Forte
Compared to conventional heat insulation materials such as rock wool heat insulation materials, calcium silicate heat insulation materials, and water-repellent perlite heat insulation materials, it has between approximately one-half to one-third the thermal conductivity.
Despite being thinner, it offers heat insulation performance equivalent to that of conventional heat insulation materials.
It is both water-repellent and permeable to water vapor. It emits moisture from the inside of the heat insulation material to the outside in the form of vapor and also prevents the ingress of rainwater from the outside surface of the heat insulation material, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI).
It is a soft and flexible sheet with excellent recovery properties.
It can easily be cut with a box cutter knife or the like and adapts to complex shapes, curves, and narrow spaces.
Different from pipe covers and molded board-shaped heat insulation materials, Pyrogel XTE can support various pipe diameters, shapes, and thicknesses on its own.

Note 1: The width indicates the product’s nominal dimensions.
Note 2: Pyrogel XTE may generate heat on its own depending on the usage method. If the temperature of the installation site is 400°C or more, please consult us.
Note 3: The density is a typical value.
Note 4: The water repellency is maintained when heated. If the water repellent (silane compound) experiences thermal decomposition, some pyrolysis gas may be produced.
