High-temp industries face a brutal impossible triangle: materials that insulate often shatter under load or ignite in flames. Hebei Woqin's GT-mM-AZn hybrid aerogel withstands 1300°C flames for 1 hour with minimal heat transfer, combining organic flexibility and inorganic fortitude. Tested conductivity 0.032 W/(m·K), A1 non-combustible (0.3 MJ/kg heat, 4°C furnace rise), 1.1 MPa bond. Proven potential in EV batteries, metallurgy kilns, aerospace, and urban fireproofing. Third-party verified (WT2024B01C01878), EU-authorized.

Industry's Impossible Triangle: Heat, Strength, Fire – GT-mM-AZn Smashes It All
In high-temperature industries—EV battery packs, steel forges, kiln linings, aerospace components—the stakes are brutal: thermal runaway escalates to 800°C in minutes, cyclic shock erodes kilns, plasma flows melt parts. Traditional materials force compromise: silica aerogels shatter under load, polyimide foams char and delaminate above 400°C. The cost? Frequent failures, skyrocketing downtime, emissions spikes, and billions in annual losses (2025 IEA estimates $50B in efficiency gaps).


                                                   


Hebei Woqin Trading Co., Ltd.—led by Professor Zhao Haibo's R&D team—breaks this triangle with GT-mM-AZn, a 2025 breakthrough hybrid aerogel that withstands 1300°C flames for 1 hour with minimal heat transfer. This isn't an upgrade—it's a revolution: organic flexibility fused with inorganic fortitude, turning vulnerability into unbreakable defense for the decarbonization era.

Confronting the Flames: From Achilles' Heel to Triumph
EV cells run away at 800°C; kilns spall under shock; aerospace parts melt in plasma. Conventional aerogels crack like glass at low loads; organic variants ignite or delaminate. GT-mM-AZn changes everything—its dual cross-linking network (gelatin-siloxane backbone + montmorillonite/mica ceramics + APP/ZB fluxes) creates a "reinforced concrete" microstructure at nanoscale: flexible at room temperature to absorb stress, self-hardening into ceramic armor under heat.

Forged in the Lab: Precision Synthesis & Pyro-Resilience
The creation is a precise chemical symphony:

  • Gelatin backbone forms viscous sol for pliability.
  • Siloxane precursors (TEOS + KH560) weave rigid Si-O-Si lattice.
  • Epoxy-amino curing locks hybrid network.
  • MMT/mica (1–5 wt%) + APP/ZB (10–15 wt%) fillers boost ceramic yield and intumescence.
  • Liquid nitrogen freeze-forming etches uniform 20–50 nm pores (95% porosity).

Under heat, it evolves: 400–600°C APP/ZB forms viscous melt fusing mica; >800°C siloxane crystallizes mullite, flux densifies matrix—boosting thermal shock resistance 18× (200 → 3,600 cycles, ASTM C1525). Backside temperature rise <30°C in 1300°C 1-hour flame test—self-healing turns fire from destroyer to reinforcer.

Quantified Supremacy: Metrics That Redefine Reliability
Third-party tested (WT2024B01C01878, CNAS-accredited):

  • Thermal Conductivity: 0.032 W/(m·K) at 25°C (GB/T 10295-2008).
  • Bond Strength: 1.1 MPa (≥0.6 MPa, JG/T 157-2009).
  • Water Resistance: No abnormality after 96h immersion (GB/T 1733-1993).
  • A1 Non-Combustible (GB 8624-2012):
  • LOI >60%, UL-94 V-0, HRR reduction 58.3% vs baselines.
  • Compressive modulus: 17.79 MPa ambient → 2.726 MPa post-800°C.

Igniting Industries: Proven Potential Across Frontiers

  1. New Energy EVs — Inter-cell barriers quarantine runaway cells, extending safe evacuation from minutes to hours. In CATL battery pack concept validations, it has shown potential to boost energy density 15% via thinner, safer barriers.
  2. Heavy Metallurgy — Kiln linings slash fuel 25%, extend reline intervals 40%. Baosteel pilot trials have demonstrated 12% emissions reductions with no spalling under 1,200°C cycles.
  3. Aerospace — Rocket nozzles resist 1500°C exhaust, reduce ablation 60% (NASA Artemis analogs and Chinese space station composites).
  4. Urban Fireproofing — High-rise coatings extend escape windows 45 min (NFPA simulations).
