Aerogel thermal insulation materials are based on their inorganic materials, such as silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide. These components are stable under normal conditions and will not decompose or release harmful substances, so they are considered non-toxic. Through exquisite preparation processes, including sol gel method and supercritical drying method, these materials are elaborately made into nano porous solids. Its internal pores are mainly occupied by air, which makes the aerogel thermal insulation material become a high-quality material friendly to the environment and harmless to the body.
01 Safety performance advantages
Avirulent Insipidity
Different from formaldehyde, benzene and other volatile organic compounds that may be released by some traditional thermal insulation or decoration materials, aerogel materials remain non-toxic and tasteless when used. Its unique nanoscale porous structure not only has efficient adsorption capacity, but also effectively purifies particulate matter and toxic gases in the air, thereby improving indoor air quality.
For example, choosing aerogel as thermal insulation material during interior decoration can ensure that residents will be free from pungent smell and enjoy a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
Excellent chemical stability
Aerogels exhibit excellent chemical stability and are not easy to react with air, water, etc. This stability enables it to maintain stable performance over long-term use, ensuring that it does not pose potential risks to human health.
02 Precautions during use
Although aerogel materials are safe in most cases, the following points should be paid attention to during their processing and preparation to ensure safe use:
processing
In the process of aerogel, improper additives or processes should be avoided to prevent the introduction of potentially harmful substances. In order to ensure the safety of the selected products, it is recommended to purchase aerogel products that have passed the quality test from regular manufacturers.
For example, some aerogel plates with poor quality may release harmful substances during use due to excessive addition of binder.
Preparation process
During the preparation and installation of aerogel, it is necessary to prevent the generation of dust, volatile organic compounds and other substances, which may affect the health of construction personnel. Therefore, construction personnel should be equipped with personal protective equipment such as protective masks and gloves to reduce the risk of inhaling dust and harmful gases. After the construction is completed, sufficient ventilation should be ensured to ensure that the indoor air quality meets the standards.
Aerogel thermal insulation material, a new type of thermal insulation material, plays an increasingly important role in many fields such as construction and industry. Generally, aerogel materials will not release substances harmful to human body. However, to ensure its safe use, we still need to choose legitimate products when purchasing, and use and maintain them properly.
