Aerogel Insulation Jacket

Aerogel Insulation Jacket is a highly customizable, removable insulation sleeve made from aerogel blanket as the base material, with a high-temperature fiber cloth surface. It is reusable, long-lived, corrosion-resistant, and provides thermal conductivity of 0.019-0.023 W/(m·K) at 25°C with a density of 180 kg/m³. The jacket is installed and secured using fasteners or other methods, so it can be removed and refitted for equipment maintenance – unlike fixed insulation that must be replaced after every inspection. The fiber cloth surface makes the sleeve waterproof, dustproof, and non-shedding.

Typical applications listed by the manufacturer include high-temperature pipelines and their connections, thermal equipment, HVAC systems, and injection molding machines – essentially valves, flanges, joints, barrels, and irregular hot surfaces that need both insulation and maintenance access. Because the jacket is tailored to fit the size and shape of the insulation area, it suits complex geometries where rigid sections or blanket wraps are awkward. The applicable temperature range is -200 to 800°C, covering cryogenic-leaning duties through high-temperature process equipment, and the 99% hydrophobicity supports use in humid plant environments.

Each jacket is made to order: specifications are customized according to requirements, so buyers provide dimensions, drawings, or photos of the target equipment along with operating temperature and environment. The factory then patterns the sleeve to fit, selecting surface cloth and closure method – fasteners or other securing arrangements – to suit. Installation requires no special tools: the sleeve wraps the component and is fastened in place, and it can be removed and refitted repeatedly for inspection or maintenance. For best results, measure equipment at operating condition where thermal expansion matters, and confirm fit with a sample jacket for first-of-kind shapes.

Published specifications include: applicable temperature of -200 to 800°C; density of 180 kg/m³; thermal conductivity at 25°C of 0.019-0.023 W/(m·K); hydrophobicity of 99%; and chloride ion content of 0.001% – the low chloride figure being relevant for stainless steel equipment where stress corrosion cracking is a concern. The surface is high-temperature fiber cloth, making the jacket waterproof, dustproof, and non-shedding, which keeps both the plant environment and the insulated surface clean. Specifications are customized per order, so confirm the final construction’s values in the current TDS or project specification before approval.

The manufacturer states the jacket surpasses traditional materials in thermal conductivity, meaning thinner, lighter sleeves achieve the same surface-temperature or heat-loss targets – important around congested pipework and moving machine parts. Reusability and corrosion resistance extend service life compared with single-use insulation removed at maintenance. The fiber cloth surface resists water and dust and does not shed particles, suiting clean production areas such as injection molding shops. Because each jacket is patterned to the component, fit quality is better than generic wraps, reducing thermal leaks at joints. Confirm comparative performance for your duty with a heat-loss calculation during technical review.
