Hot Insulation – Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel HPS

Products

Introduction to Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel® HPS

Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel® HPS are the most effective high temperature insulation material in the industry. Its low thermal conductivity of any known solid which makes Pyrogel® the leader for industrial and marine insulation. Pyrogel®XTE is available in 5mm & 10mm blankets and Pyrogel® HPS is available in 10mm blankets.

Features of Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel® HPS

Both Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel® HPS shares the following characteristics:

  • Delivers mid to high temperature range insulation (0⁰C to 650⁰C).
  • Have extremely low thermal conductivity (k-value) that reduces heat loss.
  • Light weight, thin profile and robust material.

Their distinctive features are as follows:

Corrosion Under Insulation
Pyrogel® XTE is engineered for

Maximum protection against Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).

CUI
Pyrogel® HPS is engineered for

Optimal thermal performance at high temperature of up to 650°C.

Applications of Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel® HPS

Pyrogel® XTE and Pyrogel® HPS are ideal for insulating pipes, vessels, tanks, and equipment in a variety of industries. It is a high performing material that is durable to wear, tear and extreme weather conditions, thus it is widely accepted by many industries that include:

  • Downstream Oil and Gas Industry - Refineries, Petrochemical Plants and Gas Processing Plants
  • Upstream Oil and Gas Industry - Subsea Piping and Offshore Platforms
  • Marine and LNG Vessels
  • Power Generation Sector

Key Benefits

SUPERIOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE

Up to five times better high-thermal performance than competing insulation products.

Value of Industrial Insulations

THIN PROFILE

Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness of other insulation. Extremely useful for constrained spaces.

HPS Insulation Thickness

HYDROPHOBIC YET BREATHABLE

Pyrogel® repels liquid water but allows vapor to escape, there by keeping pipe and equipment drier for longer. Pyrogel supports unrivaled CUI defense, better process stability, and extends the life of your assets.

REUSABLE

Pyrogel® is easily removed for inspection and maintenance and can be reused in original service, reducing downtime and eliminating the need to purchase replacement insulation at regular maintenance cycles.

LESS TIME AND LABOR TO INSTALL

Pyrogel® insulation is easily cut and shaped to complex equipment, tight curvatures, and spaces with restricted access.

SHIPPING AND WAREHOUSING SAVINGS

Reduced material volume, high packing density, and low scrap rates reduces shipping volumes.

SIMPLIFIED INVENTORY

Unlike rigid pre-forms such as pipe cover or board, the same Pyrogel® blanket can be kitted to fit any shape or design.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE

Aspen Aerogel’s high-temperature insulation is landfill disposable, shot-free, with no respirable fiber content.
