Nanogel is Cabot Corporation's trade name for its family of silica aerogels. Although aerogel was first invented 75 years ago, Cabot has been producing Nanogel aerogel since 2003 at its state-of-the-art plant in Frankfurt, Germany. Cabot is the only company to develop a commercialized process that allows continuous production of the material under ambient conditions. This process allows control of the material's porosity, pore size and distribution, and bypasses the high-cost traditional method of super-critical drying, so that Nanogel can be manufactured in a safe and continuous manner.

Easily adapted for a wide range of applications, including:

• Architectural daylighting
• Oil and gas pipelines
• Coatings formulations
• Industrial and cryogenic plants and vessels
• Building insulation
• Outdoor gear and apparel
• Personal care products
