Airloy® X56 Strong Transparent Aerogel Discs

$120.00

Airloy® X50 series materials from Aerogel Technologies are mechanically robust aerogels that offer the look and transparency of classic aerogel without the fragility. Airloy X56 is semi-transparent and superinsulating without the fragility of classic silica aerogels. Around five times lighter than plastics. Use for applications such as fenestration, process visualization, and lightweight structures. Dust-free. Easy to machine and adhere. Thermal conductivity between classic silica aerogels and Styrofoam®. Maximum operating temperature is ~80°C. Size is approximately 2″ diameter x 0.2″ thick (5 cm x 0.5 cm).
