A New Insulation That's Cooler and Quieter

A New Insulation That's Cooler and Quieter
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) researchers have developed a new insulation from materials known as aerogel composites. The new foam insulates against heat 2.6 times better than conventional insulation foam. The new material can make vehicles and buildings cooler and quieter compared the current insulation materials in the market.
When compared to traditional materials used in soundproofing, the new material can block out 80 percent of outside noise, 30 percent more than current commercial ones.
