DRIVING INNOVATION IN VEHICLES WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY

As car and truck manufacturers strive to deliver improved performance, comfort, and safety
within ever more fuel- and space-efficient vehicles, underhood temperatures have soared.
This has increased requirements for heat shielding and thermal management to the point where
the traditional insulation solutions can no longer cope. Aspen Aerogels’ line of high-performance,
flexible blankets can offer vehicle manufacturers distinct advantages for thermal management:

Achieve 2-8 times the insulation value for the same thickness compared to traditional materials
Increase internal volume within the same external dimensions
No degradation of thermal values over time
Easy installation
Continuous use temperatures polymer-based insulation can’t touch
Lower installed cost for the vehicle manufacturer; lower cost of ownership for the vehicle buyer

Battery Housings — with temperature control between 15°-45° C Aspen Aerogels means
extending battery life significantly.

Firewalls — the combination of temperature control, fire resistance and acoustics makes Aspen Aerogels' products the material of choice in firewall applications.

Aspen Aerogels can help with the highest
thermal performance insulation requiring
relatively low volumes.

Hot Spot Management — the flexible nature of the Aspen Aerogels are perfect for designing
thermal bandages or patches to control local hotspots in the engine compartment.

Underhood Liners — in combination with other materials Aspen Aerogels offers exceptional
thermal insulation to manage top side touch temperatures.

Demanding Thermal Areas — from insulating side curtains for chilled food protection to
maintaining diesel exhaust temperatures in diesel particulate filter systems, Aspen Aerogels
can help with the highest thermal performance insulation requiring relatively low volumes.

From insulating side curtains for
chilled food protection to maintaining
diesel exhaust temperatures in diesel
particulate filter systems, Aspen Aerogels provides thermal insulation solutions for a wide range of challenging transportation opportunities. Aspen Aerogels’ robust blankets allow for flexible thermal insulation design where space is at a premium and energy conservation is a must.
