How it Works
Featured
Aerogels have very strong thermal insulation properties, low thermal conductivity, and can resist temperatures of over a thousand degrees. They were first used in NASA’s space suits and are widely used in aerospace thermal insulation layers.
Ultra Light
Aerogel thermal polyester yarn is extremely lightweight, with a density as low as 0.003g/cm³, making it ideal for applications where weight is a critical factor.
Soft and Smooth
The extremely low density of aerogel fiber (as low as 0.003g/cm³) makes it feel light and soft to the touch, adding to its comfort when used in textiles.
Thermal Insulation
Aerogel yarn has a very low thermal conductivity (0.017-0.020W/M.K), making it an excellent insulator.
Aerogel Fiber vs Down Insulation at a Glance

Aerogel Yarn Applications
Aerogel yarn can be applied to storm jackets, mountaineering clothes, warm gloves, warm shoes and insoles, hats, waistcoats, sleeping bags, tents, yurts, and more. Because of its low thermal conductivity, lightweight, breathable, and hydrophobic characteristics, can provide efficient thermal insulation performance. If you find Lightweight high-performance insulation for alpine conditions, you could choose the aerogel heating yarn.
