Classic Silica aerogel is just that – the same ethereal blue material NASA has used on the Mars rovers and the Stardust mission! Extremely hard-to-find transparent monolithic form. Great for gifts, science projects, and display. Density is ~0.095 g/cm³, meaning these aerogels are an incredible 96% air by volume!

Cabot Corp.’s Nanogel^® consists of hydrophobic (water-repelling) millimeter-sized granules of silica aerogel produced through subcritical drying. Used in a variety of industrial applications including subsea pipe insulation and daylighting. Use it as an inexpensive way to experience some classic “blue” aerogel or as fill to make your own translucent superinsulating barrier.  Download the United States MSDS or the European Union MSDS.

Aspen Aerogels’ Spaceloft^® is a flexible aerogel composite blanket designed for insulating buildings and apparel. With a thermal conductivity of 14 mW m^-1 K^-1, Spaceloft is approximately two and half times better insulating than Styrofoam^®. Great for home insulation, winter clothing, science projects, and any application where thermal insulation is needed and space is at a premium. Maximum temperature is 390°F/200°C, density is 0.15 g cm^-3 (2.45 oz/69 g per square foot). Download the MSDS here.

The world’s most advanced flexible insulation, Aspen Aerogels’ Pyrogel^® XT is a flexible aerogel composite blanket designed for high-temperature applications (up to 650°C/1200°F), with thermal performance two to eight times greater than other high-temperature insulating materials. Great for blowtorch experiments! Download the MSDS.
