Cabot Corp. has developed the Aeroclad(TM) blanket, a flexible high-temperature insulation material formed by integrating Cabot's silica aerogel within a non-woven, inorganic fiber batting. The Aeroclad blanket delivers a dust free, flexible wrap that takes advantage of the superior thermal insulation performance and hydrophobic nature of aerogel.

Cabot has created this new aerogel blanket product with exceptional corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) characteristics, and without dust, to significantly outperform the currently available competing products. Aeroclad insulation delivers more than twice the thermal insulation protection compared to conventional high temperature insulation materials such as mineral wool, calcium silicate and fiberglass. The blanket also offers significantly lower water retention and faster drying, minimizing the potential for CUI.

The Cabot Aeroclad blanket delivers the unparalleled performance and benefits of an aerogel product while addressing a clear market need for dust free and superior corrosion performance. Key attributes include: highly insulating; hydrophobic; superior corrosion performance; dust free; fire resistant; easily cut or sewn; flexible; thin and lightweight; and quick and easy installation.
