What is aerogel powder?
Gas gel is a light porous solid material obtained by the volume of the water gel (wet gel) inside the gel in the air without changing the volume of the hydrogel (wet gel). KNF-W silicone powder is a kind of gas gel material with low density, low heating rate, high ratio area and high adsorption, which is prepared through atmospheric pressure drying methods. It has high purity and high surface activity, which has been used for construction insulation, industrial insulation, polymer materials, aerospace and daily chemical industry.
Characteristics of aerogel powder
The density of this new material is only 3.55 kg/m3, which is only 2.75 times the air density; The density of dried pine (500 kg/m3) is 140 times that of it. This substance looks like solidified smoke, but its composition is similar to glass. Because of its extremely small density, it is very suitable for aerospace applications. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a new aerogel developed by Dr. Jones, is mainly composed of pure silica. In the production process, the liquid silicon compound is mixed with the liquid solvent, which can evaporate quickly to form a gel. Then the gel is dried in an instrument similar to a pressurized digester, and after heating and depressurization, a porous sponge structure is formed. The proportion of air in the final Aerogel obtained by Dr. Jones accounted for 99.8%.
 
Preparation method of aerogel powder
S. Kistler was originally named Aerogel. Because he successfully prepared silica aerogel by the supercritical drying method, Aerogel is defined as the material obtained by supercritical drying of wet gel, called Aerogel. In the middle and late 1990s, with the emergence and development of atmospheric pressure drying technology, the generally accepted definition of Aerogel in the middle and late 1990s is that no matter what drying method is used, as long as the liquid in the wet gel is replaced by gas and the network structure of the gel is unchanged, the materials thus obtained are called aerogels. The structural feature of Aerogel is a cylindrical multi-branched nano porous three-position network structure with high permeability, high porosity, low density, high specific surface area, and ultra-high pore volume ratio. Its bulk density is adjustable in the 0.003-0.500 g/cm-3. (The density of air is 0.00129 g/cm-3).
 
Price of aerogel powder
Aerogel powder particle size and purity will affect the product's Price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of aerogel powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The Price of aerogel powder can be found on our company's official website.
