The AeroShield Material
ultra-clear silica aerogel
About silica aerogels
NASA/JPL-Caltech
Silica aerogels are amazing materials with unique physical properties like ultra-low density, super-insulation, and heat resistance. They are best known for being developed at NASA to insulate critical equipment and collect comet dust.
​
Sometimes referred to as ‘frozen smoke’, silica aerogels traditionally have a blue hue due to their chemical composition and nanostructure.
Our novel aerogel technology
AeroShield manufactures a super-insulating glass sheet based on silica aerogel technology developed at MIT.
​
This solid material is made up of 95% gas trapped inside pores that are so small the naked eye can’t see them. It’s this unique patent-pending nanostructure that lets us deliver clear, super-insulating performance in a cost-effective sheet.
The Aeroshield material has properties never before seen in an aerogel
More transparent than glass
2x more insulating than air
Lighter than a marshmallow
AeroShield has optimized chemical recipes and synthesis to achieve optical clarity surpassing prior performance in silica aerogels.
​
Years of development mean the AeroShield material is the perfect solution when insulation, transparency, and weight matter most.
