Promising Invention in the Insulation Industry by Nanotechnology : Aerogel

Innovative insulation products produced with nanotechnology give signs of how much the industry will develop in the future. Image Credit : http://graphenewholesale.com/graphene-aerogel/ Aerogel, first developed in 1931, consists of more than 90% air. Thus, aerogel becomes a highly effective insulating material from any solid material with low thermal conductivity. Developed by Aspen Aerogels and 2 to 8 times more effective than conventional insulation products, AeroGel offers the most suitable options for use in different applications by transforming it into an extremely strong, durable, thin and flexible insulating material. Advantages of Aerogel insulation products: Lowest heat transmittance compared to any industrial insulation product 2 to 8 times more insulation performance than traditional methods Same or better insulation performance with lower weight and less volume Significant savings in operations and in cost EXAMPLES OF AEROGEL APPLICATIONS LNG Vessels, Stora...
