Low-cost alternative to conventional petroleum-derived insulation developed by Thermulon. The process uses silica-based aerogels that are lightweight, possess exceptional thermal insulation properties, and feature inorganic backbones that limit combustibility, making them safer for use in high-temperature environments. Their versatility allows them to be used in a variety of applications, including insulating batts, panels, and other products. Thermulon's technology utilizes the most affordable silica precursors, solvents, and active reagents, ensuring cost-effective manufacturing and price stability. The key process units operate using a continuous flow reactor at low temperatures and pressure, further enhancing efficiency and affordability.
