For years we focused on aerogel blankets and panels, but maintenance managers kept calling: “Your aerogel is amazing, but we can’t wrap every pipe, valve, elbow or irregular surface—can you make a paint version that actually works above 600°C?” We listened. We developed it. And now it’s here: a single-coat aerogel paint that sprays 600–1000 μm thick in one pass and survives 1200°C flame exposure. Key performance: fresh conductivity 0.023 W/(m·K) @ 300°C, still under 0.032 after 1000 cycles -196°C to 650°C, 95% adhesion after 1200°C flame test, salt spray 5000 h corrosion rate 0.003 mm/year. Real jobs in the last 9 months: Shandong steel mill blast furnace skirt: 0.8 mm spray on 550°C steel → surface temp from 180°C to 48°C, welding repairs cut 58%, reordered 40 drums. Guangdong LNG terminal spherical tank: coated outer shell instead of 8-layer ceramic fiber → inspection interval from 24 to 60 months, zero corrosion under typhoon salt spray. Hebei chemical plant 400°C steam line: one weekend spray → surface now 42°C, steam loss cut 68%, payback 11 months. 2025 FOB Tianjin prices (drum): Standard grey (650°C) USD 16–18/L, Silver high-reflectivity (1000°C+) USD 20–22/L, Custom colour/thicker version – ask. Rule that saves headaches: don’t thin >10% or you get pinholes. We ship pre-thinned ready-to-spray drums + 3-minute video. Free 5L drum worldwide (you pay freight USD 180–280 DHL). Comes with spray gun settings, test report, and my WeChat for midnight panic calls. This paint isn’t cheap, but one coat saving three shutdowns makes everything else obsolete. Drop your surface temp and pipe diameter — I’ll reply in 10 minutes with exact litres needed and payback calculation.

We Just Launched One-Coat 800μm Aerogel Paint That Survives 1200°C – Here’s What Happened on Real Jobs

Ruibin here from Hebei Woqin / InsulateWool.

For years we focused on aerogel blankets and panels. But every month maintenance managers would call with the same frustration: “Your aerogel is amazing, but we can’t wrap every pipe, valve, elbow or irregular surface—can you make a paint version that actually works above 600°C?”

We listened. We developed it. And now it’s here: a single-coat aerogel paint that sprays 600–1000 μm thick in one pass and survives 1200°C flame exposure.

The Problem: Impossible-to-Insulate Surfaces
Pipes, valves, elbows, flanges, furnace skirts, spherical tanks—irregular and hot surfaces are the “dead corners” of traditional insulation. Wrapping is impossible or inefficient; multiple layers of ceramic fiber or rock wool keep falling off, require frequent replacement, and create massive steam loss or heat leakage.

Our Solution: One-Coat Spray, Game-Changing Simplicity
We engineered a sprayable aerogel coating that achieves 600–1000 μm thickness in a single pass—no multi-layer hassle, no downtime for wrapping, no sagging jackets.
The coating forms a continuous, dense nano-porous matrix (hydrophobically modified aerogel particles with surface area >700 m²/g dispersed in high-performance inorganic silicate binder). This microstructure is the secret behind its ultra-low conductivity, extreme temperature resistance, and long-term durability.

Performance Data That Matters (Real-World Tested, Not Lab Fairy Tales)

  • One spray coat = 600–1000 μm thick (yes, one pass)
  • Fresh thermal conductivity 0.023 W/(m·K) @ 300°C
  • After 1000 cycles -196°C to 650°C: still under 0.032 W/(m·K)
  • Adhesion 95% after 1200°C flame test
  • Salt spray 5000 h: corrosion rate 0.003 mm/year

Three Real Jobs Completed in the Last 9 Months

1. Shandong Steel Mill Blast Furnace Skirt
550°C operating steel surface. Sprayed 0.8 mm thick. Surface temperature dropped from 180°C to 48°C. Welding repairs cut by 58%. Reordered 40 drums.

2. Guangdong LNG Terminal Spherical Tank
Coated outer shell instead of 8-layer ceramic fiber. Inspection interval extended from 24 months to 60 months. Zero corrosion under typhoon salt spray.

3. Hebei Chemical Plant 400°C Steam Line
Old rock wool jacket kept failing. One weekend spray job. Surface now 42°C. Steam loss reduced 68%. Payback in 11 months.

Pricing & ROI: Clear Investment, Fast Payback
2025 FOB Tianjin prices (drum):

  • Standard grey (650°C continuous) → USD 16–18/L
  • Silver high-reflectivity (1000°C+ peak) → USD 20–22/L
  • Custom colour / thicker version → ask for quote

How to Succeed: The One Rule & Our Support
Don’t thin more than 10%—viscosity drops and pinholes appear. We ship pre-thinned ready-to-spray drums and include a 3-minute video showing exact gun settings so your painter gets it right the first time.

Immediately Action: Get Your Free Test Sample & Custom ROI
Want to test on your furnace, tank, or steam line?
Free 5L drum worldwide — you only pay freight (USD 180–280 by DHL).
Each test kit includes:

  • Spray gun settings guide
  • Full test report (including 1200°C flame adhesion test)
  • My personal WeChat for any midnight panic calls

This paint isn’t the cheapest, but when one coat saves you three shutdowns, nothing else comes close.

Drop me your surface temperature and pipe diameter — I’ll reply in 10 minutes with exact litres needed and realistic payback calculation.

We burned the samples at 1200°C so your plant doesn’t have to.
