What is the temperature range of the AG65 flexible aerogel blanket?

Pure aerogel can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C (US standard), but AG65 uses a glass fiber felt as its base material, and that felt has a maximum temperature resistance of 650°C (US standard). The blanket's maximum operating temperature is therefore set by the base material at 650°C, not by the aerogel itself. The specification table lists an applicable range of -200 to 650°C; for cold insulation duties specifically, the page recommends the PET aerogel blanket, which is designed for low-temperature service.

How is AG65 installed for pipe insulation?

Installation is straightforward: wrap the aerogel blanket around the pipe and secure it with wire. The blanket is easy to cut and install without specialized tools, and detailed illustrations are available in the installation guide for aerogel blanket pipe insulation published on this site. For multi-layer builds on larger diameters or higher temperatures, stagger the joints between layers. As with any insulation system, outer jacketing, banding, and weather protection should follow the project specification rather than the blanket alone.

What is the expected lifespan of AG65, and can it be reused?

With years of technical improvements, the AG65 aerogel blanket can last over 15 years in service, even in most acidic or alkaline environments, provided the operating temperature does not exceed the allowed range. The blanket is reusable, which is practical when insulation must be removed for inspection or maintenance. In building insulation applications, where fire exposure does not occur, the material can be used for more than 100 years. Actual service life in any project depends on the temperature, environment, and installation quality.

Flexible Aerogel Insulation Blanket (AG65)

Product Description

AG65-Aerogel blanket is made through a process of sol-gel, immersion, gelation, and supercritical extraction to remove the solvent, forming a 3D porous structure. The aerogel particles are attached to a glass fiber needle-punched felt with a density of 180 kg/m³. It can be produced in rolls or sheets, offering excellent properties such as fire resistance, super insulation, and soundproofing. Its easy cutting and installation features mean you don’t even need specialized tools.

Typical Applications

Insulation and thermal protection for industrial heat distribution networks.
Insulation for medium to high-temperature industrial equipment or furnaces.
Thermal insulation for steam turbines.
Insulation for pipeline insulation and thermal protection.
Building insulation

Insulation Principle Introduction

The 3D porous structure of aerogel has voids smaller than the diameter of air molecules, creating a vacuum-like insulation environment. Heat transfer through convection is completely blocked. With a porosity of over 95%, combined with the glass fiber’s ability to withstand temperatures up to 650°C and its flexibility, the aerogel blanket is particularly advantageous for insulating pipes, tanks, and other equipment requiring bending.

Manufacturer & Engineering Notes

Manufacturing & Project Experience

Anchor Aerogel has nearly 20 years of R&D and production experience in aerogel insulation, and the AG65 blanket reflects that process maturity: decade-long technical work has significantly reduced the dusting that affects other aerogel blankets, and economies of scale allow pricing over 30% lower than competitors. We support buyers with samples, technical advice, and comprehensive insulation solutions for pipelines, tanks, furnaces, and steam turbines. The thermal conductivity comparison and the pipeline case data on this page are drawn from our own testing; project-specific values are confirmed in the current TDS or a formal quotation.

Engineering Boundaries & Custom Options

Standard AG65 is a flexible blanket at 180 kg/m3 density, in 3/5/6/10 mm thicknesses, 1500 mm width, 99% hydrophobicity, and an applicable range of -200 to 650°C; customized thickness is available. Performance boundaries are defined by the glass fiber base: although pure aerogel withstands higher temperatures, the blanket's ceiling is 650°C. Published data show AG65 matching 100 mm rock wool or ceramic fiber blanket at only 30 mm thickness on a 300°C pipe. Limitations: it is not load-bearing, requires jacketing outdoors, and for cold insulation the PET aerogel blanket is recommended instead.

FAQ

Is AG65 suitable for Cold Insulation

For cold insulation, we recommend using our PET aerogel blanket, which offers excellent cold resistance.

Transport Safety

Our aerogel blanket is very safe to transport. Its main chemical component is silica, which is non-flammable, non-explosive, and non-toxic.

Difference Between Aerogel Blanket and Aerogel Felt

Aerogel felt comes in sheets, while the blanket is in rolls.

Lifespan

With years of technical improvements, our aerogel blanket can easily last over 15 years, even in most acidic or alkaline environments, as long as the temperature does not exceed the allowed range. It is also reusable. If it is used for building insulation and does not have a fire, it can be used for more than 100 years.

Advantages Over Nano Microporous Boards

The glass fiber base provides stronger structural integrity, making it suitable for applications with vibrations. It is also more flexible for curved surfaces like pipes and tanks, whereas nano microporous boards are better suited for flat surfaces. Additionally, our product is 50%-60% cheaper than nano microporous boards.
