Aerogel Technologies

Aerogel Technologies, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, develops Airloy aerogel-based ultramaterials that address the trade-off between light weight and mechanical strength in conventional plastics and composites used in aerospace and automotive design.

The company manufactures Airloy in machinable panels, molded 3D shapes and flexible thin films that are three to fifteen times lighter than plastics while offering thermal and acoustic insulation and non-flammability. Products are supplied to aerospace, automotive and engineering customers, and also sold through the company’s BuyAerogel.com platform alongside aerogel materials from other manufacturers.

1. Airloy panels: machinable aerogel composite panels usable as structural plastic replacements.

2. Molded 3D shapes: custom-formed Airloy parts for specialized engineering applications.

3. Flexible thin films: lightweight aerogel films for thermal and acoustic applications.

4. Extreme weight savings: products three to fifteen times lighter than conventional plastics.

5. Multi-property performance: combines insulation, soundproofing and non-flammability in one material.

6. Direct distribution: sold to industrial customers and via the BuyAerogel.com online platform.
