Ultra-Thin Aerogel Pipe Insulation

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.

Flame-resistant insulation meets ASTM E84 0/0 for flame and smoke.

Specifications Met: ASTM E84 0/0 for Flame and Smoke

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 are flame resistant, meeting ASTM E84 0/0 for flame and smoke. Insulation performs best at temperatures above 1000° F.

Silica High-Temperature Sleeving

Made of silica, this sleeving can withstand higher temperatures than fiberglass. It resists open flame and molten metal splash, so it’s a good choice for welding applications. It also withstands oil and gasoline. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.

Flexible Silica Fabric Sheets and Strips

More flexible than standard silica fabric, wrap these sheets and strips to insulate pipes, wires, and hose. This fabric also protects against welding spatter and can be used as curtains, covers, and splash shields. Containing 96% silica, this material has one of the highest temperature ratings of any fabric we offer.

Ultra High-Temperature Flange-Mount Rope Edge Seals

These seals have a strong Inconel core covered with woven silica yarn that’s been treated to withstand extremely high heat. They resist most refrigerants, salts, and grease. The flange on these seals slides into a slot that is commonly found on oven, furnace, and boiler doors; it can be positioned to cover large gaps.
