Cryogenic perlite is a specialized insulating material used in extreme low-temperature systems where maximum thermal efficiency and reliable equipment protection are essential. Thanks to its light, porous structure, expanded perlite offers excellent thermal insulation and is widely used in the cryogenic industry worldwide.
Cryogenic perlite is a specialized insulating material used in extreme low-temperature systems where maximum thermal efficiency and reliable equipment protection are essential. Thanks to its light, porous structure, expanded perlite offers excellent thermal insulation and is widely used in the cryogenic industry worldwide.
It is most commonly used in liquefied gas tanks, reservoirs, pipelines, and other equipment operating at extremely low temperatures. By filling insulating cavities, perlite reduces heat transfer, lowers energy losses, and ensures stable long-term system operation.
Thanks to its non-combustibility, chemical neutrality, and longevity, perlite is a trusted choice in energy, gas, chemical, and other industries where high safety and efficiency standards apply. It retains its properties under demanding operating conditions and requires no additional maintenance.
Our cryogenic perlite is supplied according to individual project requirements. We take into account technical specifications, operating conditions, and customer needs to offer the optimal solution for every project.
Every cryogenic project has specific technical requirements, so product parameters and supply arrangements are agreed individually. Our team helps select the most suitable perlite solution based on project needs, operating conditions, and technical specifications.
At temperatures below −100 °C, expanded perlite fills the vacuum space of double-walled tanks to keep liquefied gases cold. Non-combustible, stable and low-cost — the most common uses:
Fills the annular space of double-walled LNG tanks, keeping natural gas liquid at −160 °C.
Insulates LOX and LIN storage vessels in industry, medicine and food.
Super-cold gases are stored in perlite-filled double-walled vessels.
Insulates the cold boxes of air separation units that produce industrial gases.
LNG carriers and transport tankers use perlite insulation for safe cold storage.
Perlite concrete blocks form the insulating base ring beam under cryogenic tanks.
Evacuated "super" perlite gives very low thermal conductivity for the coldest service.
Insulates transfer lines and piping that carry liquefied gases.
LNG terminals, storage depots and industrial gas plants.
