OCCA Weekly Webinars Series 13 continues with "Quartzene® Aerogel as Performance Additive in Paint and Coatings" presented by Alexander Grahn of Svenska Aerogel. The webinar will take place via Zoom on Wednesday 8 May at 2:30pm.

Abstract:

Quartzene® aerogels are an aerogel-like, porous, amorphous silica material produced from a completely water-borne process that differs from other ways of manufacturing aerogels. The aerogel with its porous structure contributes to excellent thermal insulation, improved fire behavior and lightweight to several applications within the building and construction, process industry and transport segment. Quartzene® can be used as a thermal insulative filler to decrease the thermal conductivity of a paint or a coating, for increasing the reflectivity for a cool roof paint and for stabilization of fire retardant and intumescent paints for example.
