In the quest to curb global energy consumption and its consequential carbon emissions, mesoporous materials have been pivotal. These cutting-edge materials, engineered with finely tuned pore structures, represent a quantum leap in energy efficiency technology.

At the forefront of this transformative technology is UniNano Advanced Materials, an enterprise specializing in industrializing mesoporous thermal insulation materials. Harnessing their unique properties, UniNano is setting new standards in sustainable practices with significant improvements in heat retention and energy savings.

The company developed and industrialized diverse mesoporous materials with optimized pore structures, combining them with different fibers for enhanced thermal insulation. It achieves more than a 30 percent reduction in heat loss, surpassing traditional fiber-based materials like rock wool, aluminum silicate, and glass wool, which often suffer from inadequate thermal performance, energy efficiency and durability.

UniNano prioritizes cost-effectiveness. Compared to advanced materials like nano-aerogels, its mesoporous materials provide similar energy-saving benefits at a lower cost. It furthered its impact by developing scalable preparation methods, cost-effective production techniques, and environmentally friendly processes to enable large-scale application of mesoporous materials in thermal insulation. Produced using a green, water-based synthesis approach, these flame-retardant materials with low combustion calorific value and high hydrophobicity ensure environmental friendliness and safety across diverse applications. Tested through rigorous, 40-year aging experiments, UniNano’s mesoporous composite insulation materials boast exceptional durability and use about 50 percent less space compared to conventional options.

Delivering outstanding insulation, fire resistance, and waterproofing, its flagship mesoporous insulation series enhances energy efficiency with reduced material usage and extended service life.

Engineered for temperatures exceeding 150 °C, these materials find wide application in pipelines, industrial equipment and various facilities, demonstrating success in thermal power, chemical production, steel manufacturing, and other industries with over 500 implementations.

Over the years, UniNano has scripted many success stories, but the transformation at Henan Energy stands out. Faced with an outdated steam pipe insulation system covering 660 meters of piping with a DN 350 diameter and an 11.5-meter-high corridor, Henan Energy initially used 250mm aluminum silicate insulation. This setup resulted in high heat loss (406.9 W/m), a surface temperature of 47.8°C, and a temperature drop of 9.5 to 17°C.

UniNano’s retrofit solution introduced its advanced mesoporous composite material, reducing the insulation thickness to 200mm. This upgrade significantly improved performance: heat loss dropped to 251.7 W/m, surface temperature fell to 39.6°C, and temperature drop was reduced to 5°C.

The retrofit brought substantial benefits—surface temperatures decreased by over 10°C, the temperature drop narrowed by more than 4.5°C, and the project achieved an annual steam saving of 79,200 tons, reducing energy usage and carbon dioxide emissions. The mesoporous material also proved easy to install, dismantle, and reuse, showcasing UniNano’s ability to provide cost-effective, high-performance insulation solutions with wide-ranging applications.

UniNano specializes in continuous research and development to innovate mesoporous materials with diverse pore structures and composite configurations, including fibers, plates, coatings and specialized components. It integrates these materials with polymer and inorganic substances like cement and gypsum, meeting various application needs.

Dedicated to advancing new materials and refining production processes, the company aims to enhance efficiency, equipment utilization, and overall capacity. It actively engages in industry collaborations and technical exchanges, sharing and absorbing cutting-edge technologies and market insights to foster ongoing innovation.

Through rigorous market research and customer analysis, UniNano develops customized solutions that meet specific industry demands, ensuring its products align closely with customer requirements while promoting sustainability and operational efficiency.

Driven by a commitment to global sustainability, UniNano prioritizes R&D to ensure its industrialization processes are environmentally responsible and contribute to a sustainable future.
