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.

In the news
- Insulation should manage heat without becoming vulnerable to moisture. In real-world applications, insulation materials can come into contact with humidity, condensation or water. That matters because moisture can affect how a material performs over time. For high-performance insulation, thermal resistance alone is not enough. The material also needs to repel water and maintain its insulating properties in demanding conditions. That is why we test the hydrophobicity of our aerogel in-house.

- A breakthrough in the lab is only the beginning. Developing an innovative material is one thing. Making it perform consistently on an industrial scale is another. Because even the most promising formulation still needs to prove itself beyond the laboratory. ✅ Can its performance be reproduced? ✅ Can production be scaled? ✅ And can it meet the demands of real-world applications? At Aerobel, that's where research meets industrialisation. From material testing and process optimisation to quality control and scalable production,
- Meet Giulia Rindoni, Researcher at Aerobel! 👋 Turning innovative materials into reliable, scalable industrial solutions takes more than great chemistry. With a background in industrial chemistry, R&D, materials testing and process optimisation, Giulia helps bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial production. At Aerobel, she focuses on product development, quality and reproducibility, making sure our sustainable insulation materials don't just perform in the lab, but can deliver consistent results at an
- Calling a material “waste-based” only explains where the process begins. The important part is what happens next. At Aerobel, selected waste streams are transformed into chemical building blocks, engineered into proprietary formulations and tested inside real material systems. Thermal performance. Strength. Consistency. Scalability. Only when those conditions align does a sustainable feedstock become a viable industrial technology. Waste is the input. Performance is the outcome.
- Lower weight is not just a number on a technical sheet. Across production, transport and application, every kilogram influences how efficiently a material can be handled and used. Aeroscreed is 25% lighter than competing systems while improving strength and replacing 100% of the cement. That combination matters. Because a material alternative only becomes commercially relevant when one improvement does not create a new compromise elsewhere.
- What if bio-based insulation could offer more than a lower environmental impact? With Polyvox, Aerobel is developing a bio-based insulation technology designed around the requirements of industrial applications: consistent performance, scalable production and competitive potential. The technology positions itself between conventional PUR and PIR insulation and natural alternatives such as hemp, flax and wood wool. De Tijd spoke with our CEO Sam Chartouni about Polyvox, Aerobel’s growing production capacity and the road from material
- 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
