Our process finally unlocks aerogels’
impact potential in otherwise
difficult-to-abate sectors.
Electric Vehicle Batteries
Battery packs that power Electric Vehicles are a key enabler to reducing the carbon footprint from road emissions. To make EV battery packs more reliable and safe, aerogels can limit the thermal runaway between cells with a high-performing insulation layer.
In addition to their outstanding thermal properties, aerogels are ultra-low density and thus lighter than many competing insulation materials. Thermulon’s aerogels are versatile and can be incorporated into a range of formulations to provide a thin insulation layer.
Built Environment
Thermulon’s aerogels can help tackle the climate and fire-safety emergencies in the built environment and beyond.
-
Our aerogels are water-vapour permeable and high-performance (thin); making them a game-changer in retrofitting the UK’s 8m solid-wall homes – many of which need insulating internally.
-
With fire-safety being an imperative, silica-based aerogels can be integrated into third-party products and deliver superior insulation performance without compromising on fire safety.
Switching from mineral wool to Thermulon in Leeds Build-to-rent development would have increased floorspace by 352 sqm, an area equivalent to 7 additional apartments.
Other applications
Thermulon’s aerogels are versatile and be used as an additive in a range of applications: paints, coatings, foams, plasters, panels and others.
With the addition of Thermulon’s aerogels, the end products can benefit from a boost in insulation performance and an improvement across other metrics (reduced weight thanks to low density, hydrophobic properties).
