1. Technology overview
KrossLinker is a deep-tech materials company with headquarters at CleanTech III in Singapore, founded by Dr Gayathri Natarajan (CEO) and Dr Mahesh Sachithanandam (CTO). It develops silica aerogels using a water-based, low-energy production process for building, cold-chain, paint and industrial insulation uses.
Products are KrossShield SR Pro, an aerogel-powered cooling paint, Cryar super-insulating aerogel composite board, and QuintAero silica aerogel powder, with an aerogel blanket in development. A 500 Global article states the paint can lower surface temperatures by up to 10 C and ambient temperatures by up to 5 C, aimed at data centres, industrial pipelines and rooftops.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- KrossShield SR Pro: aerogel-powered cooling paint.
- Cryar: super-insulating aerogel composite board, with a cold-chain brochure.
- QuintAero: ultra-light, low-conductivity silica aerogel powder in 100 and 1000 variants.
- Aerogel Blanket: flexible composite blanket listed as in development.
- Target uses: cold-chain packaging, building and construction, data centres, pipelines and rooftops.
3. Potential application
Cooling paint for factory roofs and warehouses in Vietnamese industrial parks. Insulation boards for cold-chain containers and reefer packaging. Coatings for data centre rooftops and exposed industrial pipelines.
4. Benefits
Reported surface temperature reduction of up to 10 C and ambient reduction of up to 5 C (per a 500 Global article). Water-based, eco-friendly formulation. Developed and piloted for tropical climates, with planned expansion to Southeast Asian markets. Range covers paint, board and powder formats.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Rising cooling loads in hot cities and data centres increase demand for reflective and insulating coatings. As a Singapore company planning pilots in tropical conditions and expansion across Southeast Asia, KrossLinker addresses the same climate as Vietnam, where roof and cold-chain heat loads are major energy costs.
