Armacell, a developer of equipment insulation solutions, has inaugurated a new manufacturing plant in Pune, India, for the production of its ArmaGel XG range of aerogel insulation products. The facility is expected to significantly increase the company’s global aerogel blanket production capacity.
The Pune plant produces two variants of Armacell’s aerogel insulation products. ArmaGel XGH is engineered for high-temperature applications of up to 650 degress Celsius (1200 degrees Farhenheit), while ArmaGel XGC is designed for cryogenic and dual-temperature environments, with an operating range from -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Farhenheit) to 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Farhenheit). Both products are developed in compliance with ASTM C1728 standards—Type III and JIP 33 for XGH, and Types I and IV for XGC.
Both products are developed in compliance with international standards—ASTM C1728 (Type III for XGH and Types I/IV for XGC) and JIP 33 specifications.
