Questions
Everything you need to know about aerogel insulation, our products, ordering, and technical specifications.
General
Aerogel is an advanced material known for its very low thermal conductivity, lightweight structure and high performance potential. It can be produced in different forms and used in industrial, construction, energy, cryogenic, battery safety, coating, composite and special engineering applications.
Aerohik is a Switzerland-based aerogel and advanced material solutions company. We provide aerogel blankets, thin thermal barriers, aerogel powders, aerogel granules and project-based technical solutions for industrial, construction, cryogenic, energy, battery safety and special engineering applications.
For standard products and project-based solutions, you can contact us directly. After the suitable product, quantity, delivery method and technical requirements are clarified, products can be supplied from our warehouse in Basel or through the planned delivery model according to the relevant sourcing or production process.
Products and Applications
Our main product groups include:
- Thermhik aerogel blanket products
- Cryogenic and high-temperature thermal solutions
- Thin thermal barriers and composite protection solutions for battery systems
- Powderhik aerogel powder products
- Granulhik aerogel granule products
- Project-based custom dimensions, lamination, coating and composite structure solutions
Thermhik products can be used in many applications such as pipelines, tanks, boilers, industrial equipment, building renovation, facade and wall applications, cryogenic lines and high-temperature thermal protection. The right product is selected according to application temperature, surface type, thickness requirement and project conditions.
Yes. We work on thin, lightweight and project-adaptable aerogel-based composite solutions for battery packs, energy storage systems, inter-cell thermal barriers, electrical insulation and thermal runaway risk management.
Powderhik can be evaluated for paints, coatings, plasters, composites and special additive applications. Granulhik can be used for cavity filling, panels, composites, profile filling and special thermal applications. Suitability should be evaluated together with the application method and binder system.
Temperature ranges vary by product group. Thermhik CT is positioned for cryogenic and low-temperature applications, Thermhik ST and HT for standard and high-temperature applications, and Thermhik UT for higher temperature classes. Exact values are stated in the relevant product TDS.
Fire behaviour and classification vary by product group. Some Thermhik products have A1 or A2 fire classification. The fire classification and suitability of the selected product should be evaluated according to the relevant TDS, test report and project requirements.
Many aerogel products have a hydrophobic structure and help reduce water absorption. However, application conditions, coating system, mechanical protection and installation details affect performance. System integrity should be evaluated especially for industrial lines and outdoor applications.
Technical and Project Support
The right product depends on temperature range, space limitations, fire requirements, mechanical strength, moisture or condensation risk, installation method and project goals. When you share your project details, we can support you in identifying the suitable product group and technical approach.
Yes. TDS files and available technical documentation can be shared for our products. If additional technical information, samples, test reports or application evaluation are required for a specific project, these can be reviewed separately.
Yes. Depending on the project need, custom dimensions, thicknesses, forms, laminations, coatings or composite structure options can be evaluated. These studies are clarified according to the product group, minimum production conditions, technical feasibility and delivery time.
Yes. Samples can be provided for suitable projects. Sample type, quantity, pricing and delivery time depend on the product group and current stock availability.
Ordering and Partnership
To request a quote, please share the product, application area, required thickness, approximate quantity, delivery country and any technical requirements. With this information, the suitable product and pricing can be prepared more accurately.
Minimum order quantity may vary depending on the product group, stock availability and special production requirements. Standard products may allow more flexibility, while custom dimensions or special structures may require minimum production quantities.
Delivery times depend on the product group, stock availability, order quantity, special production requirements and delivery location. Products in stock can be shipped faster; lead times for custom production are shared separately.
Yes. Regional sales, project-based cooperation, technical application partnerships and distribution models can be evaluated. Interested companies can contact us to discuss the market, product group and business model.
Based in Basel, Aerohik serves European and international markets. The suitable sourcing and logistics model is evaluated according to the project location, product type, delivery requirements and technical needs.
