TermoRasante Aerogel MGN
A pure AeroGel-Lime mix, probably the best insulating plaster on the market
10mm of this product performs similarly to a one inch insulated plasterboard
Typical applications: Insulating buildings, where adding thickness is not possible; Insulating window reveals and cold bridges; Anti-condensation and anti-mould coat; Passive House projects
This is a high performance Lime Insulating Plaster, classified as Super Insulation.
– Low thickness provides superb insulation,
– Easily beating condensation and mould,
– Providing high thermal comfort in your home, reflecting heat back into your living area, holding cold out and heat inside,
– Highly breathable
Based on experience, even a 4-10 mm coat can raise the surface temperature of the walls significantly. It can be used in any building, even for insulating uneven thick stone walls, single skin brick walls, timber frame infill panels, cold bridges, etc.
Suitable for use in Passive House projects.
Aerogel was initially a NASA invention, used for insulating Mars Rovers and as a heat shield for Space Shuttles
Aerogel is an extremely light material of 99.8% air, weighing about 1 kg/m³, also known as “solid air” or “blue smoke” due to its translucent nature and the way it scatters light.
Probably this is the best way to explain its unique structure: Imagine a bowl full of a sweet, wiggly gelatine dessert. Lets suppose your mischievous kid placed it into an oven and dried all the moisture out. Only a pile of powder remained, right?
Well, not in this case!
Because this jelly maintains its shape and structure, even after thorough moisture extraction, it becomes a super light solid.
This translucent material is the greatest known heat insulator. This property made it possible for NASA’s Glenn team to develop an inflatable re-entry tool called HIAD, which is stored, folded up in the launch vehicle, until the moment arrives. This tool once inflated helps slowing down the aircraft and preventing it from overheating.
Even the Mars Rovers’ thermal insulation was made of Aerogel.
