At the forefront of this transformative technology is UniNano Advanced Materials,an enterprise specializing in industrializing mesoporous thermal insulation materials. Harnessing their unique properties, UniNano is setting new standards in sustainable practices with significant improvements in heat retention and energy savings.（在遏制全球能源消耗以及随之而来的碳排放的过程中，介孔材料一直发挥着关键作用，这些具有精细调整的孔结构设计的前沿材料，代表着能源效率技术的巨大飞跃。处于这项变革性技术前沿的是UniNano Advanced Materials，这是一家专门从事介孔绝热材料工业化的企业。利用介孔绝热材料独特的特性，优纳正在为可持续实践设定新标准，显著提高保温和节能效果）”。

优纳专注于将介孔材料的独特性能应用于热绝缘领域，通过优化孔隙结构与多种纤维的结合，显著提高绝热性能。相比传统纤维基材料如岩棉、硅酸铝和玻璃棉等，在投资基本持平的情况下，实现了降低30%以上的散热损失。优纳成功开发了可扩展的制备方法和环保的生产工艺，展现了优异的安全性和环境友好性，确保介孔材料在热绝缘领域的大规模应用成为可能。同时，介孔绝热材料还具备优异的阻燃性和高疏水性，并且通过了长达40年的老化测试，具有优异的耐用性。在成本效益方面，杂志方面评价道“Compared to advanced materials like nano-aerogels, its mesoporous materials provide similar energy-saving benefits at a lower cost（与纳米气凝胶等先进材料相比，介孔绝热材料以更低的成本提供了类似的节能效果）”。

优纳的介孔绝热材料系列产品，已在多个领域获得了广泛应用，包括高温管道、工业设备和各类设施。其极低的导热系数、优异的耐火和憎水性能，使其在热电、化工、钢铁制造等多个行业展现出巨大优势，成功实施了超过500个项目。其中，优纳为河南能源集团提供的蒸汽管道隔热系统改造方案作为经典案例受到《制造技术洞察》杂志的关注，并在报道中对案例进行了详细描述。该项目针对长达660米、直径DN350的蒸汽管道进行了节能改造，通过引入优纳的先进介孔绝热材料，成功将隔热层厚度从250mm缩减至200mm，同时大幅降低了热损失和表面温度，实现了显著的节能效果。项目完成后，河南能源集团每年可节约蒸汽79,200吨，有效减少了能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。

近年来，优纳在江苏常州和江西上饶都建立了制造工厂，还先后获“专精特新小巨人”、“高新技术企业”以及“能源科学进步一等奖”等诸多荣誉。分别被国家工信部列入《国家工业和信息化领域节能降碳技术装备推荐目录(2024)》、《国家工业节能技术装备推荐目录（2020）》、被国家发改委国家节能中心列入重点节能技术应用典型案例、被国家清洁供热产业列入绿色低碳重大创新技术，并作为 14 个节能经典案例之一，入选《国家工业节能技术应用指南》。同时优纳还是中国碳中和行动联盟成员。

自优纳新材诞生之初，栾玉成教授便立足于科学创新的原点，将“以科技振兴国家，以实业服务祖国”作为自己的使命，始终坚持不渝。经过多年的发展，常州优纳新材不仅构建了稳固的经营管理基石，还赢得了业界的广泛赞誉。在全球可持续发展的驱动下，优纳将继续发展新质生产力，并为可持续的未来做出积极贡献。

In the quest to curb global energy consumption and its consequential carbon emissions,mesoporous materials have been pivotal. These cutting-edge materials, engineered with finely tuned pore structures, represent a quantum leap in energy efficiency technology.

At the forefront of this transformative technology is UniNano Advanced Materials, an enterprise specializing in industrializing mesoporous thermal insulation materials. Harnessing their unique properties, UniNano is setting new standards in sustainable practices with significant improvements in heat retention and energy savings.The company developed and industrialized diverse mesoporous materials with optimized pore structures, combining them with different fibers for enhanced thermal insulation. It achieves more than a 30 percent reduction in heat loss, surpassing traditional fiber-based materials like rock wool, aluminum silicate, and glass wool, which often suffer from inadequate thermal performance, energy efficiency and durability.

UniNano prioritizes cost-effectiveness. Compared to advanced materials like nano-aerogels, its mesoporous materials provide similar energy-saving benefits at a lower cost. It furthered its impact by developing scalable preparation methods, cost-effective production techniques, and environmentally friendly processes to enable large-scale application of mesoporous materials in thermal insulation. Produced using a green, water-based synthesis approach, these flame-retardant materials with low combustion calorific value and high hydrophobicity ensure environmental friendliness and safety across diverse applications. Tested through rigorous, 40-year aging experiments, UniNano’s mesoporous composite insulation materials boast exceptional durability and use about 50 percent less space compared to conventional options.

Delivering outstanding insulation, fire resistance, and waterproofing, its flagship mesoporous insulation series enhances energy efficiency with reduced material usage and extended service life. Engineered for temperatures exceeding 150 °C, these materials find wide application in pipelines, industrial equipment and various facilities, demonstrating success in thermal power, chemical production, steel manufacturing, and other industries with over 500 implementations.

Over the years, UniNano has scripted many success stories, but the transformation at Henan Energy stands out. Faced with an outdated steam pipe insulation system covering 660 meters of piping with a DN 350 diameter and an 11.5-meter-high corridor, Henan Energy initially used 250mm aluminum silicate insulation. This setup resulted in high heat loss (406.9 W/m), a surface temperature of 47.8°C, and a temperature drop of 9.5 to 17°C.

UniNano’s retrofit solution introduced its advanced mesoporous composite material, reducing the insulation thickness to 200mm. This upgrade significantly improved performance: heat loss dropped to 251.7 W/m, surface temperature fell to 39.6°C, and temperature drop was reduced to 5°C.

Dedicated to advancing new materials and refining production processes, the company aims to enhance efficiency, equipment utilization, and overall capacity. It actively engages in industry collaborations and technical exchanges, sharing and absorbing cutting-edge technologies and market insights to foster ongoing innovation.

Through rigorous market research and customer analysis, UniNano develops customized solutions that meet specific industry demands, ensuring its products align closely with customer requirements while promoting sustainability and operational efficiency.

Driven by a commitment to global sustainability, UniNano prioritizes R&D to ensure its industrialization processes are environmentally responsible and contribute to a sustainable future.
