Product description Lumira™ aerogel:

Lumira™ aerogel is the tradename of the Cabot Corporation for its family of silica aerogels.

Lumira™ aerogel used in fenestration products is an amorphous form of synthetic silica struc-turedbynano–sizedpores.Nanostandsforverysmallporesandstructureswithadiameterofaround20nanometer.About95percentofitsvolumeisoccupiedbyair,makingaerogeltheworld’slightestsolidmaterial.Thelowsolidscontentandextremelysmallporesizemakeitveryeffectiveagainstconductionandconvectionofheat.Theamorphoussilicaparticlesare inherently safe under most construction materials measurements. Additionally, aerogel is chemicallyandultraviolet(UV)-stable,nontoxic,noncombustible,andgeneratesnosmoke.Itisalsopermanentlyhydrophobicsoitrepelswater,resistsvapormigration,anddoesnotsupportgrowthofmouldormildewspores.Aerogelisalsopermanentlynon-yellowing,withaluminouswhiteappearance.Sincesilicaisinert,aerogelcanlastthelifeofastructureandbe recycled when the building is decommissioned.

Someproductsmayperformsimilarlyinonearea,butLumira™aerogelexcelsinallofthefollowing:

• Unsurpassed thermal insulation: 0.018W/m.K. This allowsmore natural daylightthrougharoofand/orafacadewhileminimizingheatloss.

• Good light transmission:upto80%percm.Naturaldaylightcreatesamoreefficientandbeneficialinteriorenvironment,withpositivepsychologicalandphysiologicaleffects.

• Excellent light diffusion:translucencyandevendistributionoflightinsidethebuilding.Thisallowsareductionoreliminationofglareandimprovedcomfort.Solarblindsystemsmaynotbenecessary,meaningareducedinitialinvestment,noneedformaintenance,and no modification of architectural design.

• Reduction of solar transmission. Depending on the type of sheet used reduction total solartransmissionlevelof30%ormorecanbeachieved.

• Improved acoustic insulation: 100m/secvs.340m/secinair.50%reductionat100Hz.

• UV resistance and hydrophobicity: no growth of fungus nor mildew, performance will notdeteriorateovertime.

• Considered as a non-combustible(ASTMD1929)andnon-smoking material (ASTME662).

• Low weight:70-100kg/m3. Due to low weight of Lumira™ aerogel the same static cal-culations of windloads can be used.
