What is Aerogel?

Aerogel is a synthetically produced amorphous silica gel impregnated into a non-woven flexible fabric substrate, offering the twin benefits of extreme thermal performance and a flexible blanket form. To meet customer demands, Aspen Aerogels may use a variety of aerogel additives and fabric substrate materials.

Aspen Aerogels products utilize nanoporous structures that minimize the three mechanisms of thermal transport, resulting in thermal conductivity values in the 12 – 15 mW/m-K range.
