Aerogel Granules
Known as frozen smoke, solid smoke, solid air or blue smoke, aerogel is the best thermal insulator and the lightest solid of any present-known substance in that over 90% of its volume is constituted of air in extremely tiny nano-pores and the rest is composed of clusters intertwined with three-dimensional, small silica solids.
Properties of aerogel granules
·Unsurpassed Insulation Performance
·Excellent Light Diffusion
·Excellent Physical Stability
·High Porosity and Specific Surface Area
·Extremely Low Density and Nanopore
Applications
Aerogel granules are suitable for a wide range of applications where super insulation is required and there are suitable size and weight constraints.
In particular, these granules are ideal for insulating double glazing and skylights due to their excellent light diffusing properties.
