Outlast introduces aerogel-enhanced fibre
14/03/2025
The first product to be launched in the Aersulate range was an ultra slim padding (1 to 3 mm thick). “Aersulate insulation can be a good solution for many different applications, especially when space is limited,” said M Pachur.
Aersulate padding was tested against a same viscose nonwoven without aerogel and showed a 35% higher thermal insulation. The material’s insulating properties are due to the extremely porous structure of aerogels, effectively composed of up to 99.8% air.
“The consistency of aerogel can be best described as liquid dust particles which spread uncontrollably throughout a room within seconds thanks to their minimal thickness. This is why processing is a big challenge,” commented Volker Schuster, Outlast's head of R&D.
