A Real Spinoff that NASA Has Seemingly Forgotten About

New Aerospace Technology, ‘Aerogel,’ the Highest Insulating Material in Existence, Now Available to the Building Industry

“Taking the newly discovered Aerogel insulation technology developed by NASA, which is the highest insulating material in existence, Thermablok(TM) developed an amazing product that may soon become a requirement in the building industry. Aerogel, also referred to as “frozen smoke,” has been difficult to adapt to most uses because of its fragility. The patented Thermablok material however overcomes this by using a unique fiber to suspend a proprietary formula of Aerogel such that it can be bent or compressed while still retaining its amazing insulation properties.”
