We enable the net-zero transition with super-insulating materials: Aerogels.
Thermulon’s aerogels are nanoporous, silica-based materials that have super-insulating properties.
The next generation of aerogel products
Our aerogels come in powders and granules. This versatility unlocks a variety of applications in insulating batts, blankets, panels and other products.
Our partners are radical innovators in construction and EV battery technology whose products benefit from aerogels’ super-insulating properties, good fire performance and low density.
Thermulon-based products can reach thermal conductivity of λ~20mW/mK: equivalent to plastics-based products. Unlike petroleum-derived insulation, silica-based aerogels have an inorganic material backbone and can achieve a fire-rating suitable for use in high-risk settings (limited combustibility).
Thermulon’s technological advantage
Thermulon produces aerogels using a novel, proprietary chemical process. We have integrated the latest breakthroughs in aerogel processing technology with scalable industrial techniques to enable high-throughput and affordable manufacturing. Our competitive advantage lies in the use of low-cost precursors, ambient-pressure processing and continuous-flow reactor technology.
-
Thermulon uses the cheapest available silica precursors, solvents and active reagents available in order to ensure affordable manufacturing and price stability. Initial proof-of-concept studies have also shown the feasibility of producing the materials from waste silica sources.
-
Where the first generation of aerogel technology utilises high-cost, high-pressure supercritical reactors, all of Thermulon’s key process units are operated at low temperature and pressure, further ensuring affordable and scalable production.
-
Thermulon’s key differentiator is its use of a fully continuous end-to-end production process. Facilitated by novel & emerging reactor technologies, it allows for superior process-control, low downtime and optimised production capacity.
