What is Aerogel Powder?Aerogel, also known as wet gel or hydrogel, is a porous material that can be made by replacing the liquid within the gel with air. KNFW silica Aerogel Powder is a low density aerogel with a low thermal conductivity. It has a high specific surface and high adsorption. High surface activity and purity. Widely used for building insulation, polymer material, aerospace, industrial insulation.

Characteristics and uses of aerogel powder
Aerogel's ultra-lightweight, translucent color is often referred to as "solid smoke" and "frozen smoke". This material may look fragile, but is durable and strong. It can even withstand high temperatures of up to 1,400°F. These aerogel characteristics have many uses in space exploration. Aerogels are used in the Russian "Peace", and American "Mars Pathfinder", satellites. Guinness World Records listed a NASA-developed aerogel that has a density of just 3 mg per cubic cm as the "lowest solid density in the world".

Aerogel powder: preparation method
In most cases, the preparation of aerogels involves a sol gel process and a supercritical drying procedure. By controlling the conditions for the polycondensation and hydrolysis reactions, sol-gel produces nanoclusters of different structure in the solution. These clusters then adhere to one another to form a solid gel. In contrast, liquid reagents are used to fill the solid skeleton. Supercritical drying is used on gel to avoid damage to its material structure due to surface tension. The gel is put in a pressure vessel, which increases temperature and pressure to transform the gel's liquid into a supercritical liquid. Surface tension is no longer present, as the interface between gas and liquid disappears. The pressure vessel then releases the supercritical fluid, producing a low-density, porous and disordered material.

Prices of aerogel powder
Aergel powder's price is affected by its particle size, purity, and purchase volume. The price of a large quantity will be lower. On our official website, you can find the price of Aerogel Powder.
