AIRG-9030M Applications & Downstream Product Development
Product Positioning
AIRG-9030M hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel powder is a high-performance functional filler and additive designed for downstream thermal insulation material development. This product is not typically used directly as a finished insulation product, but rather as a core functional ingredient incorporated into coatings, slurries, composite felts, insulation boards, polymer composites, and other thermal insulation systems to enhance thermal insulation performance, lightweight properties, heat resistance, and moisture resistance.
Its typical characteristics include ultra-low thermal conductivity (<0.018 W/m·K), high porosity (90–95%), high specific surface area (600–800 m²/g), and excellent hydrophobic properties, making it suitable for the formulation development of a wide range of high-performance thermal insulation materials and functional composites.
Key Application Areas
1. Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Management Materials
AIRG-9030M serves as a functional thermal insulation filler for developing thermal insulation pads, thermal barrier materials, composite insulation layers, or aerogel composite felts used in electric vehicle power batteries and energy storage systems. With appropriate formulation and structural design, the material helps reduce heat transfer between cells and supports thermal safety protection design for battery systems.
Note: AIRG-9030M powder itself is not directly used as a battery pack insulation component. It typically needs to be combined with fibers, resins, adhesives, inorganic substrates, or other functional materials to form installable and processable end-use components.
2. Industrial Pipeline & Equipment Insulation Materials
AIRG-9030M can be used to prepare aerogel insulation coatings, insulation slurries, composite insulation felts, or fill-type insulation materials for application in thermal insulation systems for petrochemical pipelines, industrial equipment, storage tanks, reactors, and high/low-temperature systems.
Note: As a powder raw material, its primary role is to enhance the thermal insulation performance and lightweight characteristics of downstream insulation materials, rather than directly replacing traditional insulation wool, insulation felts, or construction-applied insulation materials.
3. Building Energy Efficiency Materials
AIRG-9030M can be used as a functional filler in building insulation coatings, insulation mortars, gypsum boards, insulation boards, composite wall materials, and energy-efficient glass-related material systems to enhance the thermal insulation performance and energy efficiency of building envelopes.
Typical development directions include:
Exterior and interior wall insulation coatings
Insulation mortars and building insulation slurries
Gypsum boards, insulation boards, and composite wall materials
Insulation filler materials in high-performance energy-efficient glass systems
Note: In building applications, AIRG-9030M typically needs to be combined with film-forming materials, inorganic cementitious materials, polymer emulsions, or other substrates.
4. Advanced Composite Materials
AIRG-9030M can be used as a nano-scale functional filler in epoxy resins, polyurethanes, silicone rubbers, engineering plastics, and other polymer systems for developing lightweight thermal insulation composites. The material helps enhance thermal insulation performance, reduce density, and improve heat resistance and functional characteristics of the composite system.
Downstream products can be further applied in:
Aerospace thermal protection systems
Automotive thermal management components
Industrial thermal insulation structural parts
High-performance sporting goods and protective equipment
Note: Actual performance depends on the resin system, addition ratio, dispersion process, and molding method.
5. High-Performance Insulation Coatings & Slurries
AIRG-9030M is suitable for preparing water-based or solvent-based aerogel insulation coatings, insulation slurries, and functional coating materials. Its fine particle size and hydrophobic properties contribute to forming a relatively uniform insulation structure in appropriate dispersion systems.
These downstream products can be used on equipment surfaces, building walls, industrial pipelines, storage tank exteriors, and other scenarios requiring thin-layer insulation.
Note: The powder itself requires formulation design, dispersion, film formation, and application process matching before it can be formed into practically applicable coating products.
6. Cryogenic & LNG Insulation Materials
AIRG-9030M can be used as a functional filler in cryogenic insulation composites for developing insulation materials suitable for liquid nitrogen, LNG storage and transportation systems, and other cryogenic engineering applications.
Note: In such applications, the aerogel powder typically needs to be combined with fiber substrates, composite film layers, bonding systems, or other cryogenic insulation materials to form insulation structures with practical mechanical strength and installation adaptability.
7. Adsorption & Environmental Functional Materials
Leveraging its high specific surface area and nanoporous structure, AIRG-9030M exhibits certain adsorption potential under specific conditions, making it suitable for functional material development or auxiliary environmental applications such as gas adsorption, pollution control materials, or composite adsorption material systems.
Note: This direction typically represents a functional development application. Actual adsorption performance requires systematic validation in conjunction with surface modification, pore structure design, target pollutant type, and test conditions.

Application Notes
AIRG-9030M is an aerogel powder raw material for downstream material development and is not typically used as a standalone end-use product directly applied to battery packs, pipelines, building walls, or LNG equipment. Its actual application performance depends on the specific formulation system, addition ratio, dispersion process, composite structure, application method, and operating environment.
For specific application scenarios, it is recommended to conduct formulation design, sample testing, and process validation based on the target product form.
