is rated for a defined ceiling up to 1200°C; abrasion resistance is rated medium to high, so exposed areas subject to mechanical damage may need additional protection; and while it mitigates CUI, correct surface preparation and full film continuity remain essential. Packaging format, shelf life and storage conditions are not published on the page; confirm these plus minimum order quantity and delivery schedule in the current TDS or with the sales team. Samples can be arranged so applicators can verify workability, adhesion and finish on representative pipe sections before committing to project volumes.
