About this material

flexible, nanoporous aerogel

Bluedec is a flexible, nanoporous aerogel blanket insulation that reduces energy loss while conserving interior space in residential and commercial building applications. Its extremely low thermal conductivity, superior flexibility, compression resistance, hydrophobicity, and ease of use make it ideal for those seeking ultimate thermal protection performance.

Using patented nanotechnology, Bluedec insulation combines a silica aerogel with reinforcing fibers to deliver industry-leading thermal performance in an easy-to-handle and environmentally safe product. It is a proven effective insulator in building applications, providing the highest R-value of any insulation material for maximum energy efficiency in walls, floors, roofs, framing, and windows. It insulates against heat and cold 2 to 8 times better than any other conventional insulation material. This means that much less material is needed to obtain the same insulation value. Because it is so thin, i.e. available in 5mm or 10mm thicknesses, it can also be used in difficult places. Furthermore it is flexible, making it extremely easy to use. It is also easy to cut or to trim.

Environmentally friend, Bluedec is water repellent but also vapour permeable. This material also retains constant quality over time, making it reusable. Bluedec is white in colour, has a maximum use temperature of 390°F (200°C) and a density of 9.4 lb/ft3.
