Aerogel's high porosity and hydrophobic nature make it ideally suited for a variety of applications - but we are just beginning to scratch the surface of its potential. 

For example, in addition to the already well-established uses in industries including oil & gas, daylighting, and coatings, aerogel can be used in a wide-range of adhesive and sealant applications, such as highly filled, high viscous thixotropic formulations, and provide the following benefits:

• • Stronger adhesion and less sag
  • Higher transparency
  • Lower concentration required than traditional silicas
  • Faster recovery time
  • Better viscosity stability
  • Decreased rest tack after curing
  • Increased shore hardness
  • Less bleeding
  • Smooth surface appearance

 

Cabot's aerogel is also valued for providing the highest level of thermal insulation without adding weight. Its sound dampening, shock absorbent and hydrophobic nature also make it the ideal solution for the insulation of:

• Household Appliances and Cookware 
• Automotive 
• Packaging
• Sports Equipment
• Electronic Wiring and Cabling
