Custom Hydrophobic Aerogel Powder for Pipeline & Plant Insulation

The Day a Qingdao Refinery Saved $47k a Year with 8 mm of Coating

I was standing on a 48-inch hot-oil line in Qingdao last July – surface temperature 182 °C, ambient 36 °C with 90 % humidity. The original rockwool jacket was soaked, rusted C-steel underneath, and the energy bill was bleeding money.

We stripped a 10-meter test section, mixed our 20 μm hydrophobic aerogel powder (15 % by weight) into a two-component epoxy, and sprayed an 8 mm layer. Seven days of curing later we fired up the infrared camera again:

  • Old insulation → surface 108 °C (70 °C loss)

  • New aerogel coating → surface 46 °C (only 10 °C loss)

Calculated annual saving on that single line: 47 000 USD. Payback time? Under 9 months.

That’s what 0.015 W/m·K, zero water uptake and Class A1 fire rating can do in real life. No more CUI (corrosion under insulation), no more frequent jacket replacement, no more safety nightmares.

We keep three standard grades in stock and can tweak particle size, density and hydrophobicity in 7–10 days for your specific service temperature and corrosion environment – whether it’s LNG at −162 °C or steam tracing at 350 °C.

Want to run the numbers on your own lines? Send me a photo of your worst-performing pipe or vessel (WhatsApp +86 139 3392 9092) and I’ll shoot back a free heat-loss calculation + sample coating kit the same week.

Hebei Woqin has been doing this since 2012. We don’t just sell powder – we sell lower OPEX and longer asset life.

Let’s talk numbers.

Aerogel Blanket

Hebei Woqin is a leading Silica Aerogel Blanket Manufacturer with 12 years of export experience. We provide ultra-thin, flexible insulation with a certified thermal conductivity of 0.02 W/m.K. Our hydrophobic blankets withstand up to 650°C and effectively prevent Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in demanding industrial environments.

Aerogel Particles

Hebei Woqin offers high-quality silica aerogel particles with superior hydrophobicity. These 1-5mm particles feature a high surface area and extreme thermal resistance, making them the ideal functional filler for advanced insulation materials and industrial additives.

Aerogel Powder

Hebei Woqin’s silica aerogel powder is a high-purity, ultra-fine functional filler (15-50μm). With excellent hydrophobicity and low density, it is specifically designed to enhance the thermal performance of coatings, plastics, and composite industrial materials.

Aerogel Thermal Insulation Coating

Hebei Woqin offers Aerogel Coating with 0.032 W/m.K thermal conductivity. Ideal for seamless application on complex valves and flanges, it ensures superior anti-scalding protection and personnel safety. This durable solution effectively prevents Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in harsh industrial environments.

Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP)

Hebei Woqin is a premier VIP manufacturer with a certified 0.002 W/m.K thermal conductivity. Our Vacuum Insulation Panels offer 10x the performance of traditional materials in an ultra-thin profile. Ideal for cold chain logistics, medical freezers, and high-end construction where space-saving and thermal efficiency are critical.

Aero-Plaster | 22mm Thermal Laminate Board

The ultimate space-saving solution for internal wall insulation (IWI). Featuring our Patent Pending integration technology, it bonds high-performance Aerogel to plasterboard. Ranging from ultra-thin 15mm up to 32mm, it offers an A1 Fire Rated core, ready for paint. Ideal for solid wall retrofits where space is critical.

Aero-Mag | Ultra-Slim Aerogel MgO Composite Board (Starting from 8mm)

The ultimate ultra-slim structural insulation board. By bonding a high-impact, water-resistant Magnesium Oxide (MgO) facing to our high-performance Silica Aerogel core, Aero-Mag delivers unparalleled thermal resistance in minimal space. Starting at a groundbreaking 8mm total thickness, it is ideal for high-traffic floors, wet rooms, and basement re

Aero-Stone | Flexible Stone Thermal Laminate (Dual-Patented System)

A dual-patented cladding system merging natural stone aesthetics with aerogel's thermal efficiency. Starting at 6mm and ~6kg/m², this Class A fireproof, weather-resistant solution is engineered for complex facades and curved columns, completely eliminating the need for heavy steel sub-frames.
