With the aim of taking the worldwide first lignin-based bioaerogels developed by aerogel-it to the next level, aerogel-it and Fibenol have collaborated to use the Fibenol biomaterial LIGNOVA as a highly sustainable raw material. Joining forces with Fibenol has enabled aerogel-it to design a bioaerogel based on a new generation of lignin now produced by […]
Wir freuen uns sehr, mitteilen zu können, dass wir eine Förderung der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) als Teil des Green-Startup-Programms erhalten! Die DBU unterstützt unsere Mission, nachhaltige Hochleistungswärmedämmung auf Basis von Lignin zu entwickeln und in den Markt zu bringen, um so zu Energieeffizienz und Dekarbonisierung unter anderem im Gebäudesektor beizutragen. Das Team von aerogel-it […]
After 5 years, Marc and Dirk recently visited their first SLENTITE® interior insulation project to see how the polyurethane aerogel material had performed as insulation material in a historical building over this time. The owners had renovated a historical brick villa in Hamburg and had chosen to tackle several challenges with the thin SLENTITE® boards: […]
Our core team members Marc, Alberto, Raman and Dirk had two great days at the The Greener Manufacturing Show in Cologne. It is amazing to see how many companies are moving in the direction of sustainable raw materials, products, packaging and IT tools! We had interesting conversations with many of them such as traceless materials, […]
We recently wrote about SLENTITE and its use in the CUBE in Dresden. The CUBE is the worldwide first building built entirely with carbon-reinforced concrete to demonstrate the strengths of this new construction technology. Now we are happy to share that also our new biomineral silica aerogel is undergoing real-life testing in a wall section […]
We are very grateful that we could share our aerogel-it vision on lignin bioaerogels for decarbonization with the global aerogel community during the 2022 edition of the International Seminar On Aerogels at TUHH. A big thank you to the organizers for this chance! It was an excellent conference with participants from all over the world. […]
Previously, obtaining SLENTITE® in smaller quantities was difficult. As of October 2022 this changes! buyaerogel.com and aerogel-it now cooperate to bring SLENTITE® to the buyaerogel.com platform, where a large range of aerogel materials from all over the world are available. If you are interested in single SLENTITE® boards or also smaller tiles, head on over […]
We are excited to present the first superinsulating lignin aerogel – 100% bio-based and renewable! If you are interested to learn more about our aerogel come to see us at the Hamburg Innovation Summit on June 2nd in Hamburg – or contact us. Lignin is a major component of trees and responsible for their strength […]
We are happy to share that our SLENTITE PU aerogel board has been monitored in real-life use. It has shown great performance in façade, roof terrace and window connection applications. This was demonstrated in a partially carbon-reinforced concrete building by collecting sensor data over more than 12 months. Measured heat-flow data aligned well with predictions. […]
