Problem
Thermal management and insulation challenges in electric vehicle batteries, energy‑efficient buildings, and high‑performance aerospace systems often require bulky, heavy materials that limit design flexibility, increase weight, and raise safety risks.
Solution
Westwood Aerogel provides aerogel‑based thermal insulation products that combine ultra‑low density with high thermal resistance. Their flagship ZeroTherm composite sheets act as fire‑resistant barriers for EV battery packs, enhancing safety and extending range. In addition, they offer bulk aerogel powders—both uncoated for general insulation filling and coated for integration into polymer or ceramic composites—to enable lightweight, high‑performance insulation across construction, aerospace, and advanced material applications. The products are manufactured on a scalable platform that emphasizes sustainability and cost‑effectiveness, allowing customers to replace traditional insulation with thinner, lighter solutions without compromising thermal performance.
Target Audience
Primary customers include electric vehicle battery manufacturers, building developers seeking high‑performance insulation, aerospace engineers, and composite material producers requiring lightweight thermal solutions.
