Super insulation with silica aerogel

ENERSENS relies on vacuum technology for increased output.

It is one of the best insulating materials: silica aerogel originally developed from space research. Its main advantages consist of high thermal insulation combined with low density. In the meantime, other industries are also benefiting from the super insulation – and thus from increased energy efficiency, fire safety and thermal protection. The French start-up ENERSENS specializes in high performance insulation products based on aerogel materials. Thanks to the connected vacuum technology, the company increased the output of silica aerogel by 60 %.
