Using recyclable, bio-based and biodegradable textile insulation for sustainable insulation, while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions – startup SA- Aachen-based Dynamics has developed a solution for this dream of many building owners together with industrial partners. SA-Dynamics won its second Innovation Award in the category “New Technologies in Sustainability and Recycling” at leading textile trade fairs Techtextil and Texprocess for this development.
SA-Dynamics has developed a bio-based and recyclable insulation fabric using 100% bio-aerogel fibers. These certified textiles deliver up to 90% of the air trapped in nanopores, providing insulation comparable to fossil-based materials. SA-Dynamics aims to revolutionize the construction industry by replacing fossil-based materials with bio-based alternatives.
Bio-based recyclable textile insulation consists of 100% bio-aerogel fibers. They contain up to 90% air, trapped in the nanopore system of the airgel fibers. Bio-based raw materials are sustainably sourced and certified. Insulation fabrics made from bio-aerogel fibers are said to have equivalent or even better insulation properties than fossil-based synthetic insulation materials such as PET, PE or PP and mineral wool or rock wool.
Explains: “By using bio-based airgel, we are eliminating fossil-based materials and doing something for the environment and climate.” Maximilian Mohr, chief technical officer (CTO) at SA-Dynamics. “We are therefore responding to regulatory measures by the EU and many national governments to further protect the climate and environment. By using bio-based and recyclable airgel, we I can revolutionize the world of construction. Come to Techtextil at our booth at Elmatex general booth in hall 12.0 D63 and see for yourself.”
The Techtextil and Texprocess Innovation Awards ceremony will take place on April 23, 2024 at 12:30 pm in Hall 9.0 in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.
The Aachen-based startup SA-Dynamics includes researchers from the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) and the Institute of Thermal Engineering and Industrial Furnace Construction (IOB) at RWTH Aachen University.
The bio-aerogel fibers originate from the LIGHT LINING research project of the BIOTEXFUTURE innovation area. The LIGHT LINING research project focuses on sports and outdoor textiles. Research results can be transferred to the construction field.
