Westwood Aerogel uses a proprietary manufacturing method that maintains the balance of properties in aerogels while drastically reducing costs

Starting solution

Gel slowly pouring from a cylindrical recipient into two small molds atop a dark tray

Cast into molds

Two molds forming the desired aerogel shape, inside a big tray on top of a wide darker tray

Solving exchanges​

Two molded gels heating inside a big tray on top of a wide darker tray

Ambiently dry in control atmosphere

Three molded aerogels cooling inside a large recipient on top of a wide darker tray that also has an already cooled aerogel

We are committed to making aerogels accessible and practical for industrial-scale applications

Our patented drying process eliminates the need for costly specialized equipment, offering an efficient and repeatable production method

Scalable, low-cost aerogel production

Manufacturing

Breakthrough dries aerogels in a dehumidification process that resembles paper drying

Process
