Aerogel, as the world's lightest solid, has been selected in the Guinness World Records. A new type of aerogel developed by NASA has a density of only 3 milligrams per cubic centimeter. It has been officially selected as "the lowest density solid in the world" in the Guinness World Records.
a large-scale aerogel industrial chemical plant was officially completed
A few days ago, a large-scale aerogel industrial chemical plant with an annual production capacity of over 10,000 cubic meters was officially completed in Xinzhou District, Wuhan. It will become the largest manufacturer of aerogel raw materials in my country, accounting for about 1/8 of the global production capacity. This rewrites the long-term dominance of foreign companies in this field.
Aerogel is the lightest solid material with the lowest thermal conductivity in the physical world. It is widely used in aerospace, energy saving and environmental protection, national defense and military industry, petrochemical industry, rail transit and other fields. It is a new material that countries are competing to invest in research and development.
Hongda Technology Co., Ltd. invested in the construction of this aerogel production plant. Its chairman Guangwu Li said that HongdaTechnology has produced high-quality aerogels with its original low-cost reduced-pressure drying technology, resulting in an annual output of 100 cubic meters. The investment in the production equipment of aerogel has been reduced from 50 million yuan to 2 million yuan, and the product price has dropped by 80%, which is of great significance for the rapid promotion of aerogel in my country.
