Overview
Aerogel 1 cm is the 10 mm thickness of the WedGel 650 silica aerogel insulation blanket — the thickness most often specified for steam lines, hot-oil pipework, vessels and equipment up to 650 °C, and for building and HVAC work where 25–50 mm of conventional insulation will not fit. Nanoporous silica held in a fibre reinforcement gives a thermal conductivity of 0.018 W/m·K at 25 °C (0.068 W/m·K at 600 °C, ASTM C177), so one centimetre of aerogel does the work of roughly 2–2.5 cm of mineral wool.
Wedge Industries Limited sells aerogel 1 cm by the square foot in two grades. WedGel 650 ECO is the commercial-grade plain blanket for general industrial, building and HVAC insulation under cladding. WedGel 650 High Performance is the 650HP grade with a woven silica-cloth facing for abrasion resistance, vibration and exposed or repeatedly handled surfaces such as high-pressure steam lines, turbines and removable jackets. Both are hydrophobic, non-combustible and manufactured in Faridabad.

Applications
- Steam, hot oil and thermic fluid lines — one or two layers of 1 cm aerogel replace 50–75 mm of mineral wool on lines up to 650 °C, keeping pipe racks compact; see high-temperature insulation.
- Vessels, tanks and equipment — reactors, dryers, boilers and exhaust ducts where weight and space are limited; the High Performance grade suits turbines and vibrating equipment.
- Buildings and HVAC — chilled-water pipework, AHU casings, roofs and walls where depth is restricted; see data centre insulation.
- Removable insulation jackets — the silica-cloth-faced grade is the standard core for valve, flange and manway jackets that are opened repeatedly.
- EV, BESS and transport — thermal barriers and enclosure linings; pair with the EV battery thermal and fire protection range.
Installation
- Cut with a sharp knife or shears; wear gloves, long sleeves and a dust mask, as dry aerogel sheds fine dust.
- Wrap pipes and vessels with tightly butted joints; where two layers are used, stagger the joints. Use two layers of 1 cm rather than compressing thicker material into tight radii.
- Secure with stainless-steel bands, wire or high-temperature tape at 300 mm centres, then fit metal, foil or fabric cladding.
- Do not compress the blanket below 80 % of its thickness, as compression raises conductivity.
A written application guide and the grade TDS are supplied with every order.

Frequently asked questions
What is aerogel 1 cm?
Aerogel 1 cm is a 10 mm thick flexible silica aerogel insulation blanket from the WedGel 650 family, sold by the square foot. It has a thermal conductivity of 0.018 W/m.K at 25 C, a continuous service range of minus 50 C to plus 650 C and a density of about 200 kg/m3. One centimetre of aerogel gives roughly the insulation of 2 to 2.5 cm of mineral wool, which is why it is chosen where space, weight or corrosion under insulation matter.
What is the price of 10 mm aerogel blanket per square foot?
Wedge Industries Limited offers aerogel 1 cm in two grades: WedGel 650 ECO, the commercial-grade plain blanket, at INR 128 per square foot (about USD 1.33, or INR 1,378 per m2), and WedGel 650 High Performance, the silica-cloth-faced premium blanket, at INR 385 per square foot (about USD 4.01, or INR 4,144 per m2). Prices are ex-works Faridabad and exclude 18 percent GST. Select the grade on this page to buy online or ask for a project price on larger quantities.
What is the difference between the ECO and High Performance grades?
Both are 10 mm WedGel 650 silica aerogel blankets rated to 650 C with 0.018 W/m.K conductivity. ECO is the commercial-grade plain blanket for general industrial, building and HVAC insulation where the surface is covered by cladding. High Performance is the 650HP grade with a woven silica-cloth facing that resists abrasion, handling and vibration, for high-pressure steam lines, turbines, exposed surfaces and repeated-access removable jackets.
How much is one square foot of aerogel 1 cm in metric units?
One square foot is 0.0929 m2, so 10.76 square feet make one square metre. Order 108 square feet for 10 m2 of coverage. Blankets are supplied in rolls and cut sheets; send the pipe sizes or surface areas and Wedge Industries Limited will convert them into a quantity in square feet with wastage included.
Is 10 mm aerogel blanket fireproof and waterproof?
Silica aerogel is inorganic and non-combustible. WedGel 650 blankets are Class A to ASTM E84 and EN 13501-1 and tested to ISO 1182. They are hydrophobic, with over 99 percent water repellency to GB/T 10299, yet vapour-permeable, so trapped moisture escapes and corrosion under insulation on steel pipework is reduced.
How is 1 cm aerogel blanket installed?
Cut with a sharp knife or shears, wearing gloves and a dust mask. Wrap pipes and vessels with butted joints, staggering the joints between layers where two layers are used, and secure with stainless-steel bands or wire. Fit metal, foil or fabric cladding over the blanket. Do not compress the blanket below 80 percent of its thickness, as compression raises conductivity. An application guide and a technical data sheet are supplied with every order.
