Classic Silica™ aerogel monoliths from Aerogel Technologies are the world’s most popular monolithic aerogel material. We manufacture Classic Silica in a variety of shapes, sizes, and densities, including:

• Discs, blocks, cylinders, and tiles
• Densities ranging from 0.04 g/cc to 0.2 g/cc
• Hydrophilic (water-absorbing) and hydrophobic (water-repelling, see below) formulations

Classic Silica offers advantages for numerous scientific and engineering applications, including:

• Chemisorption
• Chromatography
• Diffusion control media
• Time-release substrates
• Battery media
• Low-profile thermal and acoustic insulation
• Particle detection (e.g., Cherenkov detectors)
• High-temperature thermal insulation
• Optics
• Materials with engineered electromagnetic properties
• Demonstrations, education, and curiosity

Monolithic hydrophobic silica aerogels from Aerogel Technologies are specially formulated to repel polar liquids and sorb non-polar liquids, making them ideal for applications where exposure to moisture, humidity, liquid water or other polar solvents prohibit the use of Classic Silica™ aerogels.  Example applications include:

• Chemical spill cleanup
• Chemisorption
• Chromatography
• Diffusion control media
• Time-release substrates
• Oil recovery
• Low-profile thermal and acoustic insulation
• High-temperature thermal insulation
• Microwave and RF induction heating processes

Aerogel Technologies produces hydrophobic silica aerogels in the same shapes, sizes, and density ranges as our Classic Silica aerogels and can prepare custom hydrophobic silica aerogel parts upon request.

Carbon aerogels are high-surface-area, electrically conductive porous substrates with tremendous utility in energy storage, catalysis, and carbon materials synthesis applications. Monolithic resorcinol-formaldehyde polymer (RF) aerogels from Aerogel Technologies are a convenient starting point for preparing engineered high-surface-area carbon architectures of your own.  Applications of RF-derived carbon aerogel materials include:

• Supercapacitor and ultracapacitor electrodes
• Battery electrodes
• Carbon-supported heterogeneous catalysts
• Carbon nanotube growth catalysts
• Desalination electrodes
• High-temperature insulating materials

RF aerogels from Aerogel Technologies are easily converted into carbon aerogels by heat treating under inert atmosphere (pyrolysis) and can be loaded with active materials through facile solution-based and vapor infiltration techniques.

In addition to carbon aerogel preparation, unprocessed RF aerogels are excellent thermal insulators, low-density, and more compliant than comparable density Classic Silica™ aerogels.

In addition to RF polymer aerogel precursors, Aerogel Technologies manufactures pyrolyzed carbon aerogels for direct use in engineering applications.

Optically active aerogels from Aerogel Technologies are colored aerogels. Available in several colors and shapes, applications include:

• Visual arts
• Optics
• Volumetric projection of images
• Sensors
• Process visualization
• Novelty and education
• Gifts

Optically active aerogels from Aerogel Technologies are the world’s only commercially available colored aerogels.

Large Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Tiles from Tiem Factory Inc. are the largest commercially available hydrophobic silica aerogel monoliths. These tiles are large enough for use as transparent insulation for process visualization windows and other applications where transparency and thermal insulation are required. Useful for advanced optics, particle detection, and adsorption applications. Great for demonstrations and extreme engineering projects. Density is 0.11 g/cm³. Dimensions are ~10.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 1.0 cm. Hydrophobic surface chemistry.

Aerogel Technologies distributes unique aerogel art gifts handcrafted by master aerogel artisan Dr. Ioannis Michaloudis. Products we distribute include Bottled Sky, a unique and beautiful visual creation born from the unusual properties of silica aerogel. Bottled Skies are blue in front of a black background, virtually invisible in front of a white background, and cast a shadow with a golden hue reminiscent of the sun’s rays.  Medium Bottled Sky consists of pure silica aerogel cast into a signed, individually numbered bottle accompanied by a combination red laser/white LED keychain to experience the striking optical properties of aerogel firsthand.  Large Bottled Sky consists of pure silica aerogel embedded with a “cloud”, unique in form and which can never be repeated.
