Levron Aerogel develops advanced aerogel-based thermal materials engineered for stationary energy storage systems, helping support safer architectures through passive fire barriers, high-temperature resilience, and thermal containment logic.
Stationary energy storage is critical infrastructure. System operators and BESS developers demand materials that support localized thermal containment and uptime without creating excess volume or serviceability burdens.
Localized thermal events must not result in total container loss or extended network downtime.
Large battery assemblies must maintain maximum internal volume to maintain grid parity economics.
Materials must perform continuously over a 15–20 year operational lifespan despite environmental stresses.
System operators rely on passive materials to control failures before active systems can respond. Effective containment logic minimizes the risk to adjacent racks and protects the broader facility perimeter.
Active cooling fails under severe thermal stress. Passive insulation layers are constant, uninterruptible infrastructure protections.
Protection engineered across the entire ESS volume to prevent module-to-module and rack-to-cabinet escalation.
Standard thermal insulation requires immense thickness, consuming internal container footprint. Aerogel allows ESS engineers to increase the internal pack density while retaining required protection layers.
Enclosures fit more cells when the passive fire barrier thickness is minimized without sacrificing absolute high-temperature performance.
Easier routing for bus bars, liquid cooling hoses, and sensing cables when insulation consumes minimal real estate.
Aerogel properties provide immense resistance structurally and thermally in a fraction of previous spatial footprints—improving total storage capacity.
A holistic containment strategy uses high-performance materials exactly where the threat profile requires them: within enclosures, between racks, and surrounding sensitive electronics.
Thin and ultra-thin custom die-cut sheets prevent localized heat spreading inside primary battery module housings.
Flexible aerogel blankets line the boundaries of steel racks, guaranteeing a non-combustible compartment isolation across the overall grid.
High-thermal-resistance layers applied directly against the external shipping container or large walk-in BESS structures, blocking external fire risks from infiltrating.
Select the exact material property and form factor suited to the target ESS enclosure subsystem.
Ideal for intricate cell-level and module-level spacing where extremely thin boundaries (down to 1mm-3mm) are crucial to packaging.

Limits heat bleeding entirely. Final applied felts hit ~0.022 W/m·K depending on formulation.
Designed to absorb direct module exhaust and remain structurally protective up to limits nearing 1300°C for custom ceramics.
Active material repels condensation typical of large HVAC cooled BESS shipping containers, securing performance longevity.
Aerogel's massive air structure retains thermal resilience without adding debilitating weight to racks.
System integrators are upgrading to advanced materials to pass rigorous new UL and local fire code requirements.
