Overview of Aerogel Coating
Aerogel coating is a revolutionary insulating material created by integrating our proprietary aerogel powder into a flexible, binder matrix. This formulation transforms the raw powder into a sprayable, brushable, or trowel-applied coating that retains the core “super-insulating” properties of aerogel. It forms a seamless, monolithic thermal barrier that is thin, lightweight, and highly effective, making it an ideal solution for complex geometries and spaces where traditional insulation is impractical.
Features of Aerogel Coating
Exceptional Thermal Insulation: Provides an extremely low thermal conductivity (as low as 0.015 W/m·K), offering superior insulation in a thin layer compared to conventional materials.
Hydrophobic & Breathable: Repels liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through, preventing corrosion under insulation (CUI) and moisture buildup.
Ultra-Thin & Lightweight: Achieves high R-values with minimal thickness, saving space and reducing load on structures.
Seamless & Conformable: Creates a continuous barrier without joints or thermal bridges, perfectly adhering to complex shapes like pipes, valves, and vessels.
Fire Resistant: Inorganic silica-based formulation is non-combustible and can withstand high temperatures, enhancing fire safety.
Durable & Chemically Inert: Resists degradation from UV exposure, corrosion, and many chemicals, ensuring long service life.
Applications of Aerogel Coating
Industrial & Process Piping: Insulation for high-temperature pipes, ducts, and process vessels in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation facilities.
Building & Construction: Thermal bridge mitigation, interior wall insulation, roof coatings, and as a high-performance solution for retrofitting historic or space-constrained buildings.
Transportation: Insulation for automotive components, aerospace structures, and marine vessels to manage heat and conserve energy.
Appliance & OEM: Used in the manufacture of high-efficiency appliances, equipment, and consumer products requiring compact insulation.
Cryogenic Systems: Ideal for insulating LNG tanks, cryogenic pipes, and low-temperature storage due to its performance across a wide temperature range.

5 FAQs of Aerogel Coating
1. How is aerogel coating applied?
It can be applied using conventional methods such as spray equipment, trowel, or brush. Surface preparation is key, and our technical data sheet provides specific instructions for optimal adhesion and performance.
2. What is the typical dry film thickness required?
Due to its high efficiency, required thickness is typically only 2-5mm for many applications, compared to multiple inches of traditional insulation. Exact thickness is determined by the specific thermal performance requirements.
3. Is it safe and environmentally friendly?
Our silica aerogel coating is non-toxic, non-combustible, and contains no VOCs or CFCs. Always consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and wear appropriate PPE (mask, goggles) during application to avoid inhalation of dust.
4. Can it be used outdoors or in wet environments?
Yes. The hydrophobic nature makes it excellent for outdoor use or in high-humidity environments. It protects substrates from moisture while allowing vapor transmission.
5. How does the cost compare to traditional insulation?
While the initial material cost is higher, aerogel coating offers significant lifetime value through superior energy savings, reduced space requirements, lower installation labor, and minimal maintenance due to its durability.
