Performance of Systems Incorporating Cryogel Z
The performance of Cryogel Z in cold acoustic service and passive fire protection systems has been evaluated according to the test methods described below. Performance levels achieved in these systems are configuration dependent. Contact Aspen Aerogels technical service for configuration and other details.
• UL 1709 – Rapid Rise Fire Test: Up to 150 min of protection
• OTI-95-634 – Jet Fire Protection: Up to 120 min of protection
• ISO 15665 – Acoustic Insulation for Pipes, Valves, and Flanges: Configurations meeting Class A2, B2, C2, and Shell D2 possible
• IMO Part 2 and 5: Effective July 2019, use only Cryogel Z (IMO grade) for applications requiring compliance with IMO Part 2 and 5. Standard grade Cryogel Z is only appropriate for applications that do not require compliance with IMO Part 2 and 5. Contact Aspen technical service for additional information.
