## About

Based in Tsukuba, Japan, and co-founded by Rudder Wu (CTO), Hiro Koh (CFO), and Kuan-I Lee in 2021, Thermalytica operates as a research and development company that designs thermal management materials used in hydrogen society, energy-saving appliances, energy saving houses, electric car, semiconductor, and functional fiber. In March 2023, the firm raised JPY 112.3 million in Series A funding led by investor KSP, with participation from investors Tsukuba Center and National Institute for Materials Science. The firm as of March 2023, is led by its representative director, Kazuo Onuma.

The company offers an air-gel (silicon oxide) material TIISA®, a material for insulation and thermal management. TIISA material, because of its high heat insulation properties, is used as a cooling material for transporting liquefied hydrogen at -253°C and for space applications, and TIISA composites, are used as thermal insulation and heat shield materials in the fields of construction materials, plants, and home appliances. Thermalytica also offers thermal barrier coating through a next-generation electron beam physical vapor deposition system (EB-PVD) where a ceramic coating layer is deposited on the surface of highly heat-resistant metals and superalloys, to enhance heat resistance, as well as consulting services on Reusable Rocket, Aircraft Engine, Hydrogen Society, etc.

The company utilizes its March 2023 funding to strengthen production and drive corporate growth.
