Where Aerogel Makes a Difference

Industry
Applications

From electric vehicle thermal management to heritage building retrofit — our aerogel products solve real-world thermal challenges across the most demanding industries.

01
Electric Vehicles & Battery Energy Storage

The global EV market demands battery systems that are simultaneously energy-dense, safe, and long-lasting. Thermal runaway — a cascade reaction where a single cell failure triggers adjacent cells — represents the foremost safety risk. Our aerogel battery insulation pads act as firewall separators between cells and between modules, limiting heat transfer to ≤ 0.025 W/m·K even under instantaneous temperatures exceeding 1000 °C.

Beyond safety, aerogel powder incorporated into thermal interface materials helps maintain optimal operating temperature ranges, extending cycle life and improving fast-charging performance. For grid-scale BESS installations, our fiber blankets provide environmental insulation for outdoor container batteries in both hot and cold climates.

Building & Construction

Buildings account for approximately 40% of global energy consumption, with poorly insulated envelopes being a primary contributor. Our aerogel solutions address two key challenges: thin-wall insulation for urban apartments where space is at a premium, and historic building retrofits where adding thick insulation would alter the architectural character.

The AT-C insulation coating can be applied directly to interior walls at 5–10 mm, delivering thermal resistance equivalent to 30–50 mm of conventional insulation. The fiber blanket is ideal for insulated metal cladding and curtain wall systems. Both products are vapor-permeable, eliminating interstitial condensation risks.

Oil, Gas & Petrochemical

Industrial pipelines, reactors, and distillation columns operate at extreme temperatures and in aggressive environments. Conventional insulation at these temperatures requires large cross-sections, adding significant weight and cost to piping systems. AeroTech's fiber blanket performs reliably up to 650 °C, reducing insulation thickness by up to 80% compared to calcium silicate while maintaining equivalent energy conservation.

The hydrophobic surface treatment resists moisture ingress in outdoor and underground applications — a critical factor in preventing corrosion under insulation (CUI), one of the industry's most costly maintenance issues.

Transportation & Rail

Weight reduction is a critical design parameter for rail, aerospace, and marine transportation. At densities of 100–200 kg/m³, aerogel blankets weigh 60–80% less than equivalent mineral wool or calcium silicate systems for the same thermal performance.

Aerogel fire wraps for structural steel elements in passenger rail and marine vessels provide fire resistance while keeping overall system weight low. The coating is suitable for pipe and bulkhead anti-sweat treatment on refrigerated transport.

Cryogenic & LNG

Storing and transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) at -162 °C places extreme demands on insulation systems. Silica aerogel powder, with its ability to perform down to -200 °C, is one of the few solid insulation materials effective across this entire temperature range.

AeroTech powders are used as filler in multilayer insulation and vacuum insulated panels for LNG storage tanks, hydrogen storage vessels, and cryogenic transfer lines.

Specialty & Emerging Uses

The nano-porous structure and extremely low density of aerogel make it attractive in multiple emerging applications: acoustic insulation panels, thermal management textiles for outdoor apparel and protective clothing, aerospace thermal shielding, and next-generation vacuum insulated packaging for pharmaceutical cold chain logistics.
