Overview

This waterborne aerogel insulation coating is intended for thin-build building-envelope and retrofit evaluations where board insulation is difficult to install.

The published evidence is for the identified test sample and system context. Surface preparation, primer, dry-film build and finish layer must be defined for each project.

Primer
Confirm a compatible primer for the prepared substrate.
Aerogel insulation layer
Define the build and drying intervals for the selected coating.
Protective finish
Select the finish for the intended exposure and curing conditions.

Typical applications: Exterior walls, Roof retrofit, Factory buildings, Energy-saving renovation.

Handling and selection limits

Handling / storage

  • Confirm a clean, dry, stable substrate and compatible primer before trial application.
  • Build the insulation layer and protective finish to the approved system sequence and allow each layer to dry as specified.

Selection limits

  • Not a substitute for a whole-building energy model, facade design or local code review.
  • Thermal and adhesion results do not establish weathering, crack bridging or moisture performance for an untested substrate.

Product FAQ

Is 0.040 W/(m·K) a project guarantee?

No. It is a reported value for the submitted sample under the report conditions; verify the full system for the intended project.

Can this replace conventional facade insulation everywhere?

Selection depends on target thermal performance, permitted thickness, substrate, climate exposure and local building requirements.
