Overview

Industrial aerogel insulation coating is intended for pipes, valves, flanges and complex equipment where conventional insulation is difficult to fit or maintain.

It is evaluated as a coating system rather than a single wet product: substrate condition, primer, insulation layer, protective finish and curing environment all affect the result.

Primer
Confirm a compatible primer for the prepared substrate.
Aerogel insulation layer
Define the build and drying intervals for the selected coating.
Protective finish
Select the finish for the intended exposure and curing conditions.

Typical applications: Hot equipment, Pipe elbows, Valves and flanges, Burn protection.

Handling and selection limits

Handling / storage

  • Confirm surface cleanliness, metal temperature and dew point before application.
  • Plan coating build, drying interval and protective topcoat around the equipment operating and shutdown window.

Selection limits

  • Not suitable for selection without operating temperature, geometry, surface condition and exposure data.
  • Do not use this summary as a corrosion-under-insulation assessment or a substitute for process safety review.

Product FAQ

Can the coating be applied to hot equipment in service?

Confirm the surface temperature, shutdown plan and compatible application window before specifying the system.

What information is needed for a trial?

Provide operating temperature, equipment geometry, current insulation, ambient exposure and available dry-film thickness.
