Aerogel Thermal Performance – With the Flexibility of a Blanket

• Start with a non-woven blanket

– Typically polyester, glass,

carbon, or ceramic fiber

• Fill that blanket with a wet gel

• Dry the blanket via

supercritical CO2 extraction

• Roll the blanket onto a spool

Step 1:

Fill fibrous

batting with a

liquid-solid

solution

Step 2:

Extract solvents

with supercritical

carbon dioxide

Step 3:

Resulting dry,

fiber-reinforced

aerogel blanket

Ageing in the B&C Environment

Spaceloft’s thermal insulation is derived from its nanoporous structure.

The performance is passive.

There are no blowing agent or vacuum requirements to deliver this performance.

This offers a constant design performance independent of time or within the realms

of the B&C domain temperature or humidity.

Fire Performance

Spaceloft* has received a E rating in the Euroclass fire test.

The rating is determined by the reinforcement fibre

(we rate A1 with PG 6681 (silica fibre) , B with PG 6350 (Carbon fibre)

Breathability & Hydrophobicity

An interesting combination.

Spaceloft’s unique chemistry offers both a hydrophobic performance

and in the same material an ability to breathe.

This allows for the design of both venting concepts and also installation where

water would be a problem to traditional insulation materials

EE & ECO2 Comparison

• EE of aerogel is higher than others on a mass basis, but our thermal performance is

superior, such that the energy return/payback is greater.

• Typical CO2 payback time is 2 – 12 month in domestic refurbishment ,dependant on fuel type and wall construction
