FAQ IMPERIVM LEVRON AEROGEL
What is Aerogel?
It is a product made on a silica base treated and modified with nanotechnology
Is it a toxic product?
No, it is classified among non-toxic inert materials and therefore not dangerous for health
Is it a polluting product and produced with polluting processes?
Silica is a natural product and, in the case of compounds with the panels we produce, they are mainly made with recycled glass fibres. We are therefore talking about sustainable products made with non-polluting materials.
What is its shape
The product is originally made in granules or powder.
Subsequently, these products are used, mixed with other materials, for industrial uses.
In which sectors is Aerogel used?
As mentioned, the industrial uses are multiple and all aimed at enhancing the physical characteristics of the product. So we will find it in materials intended for industrial insulation and construction.
It is also mixed into paints, mortars, felts and other materials.
What are the main technical characteristics that the product gives to the materials?
-thermal insulation
-fire resistant
-Water repellent
-acoustic insulation (Magnesium Oxide Panel)
Does the R&D srl company produce or market the product?
R&D srl produces in partnership with the American Levron Chemicals
What certifications does the material have?
The production plant is equipped with a Certificate of Conformity (CE) and an ETA
R&D srl, which in turn is certified on Processes, Safety and Environment,
has CAM and provides DoP, declarations of use of recycled material, technical data sheets and specific tests carried out by international laboratories.
What is the thermal Lambda value obtained with the use of this product?
Aerogel, in its various forms and applied with other materials, determines a Lambda that oscillates from 0.004 to 0.021
How much does Aerogel cost?
It is not a cheap product but it generates great savings, in addition to safety, once applied.
The price may vary based on the reference articles. To obtain more precise information please request it directly via the page CONTACTS which will send a response promptly indicating the dealers, agents and distributors in the area.
What are the delivery times?
For goods ready in stock, a few days, while for orders with large volumes it takes approximately 4 weeks.
Which items are recommended in the construction sector and for what use?
Aer0gel in roll, Soft Felt, 100X500 cm, 10mm thick, also in multilayer version, ideal for bonding to plasterboard walls, insulation of window frames, screed, boiler insulation and wall cavities. etc
Hard Felt safety powder & aerogel panels Ultra Grip measuring 100X120 cm, 12 mm thick, also multilayer for external insulation systems, screed, insulation of insulated areas etc.
Aerogel and Magnesium Oxide panels measuring 100x120 cm, 22mm thick, also multilayer,
Material designed for external insulation and with great fire resistance.
How difficult is the product when "installing" and does it require an expert?
Aerogel panels are not a product to be applied without professional experience and knowledge. It is a material which has, as its main peculiarity, the excellence of thermal insulation and must therefore be assembled with care to avoid thermal bridges and thermal rebounds in the medium - long term.
For Aerogel, can water constitute humidity and therefore mould?
If the application is carried out correctly, the water does not find the ideal conditions to create mold or transfer to the wall. In particular, it is a breathable product that does not absorb liquids and therefore does not attract humidity or steam.
Fire resistance and why it may be important
In recent years, the products most used for thermal insulation have been those made of thermoplastic materials. These, in addition to having serious deficits in dimensional stability, present a high risk in the presence of flame, as they are classified "E" which means highly combustible.
If it is true that thermal insulation coefficients are important, fire resistance is even more important because, when a fire is running in a building, the resistance of the materials can determinate the survival factor.
The time it takes to get to safety makes the difference between life and death. This is what the materials used in modern constructions must do. Protect the lives of those who live inside them.
Fire resistance, even for short periods of time, allows buildings to be evacuated.
