Thinner, stronger insulation delivering efficiency, durability and superior performance.

IPC Industries is proud to introduce Aspen Aerogels to our insulation product range in Southern Africa. These high performance aerogel insulation materials deliver superior thermal performance in a thinner, lighter and more durable form than traditional insulation.

Aspen Aerogels products are trusted in refineries, power plants, mining operations and heavy industry around the world. Through IPC Industries and our group companies, you now have local access to this technology, technical support and stock on the ground.

Why Choose Aspen Aerogels?

Aspen Aerogels products are engineered for demanding environments where performance, safety and reliability are critical.

Key advantages:

• High thermal performance with reduced insulation thickness

• Lower heat loss for improved energy efficiency

• Hydrophobic and breathable structure that helps reduce corrosion under insulation (CUI)

• Lightweight and flexible for fast, easy installation

• Long service life in harsh outdoor and industrial conditions

IPC Industries and Aerothane Applications work directly with Aspen’s technical team to support product design, specification, supply and installation.

Product Range

Pyrogel

High performance aerogel insulation for hot service applications

Pyrogel delivers exceptional thermal efficiency for high temperature systems. Its thin profile, hydrophobic structure and durability make it ideal for steam lines, power plants, smelters and other hot process environments.

Cryogel

Aerogel insulation for cold and sub ambient applications

Cryogel offers extremely low thermal conductivity and advanced moisture control for refrigeration, chilled water, brine lines and cryogenic systems. It performs reliably in wet, dusty and harsh conditions with reduced insulation thickness.

Mining and Heavy Industry Applications

Aspen Aerogels products deliver significant value in mining and heavy industrial environments across Southern Africa.

Typical applications:

• Steam and condensate distribution

• Smelter lines and off gas systems

• Sulfuric acid plant piping

• Long distance pipelines

• Underground and surface refrigeration systems

• Firewater lines requiring freeze protection

Operational benefits:

• Lower energy loss in high cost electricity regions

• Consistent performance in harsh outdoor conditions

• Reduced CUI risk due to hydrophobic, breathable insulation

• Lightweight design ideal for remote operations with transport constraints

IPC Industries assists customers in identifying failing insulation areas, CUI hotspots and opportunities where aerogel insulation offers a clear improvement over traditional systems.
