Aerogel Coatings: Why Are Outdoor Versions More Durable? A Practical Adhesion Test!

Aerogel Coatings: Why Are Outdoor Versions More Durable? A Practical Adhesion Test!

Summary

In our previous test, we found that the indoor-grade aerogel coating offered relatively good thermal insulation. In this installment, we’ll explore why an outdoor-grade version is necessary.

Outdoor coatings are more susceptible to external forces that can cause them to peel or flake off; therefore, beyond providing thermal insulation, they must also be more stable and durable.
