Seeking: Advanced Thermal Insulation Materials for Building Envelopes

A well-established player in the construction materials sector is seeking a partnership with a capable collaborator who can develop advanced insulation technologies with high R-value per inch and Class A fire performance, specifically engineered to optimize insulation in space-constrained areas within existing buildings.

What we're looking for: 

The ideal partner would possess expertise in developing innovative insulation materials that significantly outperform conventional options in terms of thermal resistance and fire safety. They should have a strong background in materials science, particularly in areas such as aerogel composites, nanostructured foams, or advanced polymer technologies.

Must-have requirements are:

  • Achieves an R-value of 7 or greater per inch
  • Meets Class A fire ratings per both UL790 and ASTM E84

Nice-to-have requirements are:

  • Meets ASTM E136 non-combustibility standard
