As global temperatures rise, new solutions are rapidly needed to manage the effects of a hotter climate
- IsoMat from green tech start-up Flint Engineering reinvents traditional heat pipe technology using a revolutionary new heat transfer design
- Groundbreaking innovation can advance climate change resilience and reduce costs by managing energy more efficiently
- Roof cladding featuring IsoMat could satisfy the total demand for electricity and heat/hot water, or for cooling entire homes using sunlight and the ambient air temperature
- IsoMat-equipped fridges could see energy consumption reduced by 30%
- Precise temperature control of electric vehicle batteries could extend range and cell life while enabling faster charging
- Commercial production of IsoMat begins this year with significant interest from UK, North American, and Middle Eastern markets

Green tech start-up Flint Engineering has today unveiled IsoMat, a breakthrough technology to confront the climate crisis. With global temperatures rising, this innovative solution promises to transform temperature management across multiple industries while dramatically reducing energy consumption.
At its core, IsoMat reinvents traditional heat pipe technology through an innovative flat aluminium sheet design, featuring an internal network of sealed channels. When exposed to temperature differentials, the liquid within these channels undergoes a rapid cycle of evaporation and condensation, resulting in near-instantaneous heat transfer across the entire surface.
Enabling thermal energy transfer approximately 5,000 times more efficiently than copper or aluminium alone, IsoMat opens myriad new possibilities across multiple sectors.
In construction, IsoMat’s integration into building cladding systems harnesses ambient temperature differences to naturally heat or cool buildings, IsoMat roof cladding could potentially harvest enough energy from the air to power an entire home, dramatically reducing building energy consumption.
“IsoMat tackles the climate crisis head-on. It future-proofs industries against rising global temperatures, advances climate change resilience and dramatically improves efficiency. We’re seeing unprecedented interest across the construction, electrification, and refrigeration sectors – yet these industries represent just a snapshot of the potential for this game changing innovation. With commercial deployment scheduled for this year, we’re preparing to engage with venture capital communities in the UK, North America, and the Middle East. We’re actively seeking partnerships and welcome ideas from companies across all sectors. The possibilities for this revolutionary technology are truly endless.”
Mark Robinson, CEO of Flint Engineering
Flint is currently finalising commercial partnerships and will begin production later this year. Early adopters across target industries are already exploring implementation strategies, recognising IsoMat’s potential to dramatically reduce energy consumption while improving performance metrics.
