Acid-Resistant Silica Insulation Sheets for Furnaces
- Temperature Range: 0° to 2000° F
- Heat Flow Rate: 0.78 Btu @ 800° F
- Density: 10 lbs./cu. ft.
- Color: White
Commonly used in furnaces and engine compartments, these flexible silica fiber sheets resist corrosive acids. They perform best at temperatures above 1000° F.
Rigid Silica Ultra-Insulation Sheets for Furnaces
- Max. Temperature: 1740° F
- Heat Flow Rate: 0.31 Btu @ 1470° F
- Density: 16 lbs./cu. ft.
- Color: See Table
Typically used in ovens and furnaces, these are the most efficient of our rigid high-temperature insulation sheets. Please note that they require special care when installing since the crumbly material is difficult to work with and will crack easily. Sheets lose strength over time and are intended to be installed behind another facing or insulation material. They resist damage from fire and moisture. Insulation performs best at temperatures above 1000° F.
Ultra-Thin Aerogel Pipe Insulation
- Temperature Range: 32° to 1200° F
- Heat Flow Rate: 0.16 Btu @ 75° F
- Density: 12.5 lbs./cu. ft.
- Color: Maroon
- Specifications Met: ASTM E84 0/0 for Flame and Smoke, ASTM C447
Lightweight and super thin, these fiber-reinforced silica aerogel sheets and strips flex into tight spaces other insulation can't. Use on process piping and in power-generating applications. Insulation can be layered, laminated, or wrapped in foil. They meet ASTM E84 0/0 standards for flame and smoke. They also meet ASTM C447, so they can be used at 1200° F continuously.

Ultra-Thin Low-Temperature Aerogel Pipe Insulation
- Temperature Range: -290° to 390° F
- Heat Flow Rate: 0.11 Btu @ 75° F
Able to withstand temperatures as low as -290° F, these super-thin, lightweight sheets are made of fiber-reinforced silica aerogel that can flex into tight spaces other insulation can't. Use in process piping and power-generating applications. Insulation can be layered, laminated, or wrapped in foil.
