FEDER - PEG - AEROTEX PROJECT
Kohesio
P.E.G.
The Aérotex project aims to revolutionize the field of thermal insulation for the technical clothing and building insulation sectors by developing new environmentally friendly materials with high thermal insulation performance, light, thin and flexible. To achieve this objective, the partnership will combine innovative technologies, such as silica airgel and Fibroline dry impregnation technology, with the know-how of leading insulation players and the expertise of university laboratories in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Normandy regions. The Aérotex project consortium is made up of 6 partners: PEG, Balsan, Millet, Fibroline, Enersens and Cethil. PEG is positioning itself in the project as both an expert supplier of raw materials (Polyester fiber wadding) as well as an end-user for a highly strategic field, building insulation. Integrating a collaborative innovation project will allow them to access all the technological expertise (ecological impregnation technology and Airgel insulating material) and scientific expertise (Characterization and modeling of insulators by the Cethil laboratory) to make this development a success in the Normandy region. During the project, insulation materials will be developed by optimizing fiber wadding and innovative impregnation technology. The performance of the impregnated Airgel will be analyzed and optimized to achieve the desired performance. The development of the prototypes will be done with an important point which is the resistance of the Airgel during handling and washing. Ultimately, 3 prototypes will be developed: a sleeping bag, a technical jacket and insulation for the building.
