Advanced Composite Products
Our continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are used for structural parts, shafts and pressure vessels, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding, bearings and other applications. Thermoplastic and thermoset materials are available; polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is the most commonly used. We use patented production technology with in-situ consolidation, eliminating the autoclaving process.
Thermoplastic Parts
Our thermoplastics are used for structural components such as shrouds, bearings, brackets and similar applications offering significant weight savings compared to metal components. We offer a wide range of thermoplastic and thermoset materials and other polymers, PEEK being the most commonly used.
Sealing Joints and Couplings
O-Rings and custom elastomer seals made from high-performance materials such as Isolast® are suitable for aggressive environments and a wide temperature range found in fuel lines and couplings during the launch phases.
Large-Diameter Seals
Our production facilities supply both spring-energized seals and O-Rings from one to three meters in diameter and can manufacture larger sizes. A special welding technique developed for the energy industry secures complete documentation of the material properties in the welding zone.
Variseal®
Some spacecraft use thrust vectoring actuators or flight control fins on the body of the vehicle. Our spring-energized Variseal® products offer reliable sealing for cold or hot gases, which are ejected at high speed to provide the necessary momentum to change rocket trajectory.
