Aerogel in Chennai — Aerogel for Petrochem, LNG, Power and the Auto Corridor
Buying aerogel in Chennai? Chennai runs the full temperature range — cryogenic LNG at Ennore, high-temperature steam in the Manali petrochemical belt and power plants, and hundreds of ovens and dryers in the Sriperumbudur–Oragadam auto corridor. 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 Chennai: where it is used
Aerogel in Chennai covers both ends of the scale. For cold and cryogenic service at the Ennore port and LNG installations, WedGel 200 and 125A grades keep lines and tanks cold in far less thickness than foam systems. For hot service, refinery, petrochemical and fertiliser units in Manali and Ennore, and the thermal power plants on the northern coast, use WedGel 400°C and 650°C blankets on steam lines, turbines and flanges.
South and west of the city, auto, component and electronics plants in Sriperumbudur, Oragadam and Ambattur use aerogel on paint-shop ovens and dryers, and on EV battery packs as the corridor shifts to electric.

Choosing the right aerogel grade for Chennai jobs
- WedGel WAG400 — steam, hot water and thermic-fluid lines, ovens and dryers to 400°C.
- WedGel WAG650 — high-pressure steam, turbines, exhausts and furnace casings to 650°C.
- WedGel ECO — budget 650°C grade where thickness is less critical.
- WedGel 200 and WedGel 125LD — chilled water, cold chain, ducts and cryogenic service.
- WedGel WJ-Paste and WJ400 coating — flanges, valves and irregular surfaces.
- WedGel WAG 650EV and Fire Barrier AGF — EV battery and BESS thermal-runaway barriers.

Supply and delivery of aerogel in Chennai
Aerogel for Chennai is dispatched from Wedge Industries Limited’s Faridabad stock by surface freight or courier. Standard WedGel grades leave the works within 24–48 hours; project orders are scheduled in 10–15 days, and full project quantities can ship direct to site. Freight to Chennai is quoted with the order.
Chennai’s coastal humidity is another reason to specify aerogel: WedGel is hydrophobic and keeps its insulation value in salt-laden, damp air better than absorbent materials.
Areas served: Manali, Ennore, Ambattur, Guindy, Sriperumbudur, Oragadam, Gummidipoondi, Irungattukottai, Maraimalai Nagar, Tiruvallur.

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.
Do you supply cryogenic aerogel in Chennai?
Yes. WedGel 200 (−200 to +200°C), WedGel 200HP for LNG terminals and WedGel 125A silica-cloth faced blanket are supplied for cryogenic and chilled service, including lines and tanks at port and LNG installations.
Is aerogel suitable for auto plants in Sriperumbudur and Oragadam?
Yes. WedGel WAG400 is used on paint-shop ovens, dryers and curing tunnels where machine guards leave little room, and the EV range (thin aerogel paper, 650EV pads, Fire Barrier AGF) is used in battery packs.
