The invention discloses a hydrophobic thermal insulation paper, comprising: a base material layer; silicon dioxide nanoporous airgel is attached to the base material layer, the base material layer adopts inorganic fiber paper, and the The silicon nanoporous airgel has a specific surface of 400g/m2-800g/m2, a density of 0.015g/cm3-0.20g/cm3, a porosity of 80%-95%, and a pore size of 30nm-100nm. In the present invention, silica airgel with a nano-network pore structure is compounded on inorganic fiber paper to form thermal insulation paper, which not only retains the original characteristics of high temperature resistance and non-combustibility, but also greatly reduces the overall thermal conductivity, significantly Improved thermal insulation properties. In addition, silica airgel has good hydrophobic properties, thus further expanding the advantages of the material, and greatly improving its application value and application range. The product of the invention has the advantages of high temperature resistance, no burning in case of fire, good hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity, etc., and excellent thermal insulation effect.
