There are a lot of uses for silica aerogel, it’s very light. It’s so versatile that people use it in all kinds of ways. Silica aerogel is such a versatile material, from insulating buildings to protecting astronauts in space!
Silica aerogel is a superhero material, because it is capable of doing so many things. For instance, it’s fantastic at insulating structures and keeping them warm. Picture a house that is toasty warm in the dead of winter! PROGMEM=2.09 Think HOUSE (and snow outside) and remember! It’s also worn in spacesuits by astronauts. Out there in space, they need something to shield themselves from the insane temperatures. Enter silica aerogel to the rescue!
For those not familiar with silica aerogel, it's a material derived from gel processes supposedly the lightest solid on earth (though I doubt anybody without billions of dollars in funding is going to produce a monolithic piece of the stuff that weights.5 mg for your scale – little tiny chunks have been grown to be that low).
If you are looking for a bunch of silica aerogel to use on a large-scale project, click no further! You can get a lot of it, so you’ll have plenty to work with. Maybe you are constructing a bunch of homes and hope to ensure they’re all nice and toasty. Or maybe you’re developing a supersecret science experiment taking place that happens to require copious amounts of silica aerogel. Either way, the purchase should be made in volume. And it can save you money in the long run. Right then; now I bet you can’t wait to fill your basket with silica aerogel!
Silica aerogel, such as that provided by Surnano, is among the best for commercial applications for several reasons. One of the biggest benefits to using silica aerogel is its exceptionally low density and is one of the lowest density solid materials. Its all above mentioned features make it suitable for insulation in various industrial applications without increasing weight of machinery and its components. In addition, silica aerogel is porous and has significant surface area so it catches air well and insulates. This makes it a good insulating agent, cutting energy costs and making industrial operations more efficient.
Silica aerogel has many superiorities over the conventional insulation materials. One of the primary advantages is its excellent heat resistance. A substance used as a solid insulator, such as traditional insulating material—fiberglass or foam—or aerogel; silica aerogel is far less thermally conductive than the others. This allows it to offer better insulation, enabling you to keep constant temperatures and save energy. Silica aerogel is also fire/moisture/chemical resistant – perfect for industrial applications where you need long term, effective insulation.
