The Founder of Aerogel & its First Usage  Aerogel is a nanoporous material first synthesized by Steven Kistler in1931.  The first jacket with an aerogel padding was created in 1999.

Aerogel - Universal solution  aerogel is often called a "frozen smoke“;  it consists of lightweight silica solids derived from a gel;  liquid phase is completely replaced by gas;  conduction through the solid is therefore very low;  the world’s lowest density solid;  aerogel consists of 99.8% of air;  Aarogel can be used at temperatures ranging from - 200°C to + 650°C;

Properties of Aerogel  low thermal conductivity ;  hardness ;  heat resistance;  transparency;  elasticity;  insulation;  durability;  flexibility ;

Types of Aerogel Aerogel comes in in 3 versions:  Cryogel™ - for low-temperature applications (-200°C - 90°C);  Spaceloft® - for mid-temperature applications (-200°C – 200°C);  Pyrogel® - for high-temperature applications ( up to 650°C);

Cryogel is the lowest cryogenic insulation material in the world.  reduced thickness;  outstanding durability;  constant performance over time;  simplicity of usage;  high performing design;

Cryogel Fields of Applications:  sub-ambient piping and equipment;  cryogenic storage ;  sea transport;  industrial gases;  liquefied natural gas (LNG) import/export pipelines;  chilled water systems;  Gloves, jackets, sleeping bags, boots;

SPACELOFT SPACELOFT It is an insulation product designed for mid-temperature range applications. It is an insulation product designed for mid-temperature range applications. Spaceloft reduces energy loss and conserves interior space in residential and commercial building applications. Spaceloft reduces energy loss and conserves interior space in residential and commercial building applications.

SPACELOFT SPACELOFT Properties of material:   compression resistance;   hydrophobicity;   breathability;   acoustical properties;   transmission loss dampening; Fields of Applications building and construction; heating, water and conditioning systems; household appliances;

The highest R-value of any insulation material for maximum energy efficiency in walls, floors, roofs, framing, and windows.

PYROGEL Can withstand temperatures up 650C. Can withstand temperatures up 650C. Fields of applications: Fields of applications:  industrial and petrochemical equipment;  power generation equipment;  fire protection equipment;  Aerospace and aeronautic transportation;
