Lower density available for AEROGUARD®, saving weight for aerospace applications

Aerospace engineering faces challenges posed by weight reduction, heat management, and innovative design. Promat’s AEROGUARD® ultra-thin, lightweight, and highly flexible microporous insulation panel has long been the preferred choice of market-leading aerospace and defense designers. Promat has now launched its lowest density version yet: AEROGUARD® 96. At 96 kg/m³, the product is setting a new standard for high-performance insulation in the aerospace and aeronautical industries.

With the introduction of AEROGUARD® 96, the industry gains access to a unique solution that not only maintains the exceptional insulation performance synonymous with the AEROGUARD® family but does so with unparalleled lightness. This groundbreaking density is a game-changer for designers and engineers striving for the delicate balance between weight reduction and fuel efficiency in applications such as nacelles, thermal batteries and reverse thrusters, as well as galley furnaces and others.

AEROGUARD® 96's significance becomes apparent when considering the industry's established correlation between a 1 kg weight reduction and fuel savings of 0.02 kg/1000 km. The density of 96 kg/m³ offers a substantial potential for fuel efficiency gains, providing a clear advantage in achieving weight reduction goals while addressing challenges related to space and temperature constraints in aircraft design. As the fifth available density in the AEROGUARD® family, AEROGUARD® 96 not only broadens the spectrum of options for designers but also opens avenues for more compact and thinner solutions, further enhancing the efficiency and adaptability of aerospace applications.

For decades, AEROGUARD® has been a benchmark when it comes to flexibility, shock resistance, vibration resistance, full traceability, and non-combustibility. Now, with the addition of AEROGUARD® 96, Promat reaffirms its commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower aerospace professionals to achieve new heights in performance and efficiency.
