Aerogel, first developed in 1931, consists of more than 90% air. Thus, aerogel becomes a highly effective insulating material from any solid material with low thermal conductivity. Developed by Aspen Aerogels and 2 to 8 times more effective than conventional insulation products, AeroGel offers the most suitable options for use in different applications by transforming it into an extremely strong, durable, thin and flexible insulating material.
Advantages of Aerogel insulation products:
- Lowest heat transmittance compared to any industrial insulation product
- 2 to 8 times more insulation performance than traditional methods
- Same or better insulation performance with lower weight and less volume
- Significant savings in operations and in cost
LNG Vessels, Storage and Transfer systems
In the growing LNG market, there are options to provide cost savings in large quantities in tankers, container systems and piping, with AeroGel's premium quality insulation. The heat per unit of measurement results in a performance penalty, which results in system and operational savings.
Building and Construction Sector
Aerogel's building and construction solutions provide the highest R-value (ultra-thin profile) and avoid heat bridges. Structural and construction solutions are increasing the energy efficiency of buildings by providing insulation at places that are not possible before.

Removing Petroleum from the Sea
Aerogels enables users around the world to save millions of dollars in submarine applications. Aerogel's in-pipe insulation provides equivalent or better heat performance than conventional insulation. The slim profile significantly reduces the outer pipe diameter, saving space and reducing total costs
Processing Industry
Aerogel offers superior quality insulation solutions in hydrocarbon, chemical and food processing operations. Aerogel, which is used in many areas to improve the efficiency of the pipes by reducing energy losses, contributes to saving energy and money in piping
Products
Aerogels insulation products provide maximum heat protection with minimum weight and thickness. Aerogels are offered in three product groups, Cryogel for low temperature applications, medium temperature applications Spaceloft and high temperature applications Pyrogel. The range of thicknesses available in each product range meets your needs.
