| - | Insulation Film is a hyper-thin aerogel substance, which can be applied to surfaces to act as an incredibly efficient, if fragile, thermal insulator. Usually supplied with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, Insulation Film can be applied to armour or other rigid or semi-rigid surfaces to protect from sources of prolonged cold or heat. Compared with other aerogels, Insulation Film is somewhat flexible, and has been subjected to additional treatments to enhance its resilience. It's incredible insulating properties are derived from its dendritic internal structure, and the immobilised gas pockets that fill the majority of the structure. On a nano-scale, Insulation Film consists of a vast number of tiny bubbles of gas, frozen in cured silicate polymer resin. | + | [{{ :image:science:467px-aerogelflower_filtered.jpg?200|<html><font color="black">Aerogels act as incredibly powerful insulators</font></html> ((Image is [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aerogelflower_filtered.jpg]].

| Insulation film was originally developed to coat specialist laboratories that required precise temperature and as an additional hull layer in starships and space stations. While most of these applications can use a more mass-produced version of the film, it is often thicker, heavier or more rigid. The original formulation provides by far the most effective ratios of weight, flexibility and insulation characteristics required for personal protection in the most hostile environments, despite it being more difficult to make. | Insulation film was originally developed to coat specialist laboratories that required precise temperature and as an additional hull layer in starships and space stations.
