2 The Product Svenska Aerogel has the cuttingedge technology to revolutionize the market with commercially viable applications for longterm use and a sustainable future. Cost-effective Environmentally Friendly Successful Cooperation Svenska Aerogel has managed to do what the entire aerogel industry desires, to develop and patent a method that will reduce the production cost by roughly 90 percent. Svenska Aerogel has ongoing collaborations with leading industrial companies to develop products with extraordinary properties at a competitive price. is completely environmentally friendly, which makes it extremely interesting for the future of the world. Scientists predict that in 2050, aerogel will be as common and widely used as plastics are today and believe it will play a big role in solving the climate problems of tomorrow. Svenska Aerogel has been classified as a Climate Solver by the WWF for its potential to dramatically influence the overall insulation market and contribute to global energy savings and reduction of CO 2 emissions. Svenska Aerogel is a development partner and material supplier that in close cooperation with its customers develops cutting-edge applications of. With our patented production process it is possible to create a number of different commercial products. Some interesting product areas are insulation, filtration, dehumidification and paint. Our approach to attain success is to collaborate with our industrial and academic partners.

3 A variety of application areas In applications like insulation, dehumidification and filtration, the material can help improving your product. offers a number of advantageous properties, both technical and commercial. Insulation The most interesting of several possible application areas for is insulation. has excellent insulation properties, i.e. up to three times better insulation capacity than existing products on the market today. Even though exposed to high temperatures the material will never burn. This means that is perfectly suitable for drastically improving the insulation properties of most of the existing insulation materials on the market. Early testing indicates that can improve properties and add value in a number of different ways to the gypsum board products. The porous and light-weight structure of makes it very suitable as an additive in light-weight Gypsum boards. The inorganic and amorphous character also assures that it does not burn and is environmentally safe. In collaboration with our partners we can develop new improved gypsum products that are economically viable. Gypsum Board Paint & Coatings can be used in paints and coatings as a thixotroping or an anti-settling agent to control rheological characteristics. It can also be used as a filler material and help in the prevention of rust and corrosion. Another interesting aspect of is the excellent insulation capacity. This quality can also be utilized in paints to make it possible to add insulation to different surfaces.

4 Enhance your product with Dehumidification Preliminary testing shows that absorbs humidity better than a normal silica gel and releases water twice as fast. In collaboration with our partners we can develop products that easily and economically control indoor humidity and temperature, utilize direct or indirect evaporative cooling for indoor comfort and at the same time provide energy recovery and environmental protection. The porous structure and high internal surface of the material is important for molecular filtration of gases and liquids. Considering the great need for clean air, the development of better filters will be necessary. Filtration With you can easily dope the porous material with different chemicals to meet any of your demands concerning molecular filtration. Thereby you can easily tailor make your product to capture almost any chemical pollutant. More application areas There are numerous other interesting areas where can be used. For example as an additive to modify the rheology or improve properties such as fire and/or frost resistance of concrete or to add volume and improve surface properties of paper in the pulp and paper industry. The ability to bind different materials into the makes it suitable as a catalytic carrier in fuel cells or as a substance carrier in pharmaceuticals. The great flexibility of the production process makes it possible for us to customize the material for all these different areas.
