CHALLENGES
  • The insulation had to resist intensive open flame exposure (1100°C above ambient temperature) for at least 15 minutes.
  • The cold side of the insulation could not reach higher than 150°C above ambient temperature.
  • The insulation needed to be light weight and install quickly and easily for serial production purposes.
AEROGEL SOLUTION
  • Pipistrel d.o.o. Ajdovscina developed a solution of encapsulated 6 mm Pyrogel® 6350 with a self-adhesive cold side.
  • The total thickness was just 7 mm.
BENEFITS
  • Pyrogel was a cost-effective solution that met all performance and other challenges.
  • The encapsulated solution was much lighter than conventional metal-sheet solutions.
  • Its cold side has a much lower temperature than conventional metal-sheet solutions, critical for epoxy-reinforced fiber composite constructions.
