Aerogel blankets, flexible insulation materials with features like heat insulation, are widely used in multiple fields:

Industry: Applied to pipelines and tanks in petrochemical, steam pipelines and furnaces in power, and heating furnaces in metallurgy. They cut heat loss, prevent corrosion, ensure fire - proof and insulation, boost efficiency, and save energy.

Construction: Used for wall insulation to enhance warmth and soundproofing, roof heat insulation to block heat and protect waterproof layers, and door/window insulation to reduce heat transfer and improve energy - saving.

Transportation: In automotive manufacturing, they insulate and reduce noise in engine compartments and insulate bodies and chassis for better efficiency. In aerospace, they're used in aircraft wings and fuselage structures. 

Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are high - performance insulators with broad applications:

Construction: Used for external wall, roof and floor insulation. They cut heat transfer, keep indoor temps stable, and reduce heating/cooling energy use, improving building energy - efficiency.

Refrigeration & Cold Chain: Applied in fridges, freezers, cold storage, and cold - chain transport. VIPs maintain low temps, lower compressor run times, and ensure the quality of stored and transported goods like food and meds.

Electrical & Electronics: Employed in power transformers for insulation and heat dissipation, and in some household appliances to cut heat loss and boost energy efficiency.

Others: Utilized in aerospace for thermal control of spacecraft and aircraft, and in medical equipment such as cryogenic storage and incubators to maintain proper temps.
