2025 Ultra-Thin Aerogel Blankets – Real Prices & Australian Projects

I’ve Been Selling Aerogel Blankets Since 2016 – Here’s What Actually Happens in 2025

My name is Ruibin. I run woqin. We make the stuff in Hebei and ship containers to Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Rotterdam every week.

Let me save you three months of bullshit marketing pages.

Yes, brand-new aerogel blanket hits 0.02 W/m·K in the lab.

Yes, after five years stuck on a hot pipe or a salty coastal wall, the good ones are still under 0.022–0.025. The cheap ones with no opacifier and bad hydrophobicity climb past 0.035 and you’re back to rock wool.

We only ship the good ones now.

What changed everything after 2022:

We ditched supercritical drying completely (too slow, too expensive). Everything is now ambient-pressure dried with proper silylation + carbon opacifier. Same performance, price dropped 60% in three years.

Real 2025 factory-direct prices (FOB Tianjin, minimum one roll or one container):

6 mm – USD 11–13 per m²

10 mm – USD 16–18 per m²

15 mm (heavy duty, 200 kg/m³) – USD 24–27 per m²

20 mm – USD 31–34 per m²

You can literally scissor-cut it on site, it doesn’t itch, doesn’t burn (A1 fire rating), and stays hydrophobic for decades.

Four jobs we actually did in the last 18 months:

Passive house retrofit in Northcote, Melbourne

Builder had exactly 11 mm between the brick veneer and the new internal frame. 10 mm aerogel blanket + 1 mm air gap got them certified Passivhaus with U-value 0.19 on the walls. Owner says the house is now silent and the ducted heating barely runs.

Battery factory in Adelaide

They needed to stop thermal runaway propagation between pouch cells. 3 mm aerogel blanket between cells (yes, three millimetres) bought them an extra 23 minutes before the next cell ignited. Insurance company loved it.

APY Lands indigenous housing – same UniSA pilot I mentioned last week

Light steel frame + 10 mm aerogel blanket behind the internal lining. In 48 °C desert summer the indoor peak dropped from 38 °C to 29 °C with only a tiny evaporative cooler. Cameron Wilson measured it himself.

LNG transfer line in Karratha, Western Australia

10 mm blanket under aluminium cladding on −162 °C lines. Surface temperature on the jacket stays under 18 °C even in 42 °C ambient. Boil-off slashed by more than half compared to the old perlite section right next to it.

One rule that never changes:

Don’t compress it more than 15%. If you squash a 10 mm blanket down to 4 mm to “save space”, performance dies. We’ve seen it a hundred times.

Want to touch it before you specify it on your next job?

I post 1–2 m² free samples worldwide every day. You only pay DHL – usually USD 120–180 to Australia.

Comes with the test reports, a roll of our aluminium-foil tape, and my WeChat so you can yell at me at 2 a.m. when the builder is doing it wrong.

Stop reading glossy PDFs that were written by interns.

The only way to know if aerogel blanket actually works for your job is to cut it, fold it, stick it on a hot cup of coffee and watch nothing happen.

Message me the thickness you think you need and what you’re trying to achieve – I’ll tell you in ten minutes if it’ll work or if you’re better off with VIPs or something else.

We’ve already made all the expensive mistakes so you don’t have to.
