Pyrogel
Aspen Aerogels
www.aerogel.com

Flexible nano-porous insulation blanket that is used for insulation at high temperatures. Silica-based aerogel particles incorporated into a non-woven carbon and glass fiber batting blanket that is non-toxic, supple, low dusting, and waterproof, making it ideal for wet environments. The blanket has a maximum continuous service temperature of 385°C (725°F) and a thermal conductivity at 37°C (98.6°F) of only 10-12mW/m-K; it may be cut using conventional textile cutting tools and fastened using mechanical means or by encapsulation. Sheets are available in 24 x 36 in (61 x 91.5 cm) and continuous rolls of 60 in (152.5 cm) wide and 1/8 in (0.32 cm) thick. The sheets may be cut using conventional textile cutting tools such as scissors and razor knives. Current applications include insulation pipes, footwear, extreme weather apparel, boilers and underground steam lines.
