Cryogel Z
FLEXIBLE INDUSTRIAL INSULATION WITH INTEGRAL VAPOR
BARRIER FOR SUB-AMBIENT AND CRYOGENIC APPLICATIONS
Cryogel Z is flexible aerogel blanket insulation with an integral vapor barrier. It is
engineered to deliver maximum thermal protection with minimal weight and thickness
and zero water vapor permeability.
Cryogel Zs unique properties extremely low thermal conductivity, superior flexibility,
compression resistance, hydrophobicity, and ease of use make it essential for those
seeking the ultimate in thermal protection for cryogenic applications.
Using patented nanotechnology, Cryogel Z insulation combines a silica aerogel with
reinforcing fibers to deliver industry-leading thermal performance in an easy-to-handle
and environmentally safe product.
Cryogel Zs extremely low thermal conductivity reduces heat gain and liquid boil-off, its
blanket form minimizes installation labor, and its inherent flexibility makes the product
durable and resistant to mechanical abuse.

Nominal Values
Superior Thermal Performance

Up to five times better thermal performance than competing insulation products
Reduced Thickness and Profile
Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness
Less Time and Labor to Install
Easily cut and conformed to complex shapes, tight curvatures, and spaces with
restricted access
Zero Permeability Due to Integral Vapor Barrier
Provides redundant moisture protection in an easy-to-install package
Physically Robust
Soft and flexible but with excellent springback, Cryogel Z recovers its thermal
performance even after compression events as high as 850 psi
Environmentally Safe
Landfill disposable, shot-free, with no respirable fiber content

Shipping and Warehousing Savings

Reduced material volume, high packing density, and low scrap rates can reduce
logistics costs by a factor of five or more compared to rigid, pre-formed insulations
Eliminates Contraction Joints
Because it remains flexible even at cryogenic temperatures, Cryogel Z eliminates the
contraction joints used to prevent compressive failure in other insulation materials
