Ultra-Low Temperature Aerogel Insulation Blanket
Alfa Chemistry's ultra-low temperature aerogel insulation blanket is a cutting-edge insulation solution engineered for demanding low-temperature environments. This insulation blanket is composed of nanoporous silica (SiO2) aerogel as the thermal barrier and is reinforced with high-performance composite fibers and aluminum foil laminates. It provides the benefits of extremely low thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical flexibility, and high moisture resistance. The blanket delivers exceptional thermal performance at cryogenic temperatures, reaching as low as -200 °C, and offers a significant improvement in thermal efficiency and durability over traditional insulation materials.

Key Features & Advantages
Superior Low-temperature Insulation
This aerogel insulation blanket has an extremely low thermal conductivity at -200°C and can insulate up to 2-3 times more efficiently than traditional cryogenic materials. It enables optimal temperature maintenance in liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid nitrogen (LN2), liquid oxygen (LOX) and other cold chain systems, resulting in significant reductions in energy consumption and operating costs.
Ultra-low Density for Design Flexibility
This thermal blanket has a low density and is much lighter than traditional aerogel composites, which enhances installation flexibility in tight or complex geometries. Its slim construction reduces insulation volume by up to 80% compared to traditional materials, resulting in easier integration and reduced mechanical loads.
Moisture- and Condensation-resistant Structure
The integrated silica aerogel matrix with ≥99% hydrophobicity, combined with a specially designed aluminum foil vapor barrier, ensures excellent airtightness and prevents frosting at low temperatures. The structure has anti-condensation properties, keeping the surface free of condensation and frost even in high humidity environments.
Suitable for Cleanrooms, Safe and Reliable
This product is full of asbestos, benzene or formaldehyde and is ideal for GMP and ISO class cleanroom operations. After use, the insulation blanket is reusable and harmless, so there is no need to worry about waste disposal.
High Fire Rating
Aerogel insulation blankets are composed primarily of inorganic oxides that are inherently noncombustible (Class A flame retardant). Unlike organic foam insulation, it does not pose a risk of fire spread, thus enhancing the safety of mission-critical systems.
Longevity and Durability
The inorganic nanostructure ensures long-term dimensional stability, low shrinkage under cryogenic cycling, and resistance to thermal aging. With a service life in excess of 30 years, this blanket has one of the lowest total cost of ownership options in the cryogenic insulation market.
Applications
The aerogel insulation blanket is tailored for industries that require highly efficient, compact, and durable thermal insulation at ultra-low temperatures and in clean environments. Primary applications include:
- LNG, LN2, and LOX pipelines and storage tanks
- Cryogenic refrigeration equipment and cold storage systems
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing cleanrooms
- Semiconductor and electronics industry clean zones
- Space and defense systems requiring high-performance thermal control

2. Can this product be used in cleanrooms?
Yes, it is free from volatile organic compounds and particulates, making it suitable for high-purity pharmaceutical and electronics environments.
3. Is the aluminum foil layer necessary?
Yes, it enhances the vapor barrier properties, preventing moisture ingress and further improving thermal performance in humid or cryogenic settings.
4. How does installation compare to conventional materials?
Its lightweight and flexible design simplifies cutting and fitting, reducing labor time and enabling easier retrofits in confined spaces.
5. Is this product recyclable or reusable?
Yes, the insulation blanket is reusable and generates no hazardous waste upon removal.
6. Can it be used in outdoor settings?
Yes, its water resistance, UV durability, and long service life make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cryogenic applications.
7. Does it require a protective cladding or jacket?
While the aluminum foil acts as a barrier, additional mechanical protection may be recommended in high-impact or exposed installations.
