In the heart of modern industry, high-temperature equipment and piping systems form the critical network for transporting process heat, steam, and fluids. Effective thermal management is paramount, not only for process stability and energy efficiency but also for operational safety and long-term reliability. Harsh operating conditions—from extreme temperatures and humidity to mechanical wear—pose significant challenges to traditional insulation, often leading to substantial heat loss, frequent maintenance, and costly replacements.
Compared to conventional insulation, aerogel offers up to 5x higher thermal resistance. This enables up to 80% reduction in insulation thickness and significantly decreases system weight, freeing up maintenance space while reducing mechanical load on equipment. With NMT’s proven solutions, applying just 40% of the thickness of traditional materials can lead to up to 40% reduction in heat loss.
CUI poses a hidden yet severe threat to industrial piping and equipment, often resulting in unexpected damage and costs. NMT aerogel insulation provides a proven barrier against CUI, thanks to its highly stable hydrophobic and breathable properties, which effectively block moisture penetration into insulated surfaces.
A thinner insulation system requires less auxiliary material, labor, and time for installation. NMT aerogel is lightweight and easy to process — it can be cut and installed directly on-site or even prefabricated to meet specific client requirements. During maintenance and inspection, NMT aerogel can be easily removed and reinstalled without compromising its performance.
