Abstract

A thermal insulation composition is described which is dry, free-flowing, granular, and has a thermal conductivity approximately that of dry still air. The composition contains two granular siliceous materials and a granular opacifier. The first siliceous material is coarser and denser, and provides the principal bulk density of the final mixture. The second siliceous material is quite fine, and provides the principal free-flowing properties of the mixture. In a preferred embodiment a third siliceous material is also included to increase the overall surface area.
