Aerogels Insulation

LIT Industries, Inc. is proud to be a Partner/Fabricator and Stocking Distributor of Aspen Aerogels™, manufacturer of revolutionary insulation materials made from nanoporous aerogel, the world's lowest density solid and most effective thermal insulator. These materials are available in an advantageous flexible form for service temperatures from -460°F (-270°C) to 1200°F (650°C). This wide range enables the insulation to perform in low, high and dual temperature applications.

Aerogels have a broad range of applications: Commercial Cooking Equipment, Building and Construction, Refining and Processing Industries, LNG Ships, Storage and Transfer Systems, Removable Insulation Covers, Transportation, Apparel, Military and Aerospace, and more.

The advantages of Aspen Aerogels are numerous:

  • Two to eight times the insulation value for the same thickness compared to traditional materials
  • Extremely thin profile, which increases the internal volume within tight spaces (more usable area for the same footprint)
  • Easy fabrication
  • Hydrophobicity: Aerogels have outstanding resistance to moisture
  • Excellent resistance to flame spread and smoke emission
  • Lighter weight than other insulation materials on an installed basis
  • Environmental friendliness: Aerogels support the Green movement

As a stocking distributor, LIT Industries inventories both Aspen's Pyrogel® and Cryogel™ products. Pyrogel is used in high temperature applications, while Cryogel is used in sub-ambient and cryogenic applications.

As a Partner/Fabricator, LIT Industries is equipped to fabricate these materials to your specifications. Our precision die cutting, laminating, slitting-sheeting and encapsulating capabilities can meet your most demanding specifications.
