Ceramigel-x hybrid insulation system

Overview

CeramiGel-X is a cutting-edge hybrid insulation system that integrates graphene-reinforced aerogel with a microporous ceramic matrix. This advanced material solution is engineered to provide superior thermal insulation, fire resistance, and mechanical integrity. The encapsulation of graphene-modified silica aerogel within a microporous ceramic matrix results in a thin, rigid, and fireproof insulation panel. Designed as 10 mm modular panels, CeramiGel-X is particularly suitable for retrofitting walls, ceilings, and floors, offering a robust solution for enhancing energy efficiency and safety in buildings.
