    Cabot aerogel products are widely used in industrial and building insulation

    Cabot, a specialty chemicals and high-performance materials company, has a wide range of aerogel products that have been widely used in industrial and building insulation and have been well received
    by the industry.
    Cabot's aerogel products include Lumira aerogels and Enova aerogels
    .
    Compared with similar products, Cabot aerogel not only has the inherent advantages of low density, low thermal conductivity, high porosity, high specific surface area, etc.
    , but also has three characteristics:
    (1) stable production process and good
    product quality.
    Most of the aerogel products use the "supercritical" production process, which requires batch processing of combustible solvents under supercritical conditions (high pressure, high temperature), which not only has fire hazards, high production energy consumption, and the parent polysiloxane and tetraethyl orthosilicate used are expensive
    .
    To this end, Cabot adopts a "subcritical" production process to overcome the defects of the "supercritical" production process, and its production process is stable and the product quality is good
    .

    (2) Continuous production, low
    production cost.
    Due to Cabot's "subcritical" production process, there is no need to batch process combustible solvents under supercritical conditions (high pressure, high temperature), production is continuous, and production energy consumption and production costs
    are reduced.

    (3) The product has a wide
    range of applications.
    Products can be used for industrial insulation, including thermal insulation coatings, thermal insulation blanket felt, pipeline compression package; Building insulation, including aerogel glass, insulation board, vacuum insulation board, thermal insulation mortar, architectural coating; Special applications, including reinforcing agents, light guides, etc
    .
