Applications Across
Industries

Our wet-laid nonwoven materials serve six key industries — from hydrogen energy and aerospace to consumer heating systems. Each application draws on the same core technology: precision fiber distribution in a closed-loop wet-laid process.

Battery safety — thermal management materials for EV modules

Battery Safety

Battery systems demand materials that combine thermal management, electrical function, and mechanical resilience within extremely tight packaging constraints. Our wet-laid technology produces nonwovens tailored to the functional principles of modern energy storage — from cell-level insulation to module-level thermal barriers.

aero365 aerogel insulation papers serve as battery cell spacers and compression pads, providing thermal runaway protection at just 1–3 mm thickness with a thermal conductivity below 25 mW/mK — one of the thinnest effective barriers available for EV battery module design.

Key Applications
Battery cell spacers and compression pads Thermal runaway barriers Module-level thermal insulation Conductive layers for battery management

Electronics & 5G

Next-generation wireless infrastructure and high-frequency electronics require substrate materials with very low dielectric constants and loss factors. Our silica365 nonwovens, based on quartz and silica gel fibers, provide the electromagnetic properties needed for 5G antenna systems, high-frequency PCBs, and radar-transparent enclosures.

The wet-laid process ensures a consistent dielectric profile across the entire sheet — critical for applications where signal integrity depends on uniform material properties at GHz frequencies.

Key Applications
5G antenna substrates High-frequency PCB laminates Radome materials EMI-transparent enclosures

Electronics and 5G — high-frequency PCB and antenna substrates
Aerospace and defence — high-temperature nonwoven components

Aerospace & Defence

Aerospace and defence applications require materials that perform under extreme conditions — high temperatures, mechanical stress, and electromagnetic transparency. Our silica365 nonwovens are engineered for environments where conventional glass fibers are no longer sufficient.

With temperature stability up to 1150 °C and a very low dielectric constant, silica365 is used in radome construction, antenna systems, and electromagnetic-transparent structural components. The material is dimensionally stable at elevated temperatures and classified as non-combustible.

Key Applications
Radomes and antenna systems EM-transparent structural components High-temperature composite preforms Surfacing veils for aerospace composites

Mobility & Automotive

Modern vehicles require lightweight materials that deliver electrical conductivity, thermal management, or high-temperature sealing — often in combination. Our product lines address multiple automotive challenges: from conductive carbon fiber structures for EMI shielding to aerogel-based heat shields for exhaust and turbocharger insulation.

The wet-laid manufacturing process enables consistent material properties at automotive production volumes, with the flexibility to adjust fiber blends and areal weights to specific OEM requirements.

Key Applications
EMI shielding for vehicle electronics Heat shields (exhaust, turbocharger) High-temperature sealing gaskets Lightweight conductive composite structures

Hydrogen fuel cell — carbon fiber gas diffusion layers

Hydrogen Technology

Specialized wet-laid papers serve as electrode base materials for PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells. The homogeneous fiber distribution achieved through our wet-laid process is critical for consistent electrochemical performance across the entire active area.

Carbon fiber nonwovens from our carbon365 line function as gas diffusion layers (GDLs) and electrode substrates, delivering uniform electrical conductivity at 2–10 Ohm/sq with areal weights from 10–150 gsm — manufactured at significantly lower cost than conventional woven or felt-based alternatives.

Key Applications
PEM fuel cell gas diffusion layers Electrolyzer electrode substrates Bipolar plate components Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs)

Surface Heating

thermo365 is a carbon fiber wet-laid nonwoven engineered specifically for electric surface heating. The material converts electrical energy into homogeneous infrared heat across its entire area — no hot spots, no moving parts, no maintenance. It operates from 12 V (caravan/mobile) to 220 V (mains-powered installations).

With adjustable power output from 10 to 2,000 W/m², the system covers applications from gentle floor warming to high-output industrial heating. The rear side can be insulated with aero365 aerogel paper for maximum energy efficiency.

Key Applications
Floor, wall, and ceiling heating systems Mold protection in buildings Caravan and marine heating Lightweight composite heating panels
