Fire protection just got smarter

Used by NASA to bring home a piece of a comet because it’s strong enough to stop a bullet in its track, aerogel offers an uncanny array of physical properties - thermal, acoustical – and so holds incredible potential for insulation uses. As the name suggests, aerogel is a solid derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with air making it dry and porous. In fact, over 90 percent of the volume is empty space making aerogel the world’s lightest solid material. It’s also 1,000 times less dense than glass, making it the world’s lowest density solid material.Armacell for its part is utilising aerogel technology to produce its ArmaGel blanket product range.
