AIRG-9015M Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Powder

AIRG-9015M is a fine-grade hydrophobic silica aerogel powder with a D90 particle size of 10–15 μm, developed for coatings, composites and engineered formulations requiring controlled particle distribution

Product Overview

AIRG-9015M is the Fine Grade within the AIRG hydrophobic silica aerogel powder series.

With a D90 particle size range of 10–15 μm, AIRG-9015M is designed for formulations requiring a balance between dispersion performance, formulation consistency, and processing efficiency.

The combination of ultra-low thermal conductivity, high porosity, hydrophobic surface chemistry, and fine particle distribution makes AIRG-9015M suitable for thermal insulation coatings, polymer composites, specialty fillers, and energy-efficient material systems where both insulation performance and practical manufacturability are important.

Why Choose AIRG-9015M?

Many thermal insulation formulations require more than low thermal conductivity alone. Manufacturers must also consider processing behavior, formulation stability, particle distribution, and production efficiency.

AIRG-9015M is engineered to provide an effective balance between particle fineness and practical handling characteristics. Compared with coarser grades, it can contribute to improved formulation uniformity and more consistent material distribution. Compared with ultra-fine grades, it often offers favorable flowability and processing efficiency in industrial-scale production.

For applications where both thermal insulation performance and manufacturing practicality are important, AIRG-9015M provides a balanced silica aerogel powder solution.
