ISRO spinoff technologies are commercial products and services which have been developed with the help of

Indian Space Research Organisation The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO; ) is the national space agency of India, headquartered in Bengaluru. It operates under the Department of Space (DOS) which is directly overseen by the Prime Minister of India, while the Chairman ...

, through research and development, licensing of ISRO patents, use of ISRO facilities, technical assistance from ISRO personnel, or data from ISRO research. So far 300 technologies have been transferred to Indian industries and licensee industries to manufacture and market the products. New Space India Limited was set up to market spin-off technologies and products and services both in India and abroad.

Products

Below are spinoff products developed by ISRO.

Adhesives

ISRO has developed various structural and non-structural adhesives. silicon based, polyurethane elastomers and acrylic based adhesives are Non-structural. Epoxy resins, phenol based and rubber based adhesives using chloroprene and neoprene are Structural. These adhesives can be used in automobile and other engineering industries.

Thermal barrier

Unnamed thermal barrier used in cryogenic fuel tanks made up of hydrophobic silica aerogel has low thermal conductivity, density and high specific surface area. It can be used as thermal insulator to manufacture winter clothes and boots of soldiers stationed in extremely cold regions.

Left ventricular assist device

Using lightweight rocket material, ISRO has developed a low-cost heart pump that assists the human heart, notably in cases of left ventricle failure. The device is composed of a special bio-compatible titanium alloy and can pump 3-5 litres of blood every minute. It has been experimented on animals and it was found to be successful.
