The invention adopts aerogel catalyst, the aerogel is used as the catalyst to adjust the gelling speed and shorten the reaction time, and the aerogel is just hydrophobic and does not contain hydroxyl and water. The aerogel particles are dispersed into tiny, stable and uniform particles as a catalyst, and are not agglomerated any more in processing, and are adsorbed on the inner surface of polyurethane to form a coating layer, so that the aerogel particles are wetted, the surface free energy is reduced, the re-agglomeration is prevented, a stable structure is formed, the viscosity of a synthetic resin melt can be reduced, the dispersity of aerogel is improved, the processing performance is improved, and a product can obtain good performance. When the master batch is filled for granulation production and is extruded with the polyurethane elastomer to form a film, the air and moisture do not need to be exhausted, the aerogel polyurethane thermal insulation material product does not have air holes, the quality is not influenced when the product is further processed, and an exhaust section or an exhaust port does not need to be arranged for vacuumizing. The silica aerogel is a peripheral particle with a nano structure obtained by a sol-gel method, is composed of nano particles which are mutually connected in a porous three-dimensional silica network, has hydrophobic property, can fully impregnate a catalyst, can be used as a catalyst carrier to catalyze the synthesis of polyurethane master gel, further increases the dispersity of the aerogel, improves the chemical stability, the mechanical property and the heat preservation property, has good thermoplasticity, high strength, high elongation and good rebound resilience, and can be used for food packaging.
