    Saving Weight, Volume And Dollars While Improving Performance

Aspen Aerogels products have demonstrated a 40% weight savings over conventional fire rated insulation systems used shipboard. Coupled with a 50% reduction in thickness, this translates to tremendous savings on topside weight and volume. The superior thermal insulating power and hydrophobic properties of Aspen Aerogels blanket materials make them the ideal solution for chill water lines as well as steam pipe insulation shipboard.
