Advanced
The Advanced segment is dedicated to customers developing technically advanced products across multiple industries, where innovation, precision, and material performance are critical. Thanks to Naerogel’s flexible and versatile properties, it enables next-generation solutions for demanding applications where functional performance makes a measurable difference.
Innovative applications across multiple industries
- Thermal insulation – Enhancing fibers, textiles, and composite structures with superior thermal performance and heat management capabilities.
- Thermal signature reduction – Reducing infrared radiation emitted by objects by improving insulation efficiency, thereby lowering detectability by thermal imaging systems in defense and security applications.
- Controlled release systems – Enabling controlled and gradual release of active substances in coatings, cosmetics, life sciences, and specialty chemical formulations.
- Filtration and sorption – Supporting advanced separation, purification, adsorption, and moisture management in air, gas, and liquid filtration systems.
Thermal insulation in textiles
Thanks to Naerogel’s high porosity, optimized particle size distribution, and excellent insulating capabilities, it is ideally suited for improving the thermal performance of textiles and fibers. When combined with flame-retardant materials, Naerogel also contributes to enhanced fire resistance and safety performance.
This enables a wide range of applications:
- Fillings for quilts, pillows, sleeping bags, jackets, gloves, and footwear
- Protective clothing for emergency response and industrial personnel
- Technical textiles for outdoor, defense, and performance apparel
- Lightweight insulation solutions for transportation and aerospace applications
Thermal & Infrared signature reduction
Naerogel enhances the thermal performance of technical and performance textiles while also improving matte and flame-retardant properties in various surface coatings. By reducing heat transfer, Naerogel can lower the thermal signature — the infrared radiation emitted by an object — thereby reducing detectability by thermal imaging systems in demanding operational environments.
Applications include:
- Enhanced thermal insulation and infrared signature management for equipment and uniforms
- Camouflage solutions for military textiles and protective systems
- Thermal signature reduction for vehicles, aircraft, and naval platforms
- Advanced coating systems for defense and security applications
Encapsulation & Controlled Release
Naerogel serves as an effective carrier material for encapsulation and controlled release applications. Svenska Aerogel’s patented process enables active substances to be incorporated within Naerogel’s porous structure, allowing for gradual and controlled release over time.
This enables lower concentrations of active substances while maintaining long-term functionality and performance, supporting more sustainable and efficient formulations.
Particularly beneficial for:
- Protective surface treatments, such as SeaQare antifouling technologies
- Medical technology and pharmaceutical delivery systems
- Life sciences and specialty chemical formulations
- Functional coatings with long-term active performance
- Agricultural and industrial controlled-release applications
Superior sorption & surface control
With a high surface area and tunable porosity, and the ability to be doped with various active, Naerogel can be used as a highly effective sorbent, including:
- Moisture and gas adsorption
- Pollutant and contaminant removal
