Checking the details from where you order it should usually be enough...

serious advice...aerogel is not worth it...factoring in predictions AND the tests AND the open whole on top...the difference it makes is negligible...save the cash, buy your team so pizza

Yes that is true, aerogel deforms quickly over time. Wait but how would aerogel even have any fiberglass in it?

Blanket style aerogel is not actually aerogel, it’s a composite made with aerogel and some their stuff. Much of that other stuff is fiberglass. You can check the SDS of the product on the company’s website usually.

As far as the efficacy of aerogel, I say this: if you haven’t tested it, don’t act like you have. It’s probable that the difference made by aerogel is very small, but why not let other teams discover that for themselves?

But I have tested it -_-

I am answering several posts here:

If your aerogel has fiberglass in it, then you cannot use it (see the rules). Aerogel would have fiberglass in it because some companies inject the gel into a fiberglass membrane or whatever you call it. The result is aerogel which irritates your skin when you touch it (not that much, just a tiny bit), and in my experience, hitting or slapping it releases a cloud of dust.

By the way, do you guys think there would be a huge difference between aerogel and styrofoam (in terms of the r-value and overall heat retention). Thanks!

There wouldn't be a huge difference, no...in fact, taking all the factors into consideration, I would recommend PUR foam

And yes, Spaceloft aerogel has fiberglass in it.

Wait, what does PUR foam mean? Do you mean polyethylene? I am not sure what you mean.

Do you mean "polyurethane?"

Yes I do, people make typos...don't judge

Yes, man. I really truly appreciate your help. I think that PUR foam might actually work for me, and you have no idea how much you saved me. I wish I could help you back!

By the way, do you think the following link has asbestos, mineral wool, or fiberglass?
