Aerogel is emerging as a superior, performance-enabling fire protection material in thermal barriers designed to mitigate thermal runaway and reduce the risk of fires from occurring in lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (EV). Our ENTERA® aerogel particles are exceptional thermal insulation additives that enable formulation flexibility and can be incorporated into different types of thermal barriers, such as blankets, pads, sheets, films, foams and coatings. ENTERA® aerogel provides efficient insulation performance for cell-to-cell thermal management requirements, and its distinctive properties enable the creation of thin product forms that help mitigate thermal runaway in electric vehicles.

We offer high performance insulating plasters, a revolutionary solution for building insulation. When combining aerogel, the world’s best insulating solid with plaster, highly performing and highly insulating aerogel plaster is created. The mineral aerogel particles enable unique characteristics, setting them apart from other insulating plasters. The aerogel insulating plasters can even exceed traditional insulation boards in their thermal insulation performance. Aerogel insulating plasters perfectly combine the advantages of insulation boards with those of plaster. Beyond insulating exceptionally well, as a plaster they are very adaptable and malleable. Aerogel insulating plasters are suitable for exterior and also for interior insulation projects.

Aerogel blankets incorporate aerogel particles into ultra-thin, flexible nonwovens with superior insulating properties. Our ThermalWrap™ blanket products are available in multiple thicknesses up to 8 millimeters, and can be used as thermal insulation in buildings, apparel and industrial insulation. They are particularly well-suited for applications that require a thin product that can be easily cut, rolled and shaped on the job site. Because they offer high insulation performance even when compressed, they are especially useful as a thermal break in places that otherwise conduct heat, such as over studs and around windows.

Providing a range of properties to enable a wide range of performance enhancement. Our portfolio of conductive carbons enable battery developers to extract the highest possible efficiency out of each active material, promoting high power delivery and energy density in lithium-ion batteries as well as extending cycle life and charge acceptance in lead-acid batteries. Our conductive additives are also used in other energy storage devices such as sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries and lithium-air (Li-Air) batteries.

High-quality particulate silica aerogel enables best-in-class solutions for energy-efficient buildings and industrial infrastructure, safe-to-touch surfaces, personal care products and more.

A carbon black with very fine particle size, super high surface area with extremely high structure. For conductive or anti-static applications where other conductive carbon black products cannot meet required balance between conductivity and rubber reinforcement properties. Our BLACK PEARLS 2000, VULCAN XC-72, VULCAN P and STERLING C conductive carbon blacks are designed for rubber applications that demand conductivity with good physical properties and compound processability.
