Nanogel is a brand of aerogel insulation mainly used in building products and oil and gas industries. It is sometimes called "frozen smoke". It is made by Cabot Corporation, which has a plant in Frankfurt, Germany. It is an aerogel that consists of 95% air, in nano-sized pores that inhibit heat transfer through the aerogel. Made in grades from opaque to translucent, it can be adapted to different environments. Nanogel is increasingly being used in skylights and daylighting systems. It helps to retain the natural light while doubling the insulation. It is non-toxic, non-combustible, reduces glare, lowers noise levels and reduces HVAC loads. Although the added insulation saves energy costs, and - depending on the climate - may be cost-effective in the long run, the initial cost may be prohibitive for lower budget projects.
