In modern industries such as aerospace, EV battery manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, and heavy metallurgy, thermal management is often the deciding factor between success and catastrophic failure. Incorrect material specification can lead to energy wastage, equipment overheating, battery thermal runaway, or severe safety incidents.
As your trusted thermal management experts, AIMRSE provides a comprehensive matrix of materials—ranging from super-insulators such as aerogels and vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) to high-efficiency conductors, including aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic substrates and thermal fillers.
Selecting the right product is a multidimensional challenge that requires balancing parameters such as thermal conductivity (k-value), specific heat capacity, dielectric strength, and mechanical durability. This guide is designed to help engineers and procurement specialists streamline their decision-making process and identify the ideal products for their specific needs.
Select primary insulation layer according to operating temperature.

Selecting the right material for corrosive environments requires understanding how each raw material family interacts with acids, alkalis, and solvents. The table below compares the intrinsic chemical resistance of AIMRSE's core material families. Ratings are based on standard testing and field experience.
| Material | Acid Resistance (HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃) |
Alkali Resistance (NaOH, KOH) |
Solvent / Hydrolysis Resistance | Application Notes & Limitations | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silica Aerogel (SiO₂) | Good (pH 3–9) | Moderate | Hydrophobic version resists moisture | Attacked by strong alkali (>10% NaOH) and HF. Hydrophobic treatment improves moisture resistance. Suitable for most industrial flue gases. | |
| Aluminosilicate Ceramic Fiber | Good (except HF) | Poor | Excellent (inorganic) | Rapid degradation in concentrated NaOH/KOH. Resistant to all acids except HF. Not for use in direct contact with molten alkali. | |
| Polycrystalline Alumina Fiber (Al₂O₃) | Excellent | Moderate | Excellent | High purity alumina withstands most acids except hot concentrated phosphoric. Alkali attack above 600°C. Ideal for high-temp oxidizing environments. | |
| Hollow Glass Microspheres | Excellent (most acids) | Good (weak alkali) | Excellent | Surface etching in strong alkali (pH>10). Encapsulation in polymer (syntactic foam) provides full protection. Used in deep-sea buoyancy. | |
| Aluminum Nitride Ceramic | Good (dilute acids) | Moderate | Excellent (inorganic) | Hydrolyzes in hot water (>80°C) – forms ammonia. Avoid prolonged exposure to alkaline solutions. Superior thermal conductivity but requires moisture protection. | |
| Alumina Ceramic | Excellent | Good (weak alkali) | Excellent | Virtually inert to all chemicals except HF and hot phosphoric acid. Preferred for semiconductor and chemical equipment. | |
| Zirconia Ceramic | Excellent | Moderate | Excellent | Resists most acids, but can degrade in hydrothermal environments (low-temperature aging). Avoid concentrated alkali at high temperature. | |
| Boron Nitride Powder | Good (dilute acids) | Poor (strong alkali) | Resists most solvents | Hydrolyzes slowly in water. Strong alkali converts BN to borates. Excellent lubricity and thermal conductivity. | |
