aerogel is the ultimate thermally insulative coatings additive. With a thermal conductivity half that of
still air, and a particle size that can deliver a smooth, even coat, aerogel is ideal for a variety of thin
film insulative coatings applications, enabling coatings that provide functional advantages including:
Ultra low thermal conductivity
• Extreme resistance to shear
• Safe touch performance
Complete hydrophobicity
• Smooth, even finish
Particle size range 2-40µm
Pore diameter ~20nm
Particle density 120-140kg/m3
7.5-9.0lb/ft3
1-1.2lb/gal (US)
Surface chemistry Fully hydrophobic
Thermal conductivity 0.012W/m•K at 25°C
0.083Btu•in/hr•ft2•°F at 77°F
Surface area 600 - 800m2/g
