Category: Insulation - Heat/Frost
Description:
Flexible aerogel blanket insulation engineered to deliver maximum thermal protection with minimal weight and thickness
Typical Use:
Sub-ambient including refrigerated appliances, cold storage and aerospace
Apparent use of Nanotechnology: nanopores
Reason for Inclusion:
"The silica solids, which are poor conductors, consist of very small, three-dimensional, intertwined clusters that comprise only 3% of the volume. Conduction through the solid is therefore very low. The remaining 97% of the volume is composed of air in extremely small nanopores." -Retrieved 10/14/2020 from www.aerogel.com/resources/about-aerogel/
