Enze Achieves Major Breakthrough in Developing Novel Thermal Insulation Material: Aerogel Coating

In 2025, aerogel began gaining public attention. Based on market research, Enze Chemical identified aerogel as a major future trend and dedicated substantial resources to researching its application in coatings, achieving significant progress. Currently, aerogel coatings deliver groundbreaking contributions to thermal insulation and energy efficiency across diverse sectors:

Building Insulation

Fire resistance and thermal retention remain paramount objectives in building insulation. Aerogel coatings not only fulfil these requirements but also significantly reduce insulation layer thickness, enhancing spatial utilisation within structures. This paves the way for safer, low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings.

Petrochemical Industry

Aerogel insulation materials redefine energy-efficient thermal protection for industrial pipelines and equipment. Their high flexibility, low thermal conductivity, exceptional hydrophobicity, ease of processing and application, and durability provide an effective solution to heat loss in petrochemical processes.

Power Plant Thermal Networks

For insulation of power plant turbine bodies and ceramic track kilns, energy-saving retrofits combining aerogel coatings with conventional insulation products deliver maximum energy savings at minimal cost. Insulating power plant thermal networks effectively protects against heat loss during pipeline transport. Their low thermal conductivity, strong hydrophobic properties, and high fire resistance significantly reduce labour and material requirements compared to traditional insulation materials.

Industrial Equipment

Aerogel insulation applied to industrial furnace bodies substantially reduces thermal energy loss while allowing for a significant reduction in insulation layer thickness. This increases the effective volume of furnace equipment without altering external dimensions. The application of aerogel coating simplifies insulation for irregularly shaped equipment and piping. It optimises furnace insulation layer design, reduces energy consumption, enhances temperature control, and eliminates heat leakage through thermal gaps.
