Aerogel in Mumbai — Hydrophobic Aerogel for Refineries, Coastal Plants and Buildings
Buying aerogel in Mumbai? Mumbai combines refineries and petrochemical units with a hot, humid, salt-laden coastal climate — the conditions in which wet insulation and corrosion under insulation cost the most. Wedge Industries Limited supplies WedGel silica aerogel blanket with thermal conductivity of 0.018 W/m·K at 25°C, grades from cryogenic to 650°C and thickness from 3 mm to 50 mm — about 10 mm of aerogel does the work of 40–50 mm of mineral wool.

Aerogel in Mumbai: where it is used
Aerogel in Mumbai is chosen above all for its water behaviour. WedGel is hydrophobic, with over 99% water repellency, so it keeps its insulation value through the monsoon and does not hold moisture against the steel the way wet mineral wool or calcium silicate can. That makes it a strong fit for the refinery and petrochemical complexes around Chembur and Mahul, the chemical units along the Thane–Belapur and Taloja MIDC belts, and the port and tank-farm installations at Nhava Sheva and Uran.
In the city itself, aerogel is used in high-rise plant rooms, hotel and hospital services and commercial kitchens, where every millimetre of shaft and ceiling space counts.
- Steam, hot-oil and process lines in refinery and petrochemical units at Chembur and Mahul
- Chemical and pharma process lines in Thane–Belapur, Taloja and Ambernath MIDC
- Tanks, vessels and loading lines at port and tank-farm installations near Nhava Sheva and Uran
- Hot-water, chilled-water and exhaust lines in high-rise plant rooms and hotels
- Personnel-protection wraps on valves and flanges using removable aerogel jackets

Aerogel in Mumbai: frequently asked questions
What is the price of aerogel in Mumbai?
WedGel aerogel blanket costs about ₹1,350–₹3,850 per m² ($14–$40) for project orders of 100 m² and above, ex-works Faridabad and excluding 18% GST and freight. 5 mm ambient grade starts near ₹1,350/m²; 10 mm 650°C grade runs ₹2,950–₹3,850/m². Samples under 20 m² cost 20–30% more. Send the line list for a written Mumbai quotation.
Which aerogel grade should I use?
WedGel WAG400 for service from −50 to +400°C, WedGel WAG650 up to +650°C, WedGel ECO as the budget 650°C grade, and the WedGel 200 / 125 series for chilled and cryogenic lines. Send the operating temperature and Wedge Industries Limited specifies the grade and thickness.
How much thinner is aerogel than mineral wool?
In the same duty, roughly 10 mm of aerogel does the work of 40–50 mm of conventional insulation such as mineral wool or calcium silicate, which is why it is chosen for congested pipe racks, equipment guards and space-limited retrofits.
Does aerogel work in Mumbai’s humid, coastal climate?
Yes — this is where aerogel is strongest. WedGel is hydrophobic (over 99% water repellency), so it keeps its thermal performance when exposed to monsoon humidity and helps reduce the risk of corrosion under insulation. Outdoor lines still need normal cladding.
Can you ship aerogel from Mumbai to the Gulf?
Yes. Wedge Industries Limited exports to 45+ countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. Export orders are quoted in US$ on FOB or CIF terms; send the line list and destination port for a quote.
