Despite its almost transparent appearance, it is a&nbsp;<strong>solid, rigid, high-strength material<\/strong>&nbsp;but it is also fragile. The great advantage of aerogel is its&nbsp;<strong>low weight<\/strong>&nbsp;due to the high percentage of air voids (no less than 90%). This characteristic makes it the&nbsp;<strong>perfect material for thermal insulation<\/strong>. The air contained in these voids is not a very good conductor of heat. On the other hand, this material does not transmit heat either by convection or radiation.<\/p>\n<p>Non-hydrophilic and non-combustible<\/p>\n<p>If used as thermal insulation&nbsp;<strong>must be treated to convert it into non-hydrophilic material<\/strong>. The reason for this is its great capacity to absorb any type of liquid with which it comes into contact. We all know that a wet thermal insulator loses its thermal performance. On the other hand, aerogel is capable of withstanding temperatures of 1200\u00baC.
