- In September 2024, Armacell, a global leader in flexible foam and engineered insulation materials, announced the accelerated launch of a new advanced aerogel technology. This strategic move followed the operational disruption at its Cheonan, South Korea plant on 7 September 2024. By fast-tracking the expansion of its aerogel-based ArmaGel portfolio, Armacell aims to reinforce supply continuity and strengthen its position in the high-performance insulation segment. The launch is expected to boost innovation and competition in the pyrogel insulation market, offering customers enhanced thermal solutions amid growing demand for energy efficiency and space-saving insulation materials
- In June 2023, Aspen Aerogels inaugurated its 59,000-square-foot Advanced Thermal Barrier Center (ATBC) in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This cutting-edge facility serves as the engineering and prototyping hub for the company’s PyroThin cell-to-cell barriers, which are critical in improving the safety and thermal performance of battery packs used in eMobility and energy storage systems (ESS). The opening of ATBC is anticipated to significantly influence the pyrogel insulation market by accelerating the development of next-generation aerogel technologies, especially in the context of electrification and thermal management in emerging sectors
