As a new type of thermal insulation material, aerogel thermal insulation material has been widely used in construction, industry and other fields. However, there are some doubts about whether it is harmful to the body.
The main components of aerogel thermal insulation materials are usually inorganic substances such as silica and alumina, which are non-toxic. By sol-gel method and supercritical drying method, the material is prepared into a solid material with nanoscale porous structure, and the pores of its internal structure are mainly filled by air, so the aerogel insulation material itself is harmless to the body.

It should be noted that during the preparation and installation of aerogels, substances such as dust and volatile organic compounds may be generated, which may affect the health of construction workers. Therefore, during the construction process, construction personnel should wear protective masks, gloves and other personal protective equipment to avoid inhaling dust and harmful gases. After the construction of aerogel thermal insulation materials, adequate ventilation should be carried out to ensure that the indoor air quality meets the standard.
Aerogel thermal insulation materials with low thermal conductivity, light weight, low density, good fire performance, sound absorption performance, environmental sustainability and many other advantages, widely used in construction, transportation, petrochemical, new energy and other fields, such as: Wall insulation, roof insulation, pipeline insulation, refrigerated vehicle insulation, industrial equipment fire insulation, new energy battery insulation and other aspects, to provide effective energy saving and insulation effects.
The aerogel insulation itself is not harmful to the body. However, during the preparation and installation process, substances such as dust and volatile organic compounds may be produced, which can affect the health of construction workers. Therefore, when using aerogel thermal insulation materials, corresponding protective measures need to be taken to ensure that indoor air quality meets the standard.
