Aerogel, explained simply.

Aerogel is a very light material with tiny air pockets that slow the movement of heat. It helps keep things warmer or cooler for longer and can be added to other materials to improve insulation.

Our range includes water-repellent silica aerogel granules, an aerogel-and-binder dry mix, and water-absorbing aerogel powder without binder. The right choice depends on how you want to use it. Explore our product range.

Our aerogel-and-binder dry mix is designed for the customer to add water. The other grades behave differently, so ask us which product and preparation method suit your application. Follow the mixing guidance for the specific grade.

Potential uses include building materials, clothing, transport, industrial equipment and temperature-controlled containers. The starting point is a product or space that needs to keep heat in or out. Explore applications.

Aerogel can be part of a suitable plaster, render or coating mixture. The mixture and application method need to suit the surface and the equipment being used. Tell us what you want to cover and we can discuss an approach.

No. Aerogel itself does not expand. If it is added to a foam or another material, the behaviour of that mixture depends on the other ingredients and the process.

That depends on your temperature goals, available space, the amount of aerogel in the mixture and the other materials involved. Share these details with our team so we can discuss a suitable approach.

No. Our hydrophobic grades repel water, while our hydrophilic grade absorbs it. Selecting the right grade matters when developing your product.

Visit Technical Information for an overview of the range. For product-specific datasheets, safety documents or mixing guidance, send an enquiry with the grade and intended use. Assess the finished product as a whole, rather than relying on powder figures alone.

Yes. Tell us what you want to make, how you plan to use the sample and where it would be sent. Our team can discuss the appropriate grade, quantity and delivery arrangements.

Use our Distribution & Bulk Supply page to tell us the product, quantity, delivery location and timing you have in mind. We can discuss a quote based on your requirements.

A short description of what you are making and what needs to stay warm or cool is a good start. Include the materials involved, likely quantity, location and timing if you know them. You do not need a complete technical brief to contact us.
