Additional Details
Pyrogel® XT-E is a high-temperature insulation blanket that is formed of silica aerogel – which possesses the lowest thermal conductivity of any known solid – and reinforced with a non-woven, glass-fiber batting. Pyrogel® XT-E is our easiest product ever to handle, store, and install. It offers the same industry-leading thermal performance as Pyrogel® XT, with standard roll sizes and a product form that dramatically reduces handling dust and simplifies installation and clean-up. Ideal for insulating piping, vessels, tanks, and equipment, Pyrogel® XT-E is an essential material for those seeking the ultimate in thermal efficiency.
Advantages
Superior Thermal Performance
Up to five times better thermal performance than competing insulation products
Reduced Thickness and Profile
Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness
Less Time and Labor to Install
Easily cut and conformed to complex shapes, tight curvatures, and spaces with restricted access
Physically Robust
Soft and flexible but with excellent springback, Pyrogel® XT-E recovers its thermal performance even after compression events as high as 100 psi
Shipping and Warehousing Savings
Reduced material volume, high packing density, consistent roll sizes, and low scrap rates can reduce logistics costs by a factor of five or more compared to rigid, pre-formed insulations
Simplified Inventory
Unlike rigid pre-forms such as pipe cover or board, the same Pyrogel® XT-E blanket can be cut to fit any piece of piping or equipment
Hydrophobic Yet Breathable
Pyrogel® XT-E repels liquid water but allows vapor to pass through, helping to prevent corrosion under insulation
Environmentally Safe
Landfill disposable, shot-free, minimal dust with no respirable fiber content
