Pacor - PACOR Partners with Aspen Aerogels to Fabricate New Insulation PACOR Partners with Aspen Aerogels to Fabricate New Insulation
PACOR, Inc. has agreed to partner with Aspen Aerogels to fabricate revolutionary insulation materials made from nanoporous aerogels, the world's best thermal insulator. Materials are available from -460°F (-273°C) to 1200°F (649°C). Ideal for low, high, and dual temperature applications, aerogels offer 2 to 8 times the insulation value for the same thickness of traditional materials. Lighter than other insulation materials, Aspen Aerogels provide: resistance to flame spread and smoke; an extremely thin profile; and hydrophobicity.
