Aerogel Thermal Performance – With the Flexibility of a Blanket

• Start with a non-woven blanket

– Typically polyester, glass, carbon, or ceramic fiber

• Fill that blanket with a wet gel
• Dry the blanket via

supercritical CO2 extraction

• Roll the blanket onto a spool

Step 1: Fill fibrous batting with a liquid-solid solution Step 2: Extract solvents with supercritical carbon dioxide Step 3: Resulting dry, fiber-reinforced aerogel blanket

EE & ECO2 Comparison

• EE of aerogel is higher than others on a mass basis, but our thermal performance is

superior, such that the energy return/payback is greater.

• Typical CO2 payback time is 2 – 12 month in domestic refurbishment ,

dependant on fuel type and wall construction
