Overview
Aerobel is a European manufacturer transforming waste and bio-based feedstocks into next-generation adhesives, insulation, and advanced materials. The company offers products including Covalloid (waste-based adhesive binder), PolyVox (bio-based bonding technology), and TerraGel (fourth-generation aerogel), designed to outperform fossil-based alternatives while reducing CO₂ footprints.

- Meet Stefan Schmucker, the face of Aerobel in Southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As Regional Sales Manager, Stefan connects customers with our products through technical presentations, on-site demos and conversations at industry fairs. He helps them see how Aerobel’s materials perform in practice. What drew him to Aerobel? An innovative product range, a growing business and a small team that can make decisions quickly. For Stefan, it’s a chance to bring more sustainable solutions to the customers who can put them to
- How much embodied CO₂ is still hiding in your floor screed? On 30 September, Sam Chartouni will take the stage at Futurebuild's Innovation Showcase during UK Construction Week in Birmingham. His session, “Beyond Cement: Cutting Embodied CO₂ in Floor Construction”, explores how Aeroscreed, powered by Covalloid, replaces cement entirely with a waste-derived binder. Attending Futurebuild? Join us at the Innovation Showcase. 📍 NEC Birmingham | 30 September | 12:30 – 13:00

- Sustainability succeeds when it thrives in the real world. True innovation scales seamlessly, optimizes production, and delivers competitive pricing alongside top-tier performance. No trade-off between sustainability and performance. No compromise between better materials and better business. Just chemistry that works.
- Across seven technologies, one principle remains the same: transform waste and naturally abundant resources into high-performance materials. From binders that reduce or replace cement, to bio-based adhesives and next-generation insulation solutions, every technology addresses a different application. But they are all built on the same ambition. To prove that lower-impact materials do not have to mean lower performance. Seven technologies. Two material categories. One integrated approach to changing how we build, bond and
- Project Highlight #01: Isostar × Aerobel Since early 2024, Aerobel has been working closely with Isostar on the development of its Starbeads and AeroMix insulating mortars. At the heart of that collaboration is Aerobinder, our waste-based additive designed to improve both thermal performance and compressive strength. The result? Cement-bound insulation solutions reaching lambda values from 0.038 W/mK. And this isn’t a one-off project. Aerobinder is supplied to Isostar on an ongoing basis as part of a long-term collaboration
- My big dream? Making Mars habitable.” It sounds ambitious. But then again, Aerobel started with an ambition that didn’t sound particularly realistic either. Our CEO Sam Chartouni began experimenting with aerogel in a makeshift laboratory in his garage. No background as an engineer or chemist. Just an obsession with one question: Could one of the world’s best insulating materials be made sustainable, scalable and accessible for construction? Twelve months later, there was a breakthrough. Today, that idea has grown into Aerobel and a
- A bio-based adhesive should not ask you to compromise on performance. For decades, high-performance bonding has largely depended on established chemistries such as polyurethane and epoxy. The challenge is not simply to replace those materials with something more sustainable. It is to develop an alternative that can compete where it matters most: in demanding, real-world applications. That is the ambition behind Polyvox, Aerobel’s 100% bio-based bonding technology. Discover more about Polyvox, which will be available soon, via
