Aspen Aerogels, Inc., incorporated on May 16, 2008, is an energy technology company that designs, develops and manufactures aerogel insulation used primarily in energy infrastructure facilities. The Company also performs contract research services for various federal and non-federal government agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy and other institutions. Its insulation is used by oil producers and the owners and operators of refineries, petrochemical plants, liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, power generating assets and other energy infrastructure. Its product lines include Pyrogel and Cryogel. The Company sells a line of aerogel blankets, and products in the building and construction and other end markets, including the supply of fabricated insulation parts to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). It markets and sells its products primarily through a sales force based in North America, Europe and Asia. The Company manufactures its products using a technology at its facility in East Providence, Rhode Island.
The Company's Pyrogel XT/XT-E is reinforced with a glass-fiber batting and is designed for use in high temperature systems in refineries and petrochemical facilities. Pyrogel XT's hydrophobicity and vapor permeability reduces the risk of corrosion under insulation in high temperature operating systems. Pyrogel XTF is reinforced with a glass- and silica-fiber batting. Pyrogel XTF is specially formulated to provide protection against fire. Cryogel Z is designed for sub-ambient and cryogenic applications in the energy infrastructure market. Cryogel Z is reinforced with a glass- and polyester-fiber batting and is produced with an integral vapor barrier. Cryogel Z is also specially formulated to minimize the incidence of stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel systems. Spaceloft Subsea is reinforced with glass- and polyester-fiber batting and is designed for use in pipe-in-pipe applications in offshore oil production. Spaceloft Subsea can be fabricated and pre-packaged, and allows for small profile carrier pipelines.
The Company's Spaceloft is reinforced with a glass/polyester fiber batting and is designed for use in the building and construction market. Spaceloft is either utilized in roll form by contractors in the field or fabricated by OEMs into strips, panels and systems. Cryogel X201 is similar in composition to Cryogel Z, but is produced without a vapor barrier. Cryogel X201 is designed for use in cold system designs. Cryogel X201 is targeted to OEMs that design, produce and sell refrigerated appliances, cold storage equipment and aerospace systems.
The Company competes with Cabot Corporation, Johns Mansville, Saint-Gobain, Knauf Gips, Owens Corning and Rockwool.
