SKOGAR® VHT 2.0

SKOGAR® VHT | Aerospace-Grade Ultra-High Temperature Aerogel Shield

Advanced semi-rigid thermal insulation combining silica aerogel and pure silica fibers, engineered to withstand extreme thermal loads in aviation, space, and defense applications.

Uncompromised Thermal Protection for Critical Environments

• Aerospace Heat Shielding: Specifically developed to endure extreme chocs and severe thermal environments, offering a short-time flame exposure rating up to 1400°C.
• Aviation Fire Compliance : Fully compliant with the most stringent international fire safety standards, holding official V-0 flammability classifications under UL 94V- and FAR 25.853 Appendix F.
• Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity: Delivers supreme insulating performance with an incredibly low thermal conductivity of 0.012 to 0.017 W/(m.K) at 20°C.
• Optimized Semi-Rigid Framework: Unlike standard flexible blankets, its semi-rigid structure provides robust mechanical stability, making it easier to integrate into structural bulkheads and aerospace frames.
• Lightweight Efficiency: Engineered with a low nominal density (145 to 165 kg/m³ ) to provide heavy-duty thermal protection without adding critical weight to flight payloads.
• Moisture Defense: Formulated with a completely hydrophobic surface chemistry to ensure long-term performance and prevent water absorption or corrosion under insulation.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions about SKOGAR® VHT

• What makes SKOGAR® VHT suitable for aerospace applications?

SKOGAR® VHT features a specialized matrix of silica aerogel reinforced with high-purity silica fibers. This enables it to survive intense short-time flame exposures up to 1400°C while complying with the strict FAR 25.853 aviation standard.

• What is the structural rigidity of SKOGAR® VHT?

Unlike standard flexible aerogel wraps, SKOGAR® VHT is a semi-rigid sheet, offering excellent structural integrity and compression resistance (≤45% deformation at 0.2 MPa) for high-vibration aerospace environments.

• Does SKOGAR® VHT absorb water?

No. Thanks to its hydrophobic surface chemistry, it natively repels water, preventing moisture accumulation and protecting delicate surrounding equipment.
