Aerogel SuperInsulation

                     

There are two things the majority of people in the Western world own: a refrigerator and a mobile phone. And aerogels could revolutionise the manufacture of both.

An aerogel is a material that’s full of tiny holes. Made by extracting all the liquid from a gel, it can be up to 95 per cent pores. Those pores are so small – between 20 and 50 nanometres – that gas molecules can’t squeeze through them. As a result, aerogels can’t transport heat, making for a material with incredible insulating properties.

The unusual electrical properties of aerogels also make them suitable as lightweight antennae for mobile phones, satellites and aircraft.

Features:

Insulation performance better

Overall fire, A-level non-combustible

Construction is simple, safe

Excellent acoustic noise reduction

Excellent hydrophobic properties

Excellent tensile strength
