Product Description
Pyrogel® XT is the most effective high-temperature insulation material in the industrial market, typically 2-5 times thinner than competing products. It is efficient, durable, and more productive to install. Its water resistance offers a level of protection against corrosion under insulation (CUI). It is also available in a fire-protection grade (Pyrogel® XTF) that is specially formulated to provide exceptional performance against the UL 1709 standard.
Pyrogel® XT Applications
- Hot piping and equipment
- dual temperature (contact us for limits)
- towers
- tanks
- low- and high-temperature ducts
- fire protection
Service Temperature Range
-40°C (-40°F) to 650°C (1200°F)
Thermal Performance
Pyrogel® XT is one of themost efficient industrial insulations in the world. Its required thicknesses are 50% - 80% less than other insulation materials.
Moisture Resistance
Moisture is a problem in insulation at temperatures up to 200°C. It can form within the insulation and cause corrosion under insulation (CUI). Pyrogel® XT is hydrophobic (resistant to liquid water) through the entire matrix of thematerial (not just on the surface) and provides excellent resistance to moisture. Other insulations tend to absorb moisture over time, potentially corroding the substrate. Pyrogel® XT also meets all specifications for stress crack corrosion of stainless steel.
Logistics
From procurement through installation, Pyrogel® XT simplifies logisticsbecause of its decreased volume requirements. These advantages include freightsavings, storage space, simplified inventory, and the fact that it doesn’t break in transit.
Installation
Pyrogel® XT is quickly and easily installed by wrapping it onto piping and equipment. In contrast, rigid insulation materials areinstalled piece by piece in sections, which is very labor intensive. Pyrogel® XT also is applied in longer lengths and at a faster rate than otherinsulation materials, which shortens the project schedule.
Special Applications
Overwrap System – Most hot insulation materials used today will eventually become wet, resulting in heat and energy loss, poor process control,and corrosion. This problem can be fixed by wrapping a single layer of 10 mm Pyrogel® XT with metal jacket over the existing insulation andjacketing. The Pyrogel® XT overwrap drives moisture out of the wet inner layers, resulting in improved thermal performance and reduced operatingcosts. It also decreases the outer surface temperature, helpingto protect your personnel.
High Temperature Composite System – High temperatureapplications require higher insulating values. Most hightemperature insulation materials (ceramic fiber, mineral wool,etc.) have to be applied in extremely large thicknesses toachieve such values. But for reasons such as space constraintsand economics, thick insulation might not work. In these cases,Pyrogel® XT can be used in combination with the other materialsto substantially reduce the total thickness.
