Alkegen introduces a new portfolio of ultra-low-dust aerogel insulating technology materials engineered for industrial environments. These fiber-enhanced aerogels offer advantages in their improved product handleability, fire resistance and acoustical performance.
Compared to traditional aerogel blankets, Alkegen’s aerogel technology has 80% less dust and can be installed up to 20% faster. AlkeGel offers excellent handleability; it is easy to cut, lightweight, and gets the job done without the expensive PPE that traditional aerogels require.

AlkeGel Ember is part of our industrial portfolio of ultra-lightweight aerogel insulating materials specifically designed for moderate-high temperature applications. These fiber-enhanced aerogels offer advantages in their improved product handleability, fire resistance and acoustical performance. AlkeGel Ember is engineered for high temperature service and to minimize the impact of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) on piping and large process vessels, reducing maintenance budgets and the risk of catastrophic failure.
AlkeGel Fyre is a fiber-enhanced aerogel blanket that provides excellent passive fire protection and thermal insulation for high temperature industrial applications. AlkeGel Fyre meets rigorous Jet Fire testing and ASTM fire resistance requirements. It protects industrial piping from CUF (corrosion under fireproofing), and easily installs with low dust performance.
AlkeGel Fyre meets the European regulatory requirement 1272/2008 (formerly European Commission Directive 97/69/EC) and does not require any special health hazard labeling.
AlkeGel Glacier has been developed primarily for the LNG industry and is engineered to minimize heat transfer and liquid boil-off in cryogenic applications. Specified for use on small and large bore pipe, as well as large process vessels, AlkeGel Glacier has a zero-permeability integral vapor barrier that meets LNG requirements. Compared to traditional aerogel blankets Alkegen’s aerogel technology has 80% less dust and can be installed up to 20% faster. AlkeGel Glacier helps improve energy efficiency, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. It also protects assets from fire, ice, mechanical damage, and corrosion under insulation (CUI).
