  1. MaterialTranslucent aerogelCabot aerogel is a family of highly porous, hydrophobic, high surface area amorphous silica particles or granules. Aerogel is a hydrophobic amorphous silica product that is chemically similar to common fumed silica products. The highly porous structure of the aerogel allows light to diffuse throughout a daylighting system. In addition, the material is a great thermal insulator.
  2. MaterialAerogelAerogel is a synthetic, porous, ultra-light material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely low density and low thermal conductivity. Its primary use is in daylighting applications, where visible light is required to pass through a daylighting unit, which still maintains excellent thermal insulation.
