Looking for a unique, lightweight insulation solution? One that repels water, retains properties under compression, and won't interfere with, but can actually enhance design options and aesthetics in a variety of industries? Look no further than Cabot aerogel. Check out our newest product lines, LumiraTM aerogel and EnovaTM aerogel, here!
Although silica aerogel was first invented 75 years ago, Cabot has been producing its 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 aerogel can be manufactured in a safe and continuous manner.
