Redefining Insulation Technology
Just 0.7 mm. Approximately +10°C Warmer
Y-Warm is an ultra-thin, lightweight thermal insulation material engineered to deliver high thermal efficiency with minimal thickness.
At just 0.7 mm, a single layer can provide a perceived warmth increase of approximately 10°C under specified test conditions, while reducing reliance on the thickness and bulk traditionally associated with thermal insulation.
With an operating temperature range of −50°C to 150°C, the material provides effective thermal insulation across apparel, footwear, outdoor gear, and a wide range of industrial applications.
Moisture Management
Engineered with hydrophilic functionality, Y-Warm effectively absorbs and manages moisture while maintaining its thermal insulation performance.
According to GB/T 21655.1-2023, the material achieved a water absorption rate of 280% before washing and 279% after washing, demonstrating high and durable absorption performance.
In apparel and footwear applications, this capability helps reduce moisture accumulation on the body-facing side and support comfort during wear.
Quick-Drying Performance
Y-Warm combines high moisture absorption with rapid drying.
In comparative testing, the material reached a dry state in approximately 60 minutes, despite absorbing more moisture than the comparison fabrics.
Combined with ultra-thin, lightweight thermal insulation, this quick-drying capability helps reduce moisture accumulation and support comfort during extended wear.

Technical Overview
Aerogels combine nanoscale porosity with extremely low thermal conductivity, but the inherent brittleness of conventional silica structures limits mechanical flexibility.
After eight years of R&D, Y-Warm emerged as a new flexible thermal insulation material with micrometer-scale closed cells and nanometer-thick polymer cell walls.
This engineered microstructure delivers extremely low thermal conductivity comparable to that of aerogels, while its flexible polymer framework addresses the brittleness associated with conventional nanoporous insulation materials.

Verified Performance
Precautions
Apparel Products
1. Applying pressure at temperatures above 100°C may reduce pore recovery and affect thermal insulation performance.
2. Dense quilting may increase stiffness and reduce softness.
Laminated products
1. Applying pressure at temperatures above 100°C may impair pore recovery; higher temperatures and pressures may result in greater performance degradation.
2. Full-coverage adhesive lamination may eliminate moisture vapor permeability.

The Transformative Power of Technology
For thousands of years, warmth has largely depended on one principle: trapping still air with thickness and loft.
From grasses, leaves, and natural fibers to fur, down, and modern synthetic insulation, materials have evolved — but the fundamental approach has remained largely unchanged.
Y-Warm takes a different approach.
By engineering thermal insulation at the microstructural level, high thermal efficiency is achieved in an ultra-thin, lightweight form, reducing the traditional reliance on bulky, loft-based insulation.
From adding more material to engineering better structure.
This shift represents a new direction in thermal insulation technology — and a step forward in the evolution of advanced thermal materials.
