Silica Aerogel particles are a type of aerogels that are composed solely of silica and have the highest concentration of gas per unit volume. The textures vary from soft to hard, with hard ones being more expensive as they require more time to make them due to the drying period in between steps. Silica Aerogel Particles are inorganic substances with a porous structure and excellent insulation properties. These particles have low thermal conductivity, which provides protection against extreme temperatures in both hot and cold climates. In addition to the high efficiency of heat transfer resistance, this kind of material can also be used as an insulating filler for various construction materials such as metal wiring gauze or fabric materials, thereby improving their insulation property and reducing costs. The abundant oxygen content found in Silica Aerogels has made them attractive for use on spacecraft are (known as aerogel blankets) because they do not provide fuel for the fire that could cause damage to space vehicles through combustion; however, it does require special care during handling.
On the basis of Type, the global Silica Aerogel Particles market is segmented into Powder and Granules.
Powder Silica Aerogel Particles are the smallest particles, which can easily be processed into fillers and additives. They contain a high percentage of air in their structure, with up to 99% by volume being empty space. Powder-based silica aerogels are used as insulators for buildings or construction materials such as metal wiring gauze or fabric material (improving insulation properties) and reducing costs. Powder types of silica aerogels are made from a process called spray drying where they have been placed in an environment that has been heated, it leads to both liquid (solvent) and solid forms of the product being released at high speed, leading to very uniform particle sizes which makes them excellent for coating purposes.
The granules type of Silica Aerogel Particles is the most popular form for global distribution. It does not require as much processing and it is easier to work within manufacturing processes. These silicon dioxide particles are produced via a process called wet chemical synthesis, which adds water to an alcohol-based solution containing sodium silicate and other additives before being heated up. The product forms droplets that grow larger over time when they reach their desired size typically between 0.04 mm and 0.08mm in diameter depending on the needs and then can be removed from the furnace using a conveyor belt or screw conveyor system designed specifically for this purpose (in some cases).
On the basis of Application, the global Silica Aerogel Particles market is segmented into Building Insulation, Aerospace & Defence Materials, Transportation, Oil & Gas Consumables.
This application deals with thermal control within enclosed spaces such as homes that use electricity to heat/cool rooms. Silica aerogel has also made its presence felt in residential buildings, where it's able to provide much more effective insulation for buildings and in particular those with high ceilings. It also reduces the total amount of energy used, which helps homeowners save on their electricity bills as well. Silica Aerogels are usually applied during the process of building insulating structures such as pumice reinforcement layer, roofing, curtain wall cladding etc., but can also be “sprayed-on” to existing walls/ceilings if no other option exists (e.g., new home).
Silica aerogel is used as a barrier and insulation in aerospace applications due to its excellent thermal properties. It can also be combined with other materials for better performance such as guarding against high pressures or small particles that could damage the spacecraft while acting as an insulator. Silica-based aerogels are highly resistant to ionizing radiation and their low density makes them ideal for use in space exploration projects where weight plays a major role. They're also less dense than air which helps reduce stresses on landing gear during takeoff/landing cycles of aircraft and have been found useful when it comes to reducing noise pollution from movement within enclosed spaces like submarines by controlling vibration levels from engine movements.
The transportation industry has been using silica aerogel for insulation purposes since its bulk density at just 0.17 lb/ft³ allows them to cut down on fuel costs by eliminating excess air from their pipelines when carrying liquid hydrocarbons like gasoline and diesel fuels. These liquids are commonly referred to as "slops" because they're not pure enough for direct consumption but are still useful components of various products and processes within oil refineries and as such are often transported to those facilities. In other words, silica aerogels in transport applications can be used as a way of avoiding the need for inefficient or expensive refrigeration systems that would otherwise have been necessary to keep the slops at an appropriate temperature.
Companies involved with oil and gas production and processing also make use of this insulation material by covering their pipelines with it before filling them up so that they're able to better control how much fluid is lost from them during transportation. This prevents any expansion of gases that might cause leaks in these pipes while simultaneously keeping heat loss down through insulating purposes. The use of silica aerogel particles in oil and gas consumables is not limited to the aforementioned uses. Primarily, they act as a form of insulation for flow lines, which can be used to increase their operational efficiency by preventing heat loss or gain. They also lessen the risk of corrosion through other protective properties that coat them.
On the basis of Region, the global Silica Aerogel Particles market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is the largest market for Silica Aerogel Particles in terms of revenue due to the growth of the construction industry coupled with stringent emission norms followed by the European region. The Asia Pacific and Latin America are expected to show lucrative growth rates over the next five years, owing to their rapid industrialization process and increasing development activities respectively.
The growth of the global Silica Aerogel Particles market is driven by factors such as rising production and demand for aerogels, changing lifestyles, increasing use in various industries. Other factors include continuous enhancement of properties and cost-effectiveness, as well as growing demand in the Asia Pacific. Further, the rise in awareness about aerogel is also a factor for the growth of the global Silica Aerogel Particles market.
