Aerogel Foamed Shape

Aerogel Foamed Shape is a customizable aerogel board based on ceramic fiber board, offering high physical strength, a smooth surface, and extremely low thermal conductivity of 0.017-0.023 W/(m·K) at 25°C. It withstands a maximum long-term operating temperature of 850°C, within a published applicable range of -50 to 1000°C. Hydrophobicity is 99% (with hydrophilic or hydrophobic versions available), chloride ion content is 0.001%, and density is customized per project. The board format suits flat or shaped insulation positions inside high-temperature equipment where a rigid, machinable panel is preferred over flexible blankets.

Typical applications listed by the manufacturer include petrochemical and steel industry furnaces, high-temperature industrial furnaces, household appliances, and industrial ovens. The board serves as an insulation material for equipment that runs hot and needs thin, strong insulation: with aerogel’s ultra-low conductivity, equivalent insulation is achieved at roughly one-fourth the thickness of traditional materials, freeing internal space or reducing enclosure size. The 0.001% chloride ion content is relevant for applications near stainless steel, where chloride-induced stress corrosion is a concern. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic versions can be selected to match the service environment.

Yes – customization is the core of this product. Specifications are produced on request, and the manufacturer states the product can be tailored to the desired shape, with density customized as well. Buyers should provide drawings or dimensional sketches, target thickness, operating temperature, and mechanical requirements so the factory can propose the board construction. The ceramic fiber board base gives the panel excellent compressive and tensile strength and a smooth surface, which supports machining or cutting to project geometries. Sample pieces for fit and performance verification can be arranged before volume production.

The published applicable temperature range is -50 to 1000°C, with a maximum long-term operating temperature of 850°C. Treat 850°C as the continuous ceiling for design purposes and the 1000°C figure as the broader resistance boundary; confirm the rating for your specific build in the current TDS, since construction choices (density, hydrophobic treatment) can influence high-temperature behavior. For equipment with thermal cycling between extremes, validate board integrity under real conditions during pilot runs. The board’s strength helps it survive handling and installation, but like all rigid insulation it should be supported against mechanical abuse in service.

The manufacturer states that, with its ultra-low thermal conductivity of 0.017-0.023 W/(m·K) at 25°C, the aerogel foamed shape achieves equivalent insulation at about one-fourth the thickness of traditional materials – allowing thinner hot-face linings, smaller enclosures, or lower shell temperatures at the same thickness. Compared with plain ceramic fiber board, it adds aerogel’s conductivity advantage while keeping a rigid, strong, smooth-surfaced panel. It also offers 99% hydrophobicity in the hydrophobic version, reducing moisture uptake in humid plant environments.
