Product Overview
AIRG-9030M is a hydrophobic silica aerogel powder developed as the general-purpose grade within the AIRG aerogel powder series.
With a D90 particle size range of 25–30 μm, AIRG-9030M is designed to provide a practical balance between dispersion performance, processing flexibility and thermal insulation efficiency. The material is suitable for manufacturers seeking a versatile aerogel additive that can be evaluated across a broad range of insulation-related formulations.
Its combination of ultra-low thermal conductivity, high porosity and hydrophobic surface chemistry enables AIRG-9030M to contribute thermal insulation performance while maintaining lightweight material characteristics.
Why Choose AIRG-9030M?
For many formulation developers, flexibility is just as important as thermal performance.
AIRG-9030M is engineered to provide a practical combination of dispersion behavior, aerogel incorporation efficiency and formulation adaptability. This balance makes it suitable for evaluating aerogel technology in coating systems, composite formulations and lightweight insulation materials without being optimized exclusively for either ultra-fine dispersion or maximum loading capacity.
As a result, AIRG-9030M is often selected as a versatile starting point for aerogel-based formulation development.
What Makes AIRG-9030M Different?
AIRG-9030M occupies the general-purpose position within the AIRG hydrophobic silica aerogel powder family.
Key characteristics include:
▸General-purpose particle size distribution
▸Good dispersion performance
▸Broad formulation compatibility
▸Consistent processing behavior
