In the context of the continuous rise in global energy demand and the increasing concern for energy conservation and emission reduction, thermal insulation materials have become an indispensable key component in many fields such as construction, industry, aerospace and so on. Aerogel powder, with its series of outstanding properties, has become a star material in the field of thermal insulation and insulation, providing a highly innovative solution to effectively solve the problem of heat transfer. Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., LTD., as an industry leader focusing on the research and development and sales of special paper materials and Aerogel thermal insulation materials, has made outstanding achievements in deeply exploring the application potential of AEROGEL powder.

1. Excellent heat insulation: low conductivity, efficient heat resistance
1.1 Heat insulation principle and performance data
The key to the excellent thermal insulation performance of Aerogel powder is its extremely low thermal conductivity, usually between 0.013W/ (m · K) and 0.018W/ (m · K), which is even lower than the thermal conductivity of static air at room temperature. Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., Ltd. makes full use of its unique nanoporous structure, which fundamentally hinders the transfer of heat. At the micro level, these nanoscale pores are interconnected to create an intricate three-dimensional network structure. When the gas molecules try to move in it, they are greatly restricted, which significantly reduces the occurrence of convective heat transfer. At the same time, the pore wall has a strong scattering effect on the heat radiation, so that the heat transfer of heat radiation is greatly reduced. In the actual industrial pipeline insulation project, Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., Ltd. uses Aerogel powder made of thermal insulation materials, compared with traditional rock wool, glass wool and other materials, can reduce the heat loss of the pipeline by 30%-50%. This remarkable energy-saving effect not only greatly improves the efficiency of energy utilization, but also effectively helps enterprises reduce energy consumption costs. For example, the steam transmission pipeline of a large chemical enterprise, after using the Aerogel powder insulation material of Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., LTD., the annual saving of steam is equivalent to reducing the consumption of hundreds of tons of coal, and the economic and environmental benefits are significant.

In addition, the use of lightweight insulation materials also reduces the difficulty and cost of building construction, shortens the construction period, and improves the economic benefits of construction projects.

 

3. Stable chemistry: long-term durability, reduce costs
3.1 Principle of chemical stability
In thermal insulation applications, materials need to maintain stable performance over a long period of time under a variety of complex and changeable environmental conditions. The main components of Aerogel powder are inorganic materials, such as silica, which give it excellent chemical stability and make it difficult to react with other substances. The Aerogel powder insulation material produced by Zhejiang Runhui New Material Co., Ltd. can always maintain its structure and performance stability, whether in the harsh industrial environment of high temperature and high humidity, or in the special scene where chemical substances such as acid and alkali exist. This is because the chemical structure of silicon dioxide is very stable, and the chemical bonds within it can effectively resist the erosion of common chemicals, and can maintain its chemical properties in a variety of chemical environments.

 

3.2 Practical Application Cases
In the thermal insulation project of high temperature reaction equipment in chemical enterprises, the Aerogel powder thermal insulation material of Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., Ltd. has shown excellent performance. The high-temperature reactor of a large chemical enterprise is in a high-temperature and highly corrosive chemical environment for a long time, and the traditional thermal insulation materials will soon fail in this environment, requiring frequent replacement, which not only increases the cost of equipment maintenance, but also affects the continuity of production. After using the Aerogel powder insulation material of Zhejiang Runhui New Material Co., LTD., it successfully resisted the erosion of corrosive chemicals and effectively played the role of heat insulation for a long time. According to actual statistics, after using the company's insulation materials, equipment maintenance costs have been reduced by 30% per year, and production efficiency has also been significantly improved. This not only saves a lot of money for the enterprise, but also improves the production efficiency and market competitiveness of the enterprise.

 

4. Super waterproof: resist moisture and extend life
4.1 Waterproof performance and principle
The presence of water often has a serious negative impact on the performance of thermal insulation materials, because water has a high thermal conductivity, which accelerates the transfer of heat. Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., LTD., through special surface treatment technology, the Aerogel powder is modified, so that it has a high degree of hydrophobicity, hydrophobicity can reach more than 99%. The core of this technology is the introduction of special organic groups on the surface of the Aerogel powder, which can form a strong repulsive effect with water molecules, thus giving the surface of the material a hydrophobic effect like a lotus leaf. This allows Aerogel powder insulation to maintain good thermal insulation even in humid environments.

 

4.2 Different Scenarios
In the building external wall insulation, even if it encounters a long time of rainfall or high humidity environment, Zhejiang Runhui New Materials Co., Ltd. Aerogel powder insulation materials will not reduce the insulation effect due to water absorption.

In cold chain transportation, its water resistance also plays an important role. During cold chain transportation, the goods need to maintain a suitable temperature range in a low temperature and humid environment to ensure the quality and safety of the goods. After a cold chain logistics enterprise uses the thermal insulation material of Zhejiang Runhui New Material Co., LTD., the cargo loss rate is reduced by 20%, and the economic benefit is significantly improved. This is because the waterproof properties of the material can effectively prevent moisture from entering the insulation layer, maintain the stability of the insulation effect, and ensure that the goods are always in a good storage environment.
