Description

Introducing the next generation of aerogel blanket technology. This insulation blanket is both flexible and bendable, environmentally safe, has superior thermal performance and is designed for safety.

Used by NASA to bring home a piece of a comet because it’s strong enough to stop a bullet in its track, aerogel offers an uncanny array of physical properties – thermal, acoustical – and so holds incredible potential for insulation uses. As the name suggests, aerogel is a solid derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with air making it dry and porous. In fact, over 90 per cent of the volume is empty space making aerogel the world’s lightest solid material. It’s also 1,000 times less dense than glass, making it the world’s lowest density solid material.
