About Aerohik
Aerohik GmbH is a Basel-based company for advanced insulation and aerogel solutions. The portfolio includes flexible silica aerogel insulation boards (Thermhik series) for temperature ranges from -200 °C to +1200 °C, cryogenic insulation with aluminum foil lamination, ultra-thin thermal barriers (Safehik) for battery systems, as well as aerogel powders and granulates for coatings, renders and composite materials. In addition to standard products, Aerohik supports customers with product selection, optimization of insulation thicknesses, application assessment, technical documentation (TDS/SDS) as well as custom solutions for dimensions, shapes, lamination, coating and composite structures. The products are classified, among other things, as non-combustible A1/A2 and are hydrophobic. Customer industries include construction, industrial process insulation, cryogenics/LNG, battery and e-mobility safety, energy storage, coatings and composite materials, as well as aerospace and lightweight construction. From Switzerland, Aerohik serves European and international markets.

Materials and Product Forms
Silica aerogel
Nanoporous silicon dioxide aerogel as the core material of all insulation boards, powders and granulates with very low thermal conductivity.
Ceramic fiber
Aerogel-impregnated ceramic fiber structure for ultra-high-temperature-resistant insulation boards up to 1200 °C.
Aluminum foil (lamination)
Factory-integrated foil lamination as a vapor barrier for cryogenic applications down to -200 °C.
Mineral lamination
Multi-layer mineral-laminated structure for thermal protection barriers in battery systems.
