Since the discovery of nanoporous materials (aerogel) in 1931, there is no doubt that this material is classified as a super-insulator with the highest insulation value of any known material with the lowest thermal conductivity value of any solid. Unfortunately, the application of aerogel is severely limited due to the difficulty of handling. After eight years of research and efforts, Beijing Matrix Technologies Co.,Ltd. has met the world challenge on the combination of mechanical strength and thermal insulation.

Y-Warm, a new thermal insulation material developed by us, is a revolutionary excellent insulator with an extremely low thermal conductivity of 0.020 W/(m*K). The wall thickness is 20-280 nm, and the pore size is 30-190 μm. The closed cell rate of Y-Warm is over 95% and the effective porosity is over 96% (substrate removed).

 

When this material is applied between the fabric and the lining of the garment, an insulation is formed so that the heat conduction from the cold air outside to the human body is dramatically slowed down. The end effect of this insulating layer formed by Y-Warm would be the dramatic reduction of heat loss from the human body. The dream of keeping warm in winter with light clothes can be realized in perfect unity with Y-Warm.

Different from the fluffy insulation of down and synthetic fiber, Y-Warm offers a new concept of warmth for winter fashion. From the appearance of Y-Warm, it is like a special kind of fabric with great tactile properties, but lighter weight and smaller volume. According to the inventor of Y-Warm, after placing Y-Warm in a test box at -60°C for a week, the tactile property remains stable and warm.   When this material is soaked to several times its original weight, it can still float on water. Other properties such as moisture permeability, antimicrobial and quick drying make this material ideal. Y-Warm is committed to human-animal coexistence and sustainability. After 8 years of research, the R&D team of Beijing Matrix Technologies Co., Ltd. has overcome the technical challenges and made this material shine in application.
