Overview
Synrock Aerogel Insulation Coating is a premium water-borne coating formulated with hydrophobic micro-grade silica aerogel powder as the core functional material, combined with water-based emulsion and other components. It combines thermal insulation, acoustic damping, and the lightweight characteristics inherent to aerogel in a single liquid-applied product.
Available in two variants: room-temperature grade (for building envelopes and general industrial use) and high-temperature grade (for equipment and pipelines up to 300 °C).
Key Features
- Thermal conductivity: ≤ 0.045 W/m·K at 25 °C (dry film)
- Service temperature: ≤ 300 °C (high-temperature grade)
- Adhesion strength: ≥ 0.6 MPa
- Surface dry time: ≤ 2 hours
- Alkali resistance (24 h), water resistance (96 h), temperature cycling: no abnormality
- Initial drying crack resistance (6 h): no cracks at 2 mm notch
- Water-based, non-toxic, benzene-free — safe for indoor and outdoor use
- Service life: ≥ 15 years
- Application: brush, roller, or spray coating
Thickness vs. Thermal Resistance Comparison
| Insulation System | Thickness | Thermal Resistance (m²·K/W) |
|---|---|---|
| Aerogel Insulation Coating | 2 mm | 0.400 |
| Glass Microsphere Mortar | 35 mm | 0.400 |
| Rock Wool Board | 20 mm | 0.407 |
| Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) | 15 mm | 0.391 |
Applications
- Exterior wall insulation for steel structure buildings, warehouses, and factories
- Existing building energy retrofit (exterior or interior insulation — no added thickness)
- Curtain wall and dry-hung stone/aluminum panel interior insulation
- Underground garage ceiling waterproofing and anti-condensation
- Industrial high-temperature equipment: oil tree manifolds, crude oil tanks, high-temperature pipelines, valves
- Ceramic kilns, hydrogen production furnaces, electrolytic aluminum facilities (energy-saving anti-scald system)
- Cold storage, grain silos, field camp barracks, modular housing
Proven Case Studies
University Office Building Retrofit: Construction time shortened by 1 month+; insulation system overall cost reduced by ~10%; waterproofing-insulation-finish layer thickness less than 1/10 of conventional materials; HVAC energy consumption reduced to under 30% of design; annual CO₂ reduction approximately 3,126 tonnes.
Ceramic Kiln Energy Saving (High-Temperature Grade): Surface temperature of equipment significantly reduced; heat radiation loss decreased; workshop ambient temperature improved. Energy consumption reduced by ≥ 6%; equipment service life extended by 5–8 years.
Electrolytic Aluminum Plant (Anti-Scald System): Equipment flue gas internal temperature 90–110 °C; after 4 mm coating, surface temperature reduced to below 55 °C; maintenance cost reduced by 80%+; equipment life extended by 5+ years.
Application Guide
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1. Surface Prep | Remove oil, rust, and loose matter from metal surfaces; perform anti-corrosion treatment first. Ensure surface is clean and dry. |
| 2. Mixing | Thoroughly stir the coating before use to ensure uniform consistency. |
| 3. Application | Apply first coat at 2–3 mm; allow full dry before next coat. Repeat until required thickness is reached. Apply by brush, roller, or spray. |
| 4. Curing | Allow natural drying for 3+ full days before putting into service. Surface should be free of visible oil, loose particles, and standing water. |
