Firstly, Let's learn what is Aerogel Blanket ?

Aerogel blankets are highly effective thermal insulation materials due to their low thermal conductivity and lightweight nature. However, selecting the right one requires careful consideration of several factors. Here's a guide to help you make an informed decision:

1. Temperature Range:

Operating temperature: Aerogel Blanket has a wide operating temperature range, typically from -200°C to 800°C. Ensure the chosen blanket can withstand the expected temperatures in your application.

Huatao Model can be chosen as below:
We have two series for Aerogel Blanket: One is the HT650 Series, Other is the HT200 Series:
HT650 was Aerogel insulation blanket with fiberglass, similar to Pyrogel XT and Spaceloft ( mainly used for hot &heat insulation and building insulation, working temperature from -200℃ to 650℃), the thermal conductivity from 0.018-0.023 W/m.k
HT200. Aerogel insulation blanket with Aluminium foil, similar to Cryogel Z (mainly used for cold insulation, such as LNG, Working temperature from -190℃-150℃ ), the thermal conductivity from 0.019-0.021 W/m.k

2. Environmental Conditions:

Humidity: Some aerogel blankets (Pyrogel XTE) are sensitive to moisture. If the environment is humid, consider a hydrophobic aerogel blanket. but we also have the hydrophilicity can be chosen.

3. Mechanical Properties:

Compression resistance: Aerogel Blanket can be delicate. If the blanket will experience mechanical stress, select one with sufficient compression resistance.

Flexible: Mainly used for Pipe Insulation, the flexible is necessary.

4. Thermal Conductivity:

R-value: The R-value measures a material's resistance to heat flow. Higher R-values indicate better insulation. Aerogel blankets generally have high R-values.

Specific application: The required R-value depends on the application's heat transfer requirements.

5. Thickness:

Insulation needs: The thickness of the Aerogel Blanket influences its thermal resistance. Thicker blankets generally provide better insulation.

Space constraints: Consider the available space for installation when determining the thickness.

6. Cost:

Budget: Aerogel blankets can be more expensive than traditional insulation materials. Compare costs and benefits to determine if the investment is justified. But compare with the Famous Brand, Huatao Aerogel Blanket will be more competitive.

For now, Aspen is the largest manufacturer in the world and with good quality,and at the past 10 years, China is almost blank in the Aerogel Industry, recently years, with the advancement of technology, there was a few factories start the mass production from lab 1000m3 to 3000m3 to 500000m3 right now. in China, there was so few factory have this big ability to provide with big production. China aerogel need to develop the market at such environment, the chinese aerogel factories would like to give a more competitive price to client to instead of the ASPENThis is why our price is interesting for you. and i believe that our quality will make you interesting too.

7. Installation:

Ease of installation: Consider the complexity of installing the aerogel blanket. Some may require special handling or equipment. We have HUATAO Installtion Manul for client to reference. It will be very easy!

8. Certification and Standards:

Compliance: Ensure the aerogel blanket complies with relevant industry standards and certifications (We have the full serise ASTM C1728 which made by SGS, Also own a CE Certificate for European companies)

Here is some SGS Test Report List for your reference:

Additional Considerations:

Fire resistance: Some aerogel blankets are inherently fire-resistant, while others may require additional treatments.

Durability: Consider the expected lifespan of the blanket and its resistance to aging and degradation.

Supplier reputation: Choose a reputable supplier with experience in aerogel technology.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select the most appropriate aerogel blanket for your specific thermal insulation needs.
