Cryogenic & LNG Insulation

Maintain stable insulation performance for cryogenic systems, LNG infrastructure, and ultra-low temperature industrial applications.

Cryogenic insulation and LNG insulation applications operate under extremely low temperatures, typically ranging from -160°C to -196°C. These conditions are commonly found in LNG storage tanks, cryogenic pipelines, transfer lines, and ultra-low temperature industrial systems. Under such environments, insulation materials must effectively reduce heat ingress, minimize thermal losses, and maintain stable insulation performance under large temperature differentials and thermal cycling.

Aerogel cryogenic insulation blanket materials, based on nano-silica aerogel technology, provide ultra-low thermal conductivity and lightweight, flexible installation performance. With thermal conductivity as low as 0.0125 W/m·K at cryogenic temperatures, aerogel insulation blankets are widely used for LNG tank insulation, cryogenic pipeline insulation, and low temperature industrial insulation systems where minimizing heat transfer and controlling boil-off gas (BOG) are critical.

This makes aerogel insulation blanket a practical choice for cryogenic insulation systems requiring long-term thermal stability, reduced thickness, moisture resistance, and high insulation efficiency.
