Frequently Asked Questions
The following questions are commonly raised during aerogel powder selection, sample testing and formulation evaluation.
What is the recommended dosage of aerogel powder?
+
The recommended dosage depends on the formulation system, target insulation performance, viscosity requirements and processing method. For coating and resin systems, customers are advised to conduct small-scale trials first and adjust the dosage based on thermal performance, dispersion stability and application properties.
How should aerogel powder be dispersed in coatings or resins?
+
Aerogel powder is generally added during the mixing or dispersion stage. Proper wetting, controlled mixing speed and suitable dispersing agents may help improve distribution in the system. The optimal process should be verified according to the customer's specific coating, resin or composite formulation.
Can aerogel powder replace traditional insulation fillers?
+
Aerogel powder is not always a direct one-to-one replacement for traditional fillers. It is usually evaluated as a performance-enhancing thermal insulation additive. The final formulation should consider thermal conductivity, density, viscosity, cost target, mechanical properties and processing conditions.
Is hydrophobic aerogel powder suitable for water-based systems?
+
Hydrophobic aerogel powder can be evaluated in selected water-based systems, but formulation compatibility must be tested carefully. Wetting, dispersion stability, pH, additives and mixing process may affect the final performance. Sample testing is recommended before scale-up.
Does aerogel powder generate dust during processing?
+
As a lightweight powder material, dust may be generated during handling, feeding or mixing. Appropriate ventilation, dust control and personal protective measures should be used according to the material safety data sheet and the customer's workplace safety requirements.
Can I request samples for testing?
+
Yes. Samples may be provided for qualified application evaluation. Please share your target application, formulation type, expected performance requirements and basic process conditions so that suitable material information and sample support can be recommended.
Application results should be verified under the customer's actual formulation, process and service conditions. Airgeltech provides material-level technical clarification, sample evaluation support and documentation support where appropriate.
