Product Overview

Silica-Based Aerogel
Insulation Felt

Levron Aerogel Felt is a lightweight, silica-based, aerogel-enhanced insulation material produced from Levron Aerogel reinforced with stabilized glass wool. The result is a flexible, high-performance thermal barrier that combines the extraordinary insulation properties of nano-porous aerogel with the structural integrity of engineered fiber reinforcement.

Unlike conventional insulation materials that rely on bulk thickness for thermal resistance, aerogel felt achieves high-performance insulation in a compact, flexible format — enabling installation in constrained geometries, wrapped surfaces, and space-critical systems where conventional materials cannot perform.

Material Science

How Aerogel Felt
Achieves Extraordinary
Insulation

The performance of Levron Aerogel Felt is not achieved by adding more material. It's engineered into the fundamental molecular architecture — a three-dimensional silica network that suppresses heat transfer through three simultaneous mechanisms.

Nano-Scale Pore Confinement

A silica network with 50–100 nm pore sizes — smaller than the mean free path of air molecules at standard conditions. This physically constrains gas-phase heat transfer, creating more effective thermal shielding per millimeter than any conventional insulation material.

Triple Heat Transfer Suppression

Conduction minimized by tortuous solid pathways through the silica skeleton. Convection eliminated by molecular-scale air confinement. Radiation scattered and absorbed within the pore network. All three mechanisms addressed simultaneously — unlike conventional materials that address only one or two.

>90% Air — Structural Lightness

More than 90% of the material volume is air — one of the lightest solid structures known. Combined with glass wool reinforcement, this air-dominant architecture delivers exceptional thermal performance with minimal mass.

Surface Chemistry — Superhydrophobic Resilience

Chemical modification of the silica surface creates 165° superhydrophobic behavior that persists to 650°C. Moisture cannot penetrate the material structure, eliminating the performance degradation that characterizes conventional insulation systems in humid or wet environments.

Fire Resistance & Moisture Resilience

Two Standout Properties
That Define the
Product Advantage

Fire resistance and hydrophobicity are not independent features — they work together to create a fundamentally more reliable insulation system that maintains performance in conditions where conventional materials fail.

1000°C Direct Flame Verification

At 1000°C direct flame: 5 cm stone wool + 4 cm glass wool (9 cm total) failed within 9 minutes. A single 2 cm Levron Aerogel Felt layer withstood continuous exposure — the test was stopped voluntarily with the material still intact.

2 cm Levron outperformed 9 cm conventional

Superhydrophobic Surface Chemistry

165° water contact angle ensures complete moisture rejection. Conventional insulation loses 50%+ efficiency when wet — Levron Aerogel Felt maintains identical thermal performance in dry, humid, wet, or salt-spray environments.

Combined Fire + Moisture Advantage

In real-world installations, insulation faces both fire risk and moisture exposure. A material that resists fire but absorbs water — or repels water but fails under flame — provides incomplete protection. Levron Aerogel Felt addresses both simultaneously.

🔥

Fire Protection

A1 fire class — non-combustible. The material does not contribute to fire load, does not sustain flame, and maintains structural integrity under extreme thermal exposure. The insulation itself never becomes a vulnerability.

1000°C flame tested • A1 fire class • Test stopped voluntarily

💧

Moisture Resilience

165° superhydrophobic behavior active up to 650°C operating temperature. Mechanical impacts do not reduce hydrophobic performance. Zero moisture absorption — maintaining full insulation performance regardless of environmental conditions.

Engineering FAQ — Levron Aerogel Felt

What is the difference between the standard and ceramic wool variant?

The standard variant uses glass wool reinforcement and operates continuously from -200°C to +650°C. The ceramic wool variant replaces glass wool with ceramic fiber reinforcement, extending the upper operating limit to 1300°C. Both variants maintain the same silica aerogel matrix, hydrophobic behavior, and insulation performance characteristics.

How does 0.022 W/m·K compare to the platform-level 0.012 W/m·K?

The 0.012–0.016 W/m·K value represents pure Levron Aerogel material conductivity at the platform level. The 0.022–0.024 W/m·K value represents the applied aerogel felt product — which combines aerogel with glass wool reinforcement for structural integrity. The felt product still outperforms conventional insulation materials by 40–60% in thermal conductivity.

Can Levron Aerogel Felt be used in direct outdoor exposure?

Yes. The 165° superhydrophobic behavior provides complete moisture rejection in rain, humidity, and salt-spray environments. The material does not absorb water, does not grow bacteria or mold, and maintains full insulation performance regardless of weather exposure. UV resistance and chemical inertness further support outdoor durability.

What thicknesses are available and can they be customized?

Standard product thickness is 6–10 mm. Multiple layers can be applied for higher thermal resistance. Custom thicknesses, widths, and configurations are available through engineering consultation — including die-cut shapes and application-specific geometries.

Is the material safe for human contact and indoor environments?

Yes. Levron Aerogel and the resulting felt product are non-toxic and eco-safe. The material does not release harmful fibers, does not support bacterial or mold growth, and is suitable for both industrial and indoor applications where personnel contact may occur.

How does moisture affect insulation performance compared to stone wool?

Conventional stone wool and glass wool absorb moisture, losing 50%+ of thermal efficiency when wet. Levron Aerogel Felt is superhydrophobic (165° contact angle) — it physically cannot absorb water. This means identical thermal performance in dry, humid, or wet conditions — a critical advantage in real-world installations where moisture exposure is unavoidable.

What is the minimum order quantity for samples and production?

Evaluation samples can be provided in small quantities for testing purposes. Production quantities are discussed during engineering consultation based on application requirements, projected volumes, and customization needs. Contact our team to begin the evaluation process.
