Waterproof Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Blanket

Aerogel is a solid form of matter, the least dense solid in the world. The density is 3kg/ m3. The common aerogel is silicon aerogel, which was first developed by the American scientist Kistler in 1931. There are many kinds of aerogel, including silicon, carbon, sulfur, metal oxide, metal and so on. aerogel is a combinatorial word, where aero is an adjective meaning to fly, and gel is obviously a gel. It literally means a gel that can fly. gel of any substance can be called aerogel as long as it can be dried to remove the internal solvent, but also can basically keep its shape unchanged, and the product has high porosity and low density.
 Since aerogel has many excellent characteristics, it can be developed as industrial products such as insulating quilt and plank; Taking the advantage of extremely low density, aerogel can be used to lower the density of bulk materials like polymer. These derivative products of aerogel can be widely applied to multiple industrial field.

Waterproof Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Blanket


The hydrophobicity of aerogel felts refers to their ability to repel water.
Structurally, they have a nanoporous structure that makes it difficult for water molecules to enter. Moreover, their hydrophobicity can be enhanced through chemical modification. The hydrophobicity is mainly measured by the contact angle. A large contact angle indicates good hydrophobicity.
In practical applications, hydrophobicity can prevent water from entering the insulation layer, avoid problems such as reduced insulation performance and material damage, and also enable aerogel felts to maintain stable performance in humid environments.

What are the main applications of hydrophobic aerogel felts?

Industrial Pipeline Insulation Field

  1. Petrochemical Industry
    In the process of petroleum refining, there are a large number of high-temperature pipelines used to transport crude oil, heavy oil, various petrochemical products, and high-temperature steam. Hydrophobic aerogel felts can prevent corrosion caused by condensation on the surface of pipelines. Meanwhile, their excellent thermal insulation performance can reduce heat dissipation and improve energy utilization efficiency. For example, in the insulation of crude oil transportation pipelines, it can keep the oil temperature stable during long-distance transportation and reduce problems such as changes in crude oil viscosity caused by temperature changes.
    For the connection parts between reaction kettles and pipelines in chemical production, hydrophobic aerogel felts can effectively prevent dangerous reactions caused by the contact of chemical substances with water when they leak. At the same time, they can also ensure the thermal insulation effect of the pipelines and ensure that chemical reactions are carried out under appropriate temperature conditions.
  2. Power Industry
    In thermal power plants, hydrophobic aerogel felts can be used for the insulation of steam pipelines and hot water pipelines. They can resist the high-temperature steam environment, prevent water from entering the insulation layer, maintain good thermal insulation performance, reduce heat loss, and improve power generation efficiency. For example, in the insulation of steam pipelines of supercritical units, using hydrophobic aerogel felts can effectively reduce the heat dissipation loss of the pipelines, enabling the steam to maintain a relatively high temperature and pressure during transmission, thereby improving the work efficiency of steam turbines.
  3. Metallurgical Industry
    During the metal smelting process, a large amount of high-temperature waste gas needs to be transported and treated through pipelines. Hydrophobic aerogel felts can be used for the insulation of these waste gas pipelines. They can prevent the condensation of water vapor in the waste gas on the inner walls of the pipelines, avoid pipeline corrosion, and also help maintain the temperature of the waste gas, facilitating subsequent waste gas treatment processes, such as waste gas waste heat recovery and utilization.

Building Insulation Field

  1. External Wall Insulation
    Hydrophobic aerogel felts can be used as external wall insulation materials. Their light and thin characteristics will not increase the thickness of the wall too much. Moreover, their good waterproof performance can prevent rainwater from penetrating into the wall insulation layer and avoid the decline in the performance of the insulation materials due to moisture. In the external wall insulation of buildings in areas with relatively high humidity, such as coastal cities or regions with frequent rainfall, their application can effectively improve the durability of the external wall insulation system.
  2. Roof Insulation
    In roof insulation, hydrophobic aerogel felts can prevent damage to the insulation layer caused by roof ponding or rainwater penetration. They can maintain a good thermal insulation effect on the roof while improving the waterproof performance of the roof and extending the service life of the roof waterproof layer and the insulation layer. For example, in flat-roofed buildings, using hydrophobic aerogel felts can effectively reduce the indoor temperature in summer and prevent the loss of indoor heat through the roof in winter.

Cold Chain Logistics and Refrigeration Facilities Field

  1. Insulation of Refrigerated Vehicles
    For the insulation system of refrigerated vehicles, hydrophobic aerogel felts can prevent external water vapor from entering the insulation layer of the vehicle compartment. During transportation, especially in environments with large changes in temperature and humidity, they can keep the low-temperature environment inside the vehicle compartment stable, reduce the energy consumption of refrigeration equipment, and extend the driving range of refrigerated vehicles. For example, in refrigerated vehicles transporting fresh food, using hydrophobic aerogel felts can ensure that the temperature inside the vehicle compartment is always maintained within the appropriate low-temperature range to ensure the freshness of the food.
  2. Insulation of Cold Storage
    In the wall and roof insulation of cold storage, hydrophobic aerogel felts can prevent the occurrence of condensation. Because there is a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cold storage, it is easy to form condensed water on the surface of the insulation layer. The waterproof performance of hydrophobic aerogel felts can effectively avoid this situation, ensure the stability of the cold storage's thermal insulation performance, and reduce refrigeration costs.
