tiem factory

tiem factory Inc. is a Japanese advanced materials company specializing in the research, development, and production of aerogel-based thermal insulation materials. The company's flagship product, SUFA (Super Functional Air), is a proprietary organic-inorganic hybrid aerogel that is ultra-lightweight, highly transparent, and provides superior thermal insulation — over 90% air by structure. Founded as a Kyoto University spin-off, tiem factory serves B2B clients in construction, automotive, and logistics, offering SUFA in monolithic tile, granule, and powder forms for applications ranging from insulating glass panes to vehicle components. The company developed a novel manufacturing process that eliminates the need for costly supercritical drying, making aerogel production scalable and commercially viable for the first time.
