Recently, Changzhou UniNano Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. has been named the "2024 Asia-Pacific Advanced Materials Solution Provider of the Year" by Manufacturing Technology Insights, a prestigious American magazine, in recognition of its significant innovative achievements in the field of energy efficiency improvement – "Elevating Energy Efficiency Quantum Leap".

As a globally authoritative publication in the field of manufacturing technology, Manufacturing Technology Insights annually recognizes enterprises or individuals that have made outstanding contributions to materials science, manufacturing processes, and other related areas. In 2021, China Jushi Group, a world-leading glass fiber manufacturer, and Tosoh Corporation, a renowned Japanese multinational company, were also recipients of this prestigious award. Changzhou UniNano Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "UniNano") has earned this honor, demonstrating its leading position in the industry and further consolidating its influence across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

UniNano's award victory is attributed to its remarkable achievements in the development and industrial production of mesoporous thermal insulation materials. The magazine stated in its original coverage: "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."

UniNano focuses on applying the unique properties of mesoporous materials to thermal insulation. By optimizing the combination of pore structures and various fibers, the company has significantly enhanced thermal insulation performance. Compared to traditional fiber-based materials such as rock wool, aluminum silicate, and glass wool, UniNano's mesoporous materials reduce heat loss by over 30% while requiring comparable investment. The company has successfully developed scalable preparation methods and environmentally friendly production processes, boasting excellent safety and eco-friendliness—making large-scale application of mesoporous materials in thermal insulation feasible. Additionally, these mesoporous thermal insulation materials exhibit outstanding flame retardancy and high hydrophobicity, and have passed a 40-year aging test, confirming their exceptional durability. In terms of cost-effectiveness, the magazine commented: "Compared to advanced materials like nano-aerogels, its mesoporous materials provide similar energy-saving benefits at a lower cost."

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.

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.(Excerpted from Manufacturing Technology Insights magazine: Uninano Advanced Materials | Top Advanced Materials Solutions Provider In Apac-2024 (manufacturingtechnologyinsights.com))
