Aerogel blankets incorporate aerogel particles into ultra-thin, flexible nonwovens with superior insulating properties. Blankets products are available in multiple thicknesses up to 10 millimeters, and can be used as thermal insulation in buildings, apparel and industrial insulation. They are particularly well-suited for applications that require a thin product that can be easily cut, rolled and shaped on the job site. Because they offer high insulation performance even when compressed, they are especially useful as a thermal break in places that otherwise conduct heat, such as over studs and around windows.
