Bioaerogels
Back to Products
Our bioaerogels are based on non-food biomass and side streams from agriculture, forestry and marine environments.
Due to the green raw material base and our energy-efficient manufacturing technologe we expect a low carbon-dioxide footprint.
Our products are patent-protected.
Lignin bioaerogel AKL
Application: Thermal superinsulation
Typical product properties of our lignin bioaerogel:
Particle size: 1-2 mm (tunable)
Density: 50-150 kg/m³ (tunable)
Thermal conductivity: 0.021-0.023 W/(m*K) (at 10°C, particle bed)
Surface area: 250-350 m²/g
Pore volume (< 100 nm): 1.9 cm³/g
Porosity: >90%
Hydrophilic (hydrophobic grades in development)
Lignin bioaerogel AKL - compressed boards
Application: Thermal superinsulation
Our lignin bioaerogel can be milled and compressed into shapes such as boards.
In the lab, we have achieved a record-breaking thermal conductivity:
0.017 W/(m*K).
Bioaerogel WH3 and others
Application: Carrier and release
We have developed various 100% bio-based aerogel materials such as Bioaerogel WH3 that are able to take up extremely large quantities of liquids. They are particularly useful as carrier and release materials.
Due to the fine pore structure the liquid is not released under mechanical pressure. Liquids can be handled and dosed like solids.
Currently, the materials is still under development. They are available at lab scale and soon at pilot scale.
Bioaerogel CSA and others
Application: Rheology modification
Mesoporous materials such as silica aerogel powders show strong rheology modification of various aqueous and non-aqueous phases. Rheology modifiers are for example relevant for coatings or cosmetics formulations.
We have developed 100% bio-based aerogel materials such as Bioaerogel CSA that enable rheology modification of aqueous and non-aqueous phases.
Currently, the materials is still under development. They are available at lab scale and soon at pilot scale.
