How to use gas gel powder as concrete additives
What exactly is aerogel powder?
The aerogel powder's density is 3kg/m3. Silica aerogel is the most commonly used type of aerogel powder. This aerogel was created first by Kistler and friends, an American scientist. You can find many types of aerogels such as silica, carbon, sulfur and metal oxides. The gel must be able to remove all substances after drying. This is why the aerogel product can have high porosity or low density.
Aerogel powder application
Concrete additives can include aerogel, which reduces the thermal conductivity. Concrete blocks' thermal conductivity will drop if different amounts of silica aerogel are added. The concrete blocks will still have a lower compressive strength, but the shrinkage rate and hydrophobic silica aerogel powder content will increase. This feature allows concrete with SiO2 Aerogel to be used in non-bearing walls. Cement mortar can then be used as a bonding agents. Additives can now be developed to improve the concrete's mechanical properties.
The characteristics of ultra-light powdered gas gel
Aerogel's basic preparation principle is, according to scientists: remove solvent from gel and create a fully skeleton. The template-oriented method and sol-gel were used in previous preparations of aerogels. While the former is easy to produce in bulk, it's not as controllable. However, the latter is more difficult to create and is therefore less reliable. Gaochao researchers discovered a method to create a template-free freezing process. They freeze dried the aqueous solution that had been dissolved in graphene or carbon nanotubes at low temperature to make a "carbon sponge." This allows the user to adjust the shape of the material, which makes the manufacturing process easier and more efficient.
Aerogel powder prices
Aerogel powder purity and size will impact the price. The purchase volume may also have an effect on the cost. Large quantities of smaller amounts will result in a lower price. Our company website has the prices for aerogel powder.
