Aerogel Technology

Technology continues to introduce innovations that shape and advance every aspect of our lives. Industries that ignore these developments are ultimately destined to fall behind in the long term.

One undeniable reality in our daily lives is construction, which makes the use of technology in the building sector an essential and necessary standard. As Haydar Boz Insulation, with our commitment to continuous development, we closely follow the technologies behind every material we use. For this reason, we are pleased to share a new and innovative product that we have been closely following.

Armacell’s ArmaGel DT, which incorporates aerogel technology, is now becoming more accessible in Türkiye following the strong interest it has gained abroad.

Aerogel is known as the lightest solid material in the world. It has an ultra-low density and a highly porous structure, often referred to as “frozen smoke” or “ghost gel.” Although it appears gel-like, it consists of an extensive porous network that makes it extremely lightweight.

First discovered in 1931 by Steven Kistler, aerogel is typically produced based on silicon dioxide (silica). One of its most remarkable properties is its extremely low thermal conductivity, which makes it an excellent insulation material against temperature changes. As a result, it is used in a wide range of applications, from space technology to sportswear. Aerogel also has potential applications in sound insulation, energy storage, drug delivery, water purification, and many other fields.

Aerogel technology can be highly effective for thermal insulation purposes. Armacell has developed the ArmaGel DT product to take advantage of this performance, offering extremely low thermal conductivity and excellent heat insulation capability.

Thanks to this property, thin layers or panels of ArmaGel DT can be used in buildings, industrial equipment, refrigeration systems, and various other applications.

Compared to traditional insulation materials, Armacell ArmaGel DT offers a much thinner and lighter structure while still providing high-level thermal insulation. This is particularly important in the construction industry, as it improves energy efficiency without reducing interior space.

ArmaGel DT sheets and panels can also be used in cold storage facilities, energy production and distribution systems, and even vehicle thermal insulation. It is especially suitable for applications that require high thermal performance.

Since 1953, Haydar Boz Insulation has been dedicated to the field of insulation and has played an active role in the sector’s development. The company will continue to strengthen its collaboration with Armacell to promote and expand the use of such advanced technologies.
