Aspen Aerogels provides high-performance heat shielding solutions for trucks, autos, off-road vehicles, and aerospace vehicles.
Our strong, durable, flexible aerogel blanket insulation meets the unique needs of vehicle manufacturers with breakthrough benefits:
- Two to eight times the insulation value for the same thickness compared to traditional materials.
- Extremely thin profile, which increases internal volume within tight vehicle spaces.
- Consistent, high insulating effectiveness for the life of the vehicle.
- Continuous-use temperatures better than polymer-based insulation.
- Easy fabrication - die-cutting, laminating, composite layering, and other options.
- Light weight for aerospace applications.

Transportation heat shielding demands low thermal conductivity in tight spaces. Aspen Aerogels' nanotechnology-enabled aerogel blanket insulation outperforms other insulation in a variety of applications:
Firewalls: Aerogel's unique combination of temperature control, fire resistance, and acoustics makes it an ideal insulation material for firewall applications.
Underhood or Cab Liners: Aerogel creates an exceptional thermal barrier to manage top-side touch temperatures and reduce solar loading.
Hot Spot Management: Flexible aerogel blankets are perfect for thermal shielding to control local hot spots in the engine compartment.
Battery Housings: Aerogel's exceptional thermal insulation can protect batteries from extreme temperature fluctuations, leading to improved performance and battery life.
Diesel Particulate Filter Systems: Aerogel maintains necessary diesel exhaust temperatures inside the filter and reduces exhaust pipe touch temperature.

CASE STUDY: Bus Thermal Shielding
Shielding of bus rear engine compartment to decrease cabin interior temperature.

Aspen Aerogels' flexible, high-performance aerogel blanket insulation is an ideal choice for this application.
|
 |
Aerogel blanket is cut into any shape and encapsulated between two metailized polyester foils. Total thickness is 8mm, compared to 30mm of previous insulation.
|
 |
Pieces are easily installed with rivets in high temperature zones of engine compartment, especially in the turbo area.
|
 |
Thickness savings of 22mm with aerogel insulation clearly valuable in tightly assembled engine compartment.
