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).
Download the material SDS here.
For operating temperatures up to 150°C, choose Airloy X116 or hydrophobic Airloy H116, or Airloy HR Sheet for temperatures up to 300°C.
Airloy X56 reference properties are listed below:
| Density Class | Density | Compressive Yield Strengtha | Compressive Modulusa | Ultimate Strengtha | Thermal Conductivitya | Transparancy Rating (0-9)b |
| MH | 0.3 ± 0.05 g/cc | 0.65 MPa | 20 MPa | 170 MPa | 23 mW/m-K | 7 |
aApproximate values. For reference only.
bTransparency graded on 0-9 scale, 9 being most transparent. Number is determined using black text on gray background with background color value increasing linearly from 0-255 (see image above).
Additional densities and sizes coming soon and available by request.
