Aerogel offers a brand-new solution for fire safety
With the acceleration of urbanization and the complexity of building structures, fire prevention and control have become a key focus of social concern. Traditional fireproof and heat-insulating materials have deficiencies in terms of high-temperature persistence, anti-toxicity and service life. The new type of aerogel material, with its A-level non-combustibility, ultra-low thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance, is becoming A key breakthrough in the field of fire safety.
Aerogel can be widely applied in scenarios such as fireproof sheaths for building cables, protective layers for elevator shafts, filling layers for fire doors, and insulation layers for wind power and electrical control cabinets. In a fire environment, it can effectively prevent the spread of fire, delay the transfer of high-temperature heat, and buy precious time for personnel evacuation and fire rescue.
Unlike traditional insulation materials, aerogel does not release toxic smoke when burning, significantly reducing the harm to the respiratory and nervous systems. Meanwhile, its lightweight, flexible and easy-to-install features enable it to adapt to confined Spaces and complex structures, meeting the safety requirements of modern buildings and equipment.
With the increasing demand for upgrading fireproof materials and raising fire safety standards, aerogel is expected to be applied in more fields, providing a more solid safety guarantee for society.
Aerogel for Fire Prevention and Fire Safety
Aerogel is a material for fire prevention and safety due to its exceptional thermal insulation, low density, and ability to form robust barriers, protecting structures and personnel from extreme heat, jet fires, and wildfires by limiting heat transfer, creating stable char layers, and even providing early fire warnings, making it vital for industrial, building, and firefighter applications. Its unique nanoporous structure restricts air movement, dramatically slowing heat flow, and newer formulations offer enhanced mechanical strength and smart features like self-extinguishing and sensing capabilities, surpassing traditional fireproofing.
Aerogel's structure limits heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation, protecting underlying materials from fire damage.
Aerogel offer hours of protection against intense hydrocarbon pool and jet fires in industrial settings, meeting stringent standards like API 521.
Sprayable aerogel precursors transform into a durable, silica-based shield that protects buildings from radiant heat and embers, remaining effective even after drying.
Aerogel composites can interpenetrate forming a denser, stable char layer, enhancing the substrate's structural stability during fires.
Advanced aerogels can incorporate conductive nanoparticles to detect temperature changes and trigger alarms or self-extinguish flames rapidly.
Flexible aerogel blankets are easy to install, even on operational equipment, and newer formulas are less dusty and more manageable than traditional fireproofing.
Industrial: Protecting piping, vessels, and equipment in petrochemical, LNG, and power generation facilities from fire and corrosion under fireproofing (CUF).
Building & Construction: Used in insulation and plaster systems for passive fire protection, contributing to non-flammable building envelopes.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Integrated into firefighter gear for enhanced thermal protection and early fire warning.
Critical Infrastructure: Protecting homes and essential structures from encroaching wildfires with advanced spray-on treatments.
Convection: Nanopores restrict air molecules, preventing convective heat transfer.
Conduction: The tortuous, solid network path increases thermal resistance.
Radiation: Some aerogels absorb infrared light, reducing radiative heat transfer.
Char Formation: During combustion, the aerogel matrix reinforces the developing carbon layer, creating a stronger barrier.
