OKAGEL Light diffussing Nanogel

OKAGEL is a new insulating glass system. The inter-pane cavity is filled with translucent Nanogel®. Thanks to its extraordinary physical properties, OKAGEL is suited for many innovative applications wherever, light-diffusion and simultaneous thermal- and sound insulation are demanded

• museums
• gyms
• façades
• small, high windows 
• air wells  

The filling material Nanogel® from the Cabot Corporation belongs to a special class of noncrystalline solids. These highly brittle Aerogel offer unique physical properties. The products nanoporous particles with a diameter of 0.7 mm to 3.5 mm basically consist of SiO₂, the basic material of sand or glass. However Nanogel has an air content of about 95% and only weighs 75 g per litre. This makes Nanogel the lightest and best insulating solid in the world. It offers outstanding sound and thermal insulation uniquely combining them with a high light transmittance and light diffusion. Different glass build-ups result in a reduced thermal transmittance of U_g = 0.3 W/(m²K), respectively U_g = 0.05 Btu/
(hr ft² °F), which offers a completely new range of applications. 

Function Nanogel

The requirements towards the functionality of modern building envelopes become larger and more demanding. Today facades need to cover a variety of partly controversial tasks. The integrated consideration of all these functions not only brings new challenges for planers and architects but also demands new design solutions and building products. Façade elements filled with Nanogel® fulfil these increased requirements and additionally offer a series of new technical possibilities:

• excellent thermal insulation
• diffuse light permeability
• excellent sound absorption
• unlimited resistance against humidity 
• no mould, blight or agaric afflictions 
• UV stability 
• Environmental friendliness
• Nearly inflammable, no smoke creation
• No functional decline through the run of time
