Aerogel Insulation Solutions

Traditional insulation materials like rock wool and glass wool suffer from high thickness, moisture absorption, limited temperature range, and poor fire performance—leading to energy loss, corrosion, and safety risks in industries from new energy to extreme environments. Hebei Woqin’s nano-aerogel felt changes the game. Produced via sol-gel and supercritical drying, it forms a nanoscale 3D porous network with 99.8% porosity, delivering thermal conductivity as low as 0.020 W/(m·K) at 25°C (GB/T 10295-2008). Key performance: Extreme temperature stability: −196°C to 650°C Ultra-thin efficiency: 3 mm layer equals 25 mm glass wool, saving 80% space and reducing weight 50% Fire safety: A1 non-combustible (GB 8624-2012), mass loss 2.1%, furnace temp rise 2°C, no sustained burning Hydrophobicity 99.7% (GB/T 10299-2011), preventing condensation corrosion Tensile strength 1255 kPa transverse / 414 kPa longitudinal (GB/T 17911-2006) Durability: no degradation after 1000 cycles (−50°C ↔ 600°C) From hydrogen tanks and EV batteries to refinery pipes and Antarctic pipelines, nano-aerogel felt slashes energy consumption 35%, extends maintenance cycles 8–10 years, and drives sustainability across industries.

Hebei Woqin’s nano-aerogel felt changes the game. Produced via sol-gel and supercritical drying, it forms a nanoscale 3D porous network with 99.8% porosity, delivering thermal conductivity as low as 0.020 W/(m·K) at 25°C (GB/T 10295-2008). This structure traps air molecules, creates tortuous conduction paths, and achieves performance lower than static air.

Six Performance Advantages Redefining Industry Standards

  1. Extreme temperature adaptability: Stable from −196°C (liquid nitrogen) to 650°C (industrial kilns); >99% insulation efficiency verified (ASTM C177).
  2. Ultra-thin efficiency: 3 mm layer equals 25 mm glass wool, saving 80% installation space and reducing pipeline weight by 50%.
  3. Fire safety: Class A1 non-combustible (GB 8624-2012), mass loss 2.1%, furnace temp rise 2°C, no sustained burning, oxygen index >38%.
  4. Environmental responsibility: Halogen- and asbestos-free, RoHS compliant, 90% recyclable.
  5. Thermal management: Thermal stability error <1% under large temp swings; no degradation after 1000 cycles (−50°C ↔ 600°C).
  6. Economic gains: Installation efficiency ×4; maintenance cycles extended 8–10 years; lifecycle energy consumption reduced by 35%.

Transforming Global Application ScenariosNew energy: Hydrogen tank insulation thickness cut by 60%; lithium battery protection response time reduced to 0.3 s.
Industrial energy saving: Refinery steam losses reduced from 15% to <3%; data center cooling costs cut by 40% (ASHRAE verified).
Polar science: Antarctic pipelines resist freezing at −89.2°C.
Everyday life: EV cruising range extended by 8% with 3 mm aerogel layers; Berlin passive houses piloting invisible ultrathin aerogel insulation.

Installation and Maintenance: Simplifying Complexity
Flexible cutting: Easily shaped with handheld tools.
Non-destructive disassembly: 95% reuse rate, 70% lower maintenance cost.
Smart adaptation: RFID-enabled digital lifecycle management.

Environmental Protection and Safety: A Dual Commitment
Each square meter of aerogel felt prevents 2.3 tons of CO₂ emissions (ISO 14040). Recognized by NASA as standard insulation for deep-space missions and promoted by EU REACH as a priority green technology, aerogel felt is now scaling rapidly, with costs dropping 15% annually.

Conclusion
From spacecraft to EV batteries, from Arctic pipelines to tropical data centers, nano-aerogel insulation felt is weaving an invisible safety net. Once reserved for aerospace, it is now transforming industry and daily life, offering lighter, thinner, and greener protection. In the near future, aerogel will be embedded in walls, batteries, and even wearables—becoming the “invisible armor” safeguarding human progress.
