Pyrogel® XTF is a high-temperature blanket insulation, engineered by incorporating silica aerogel and reinforced with a non-woven high-temperature batting. Its unique properties enable it to be both a passive fire protection (PFP) and thermal insulation blanket suitable for all industries where fire protection and thermal insulation are required simultaneously.
Passive Fire Protection – Pyrogel® XTF
Pyrogel® XTF is commonly selected for its ability to provide improved thermal performance with reduced thickness and excellent passive fire protection properties conforming to UL 1709 testing standards.
Pyrogel® XTF delivers better thermal performance, improved resilience and faster installation time than other competing insulation systems used in industrial fire insulation applications today. Pyrogel®’s hydrophobic nature also minimizes Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) substantially.

System provides protection against jet fires for up to 2 hours (UL 1709) and hydrocarbon pool fires for up to 4 hours (ISO 22899).
Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness.
Up to 5 times better thermal performance than competing insulation products.
Pyrogel® XTF repels liquid water but allows vapour to pass through thus helping to prevent Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).
Unlike rigid pre-forms such as pipe cover or board, the same Pyrogel® XTF blanket can be kitted to fit any shape or design.
Could easily be cut just by using a pair of scissors and be fitted to complex shapes, tight curvatures, and spaces with restricted access.
Soft and flexible but with excellent springback, Pyrogel® XTF recovers its thermal performance even after compression.
Landfill disposable, shot-free, with no respirable fibre.
