1 Fibre Reinforced Aerogel Blanket Introduction & Applications Annex 65 Superinsulating Materials

2 What is a superinsulating material? In practice a vacuum insulation panel or an aerogel containing product or assembly. Aspen Aerogels fall into 2 nd category we manufacture fibre reinforced aerogel blankets (FRABs) Lambda Declared mw/mk VIP FRAB FRAB A2 Phenolic PIR - Foil Foam Faced Superinsulation Class PIR - Fleece Faced Low Graphite Density EPS PIR EPS XPS Mineral Wool Stone Wool Hemp Fibre VIP FRAB FRAB A2 Phenolic Foam PIR - Foil Faced PIR - Fleece Faced Low Density PIR Graphite EPS EPS XPS Mineral Wool Stone Wool Hemp Fibre 2

3 Aspen Aerogels Aerogel Aerogels for spacesuits Aspen makes fiberreinforced aerogels 1930s PUF Aerogels offshore Construction Applications Aerogels invented Aspen Aerogels born Plant 1 opens Plant 2 opens 10 MM sqft capacity 100 MM sqft capacity

4 Physical Properties Silica Aerogel

5 Silica Aerogel Silica Aerogel contains 95-97% air Not vacuum based, do not require blowing agents Air is trapped within the nanometer scale cells Very convoluted silica matrix Extremely Hydrophobic by design ~10 nm

6 Aspen Aerogels Mission Critical applications

11 Add Hygrothermal Properties

12 Risk Assessment Based Selection Do the project stakeholders understand the impact of the proposed upgrades? Do they want to know! What do we know about the building? Can we meet U Value Requirements? Is the proposed upgrade solution fit for purpose? Is it achievable with the conditions on site? Is the result breathable or not? Vapour Barrier or variable diffusion membrane Does it address the risk of damage to (a) the building and (b) health of human users? Will a simulation / analysis help? How reliable is the other material information? Who is setting the standards? ~10 nm What lifespan do we expect?
