Hydrophobic Silica Aerogels are specially formulated to repel water and not absorb moisture from the air. Where Classic Silica tends to shrink and cloud in humid environments, Hydrophobic Silica retains its transparency and integrity. Floats on water without damage! Excellent for applications involving absorption of hydrophobic substances such as oil. Dimensions are ~2.6 cm x 0.7 cm.

Airloy® H103 Hydrophobic Strong Aerogel Tiles

Airloy^® H103 offers all of the benefits of our Airloy X100 series products, but has been formulated to be hydrophobic and can withstand prolonged liquid water exposure. Airloy H103 is a mechanically robust aerogel that comes in densities up to fifteen times lighter than plastics (about the same density as our Classic Silica aerogels) yet is about 100x stronger in compression than classic aerogels and without the fragility of classic aerogels. Dust-free. Machinable and adherable. Provides 10-1000x better acoustic damping than traditional engineering materials over most audible frequencies. Thermally superinsulating with a thermal conductivity between classic silica aerogels and Styrofoam^®. Maximum operating temperature is ~80°C. Dimensions are approximately 2" x 3" x 0.3" (5 cm x 7.5 cm x 0.7 cm). Download the material SDS here. For operating temperatures up to 300°C, choose Airloy X116 instead. Airloys are sold by density. Properties such as strength and stiffness increase with increasing density, while thermal conductivity decreases with decreasing density. Airloy H103 properties scale with density approximately as follows:

Density Class	Density	Compressive Yield Strength^a	Compressive Modulus^a	Ultimate Strength^a	Thermal Conductivity^a	24h water uptake^a
L	0.11 g/cc	0.6 MPa	11 MPa	43 MPa	23 mW/m-K	10 wt%
