Composite Materials
We develop high-performance composite materials engineered for extreme conditions where traditional materials fail. Our solutions serve aerospace, medical, and industrial applications requiring durability under cryogenic temperatures, radiation exposure, and structural stress. With over 30 years of experience, we deliver materials that meet the stringent demands of mission-critical operations.
Cryogenic Insulation
Our CryoCoat Thermal Insulation materials provide exceptional thermal and mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures. Specifically designed for applications requiring temperature resistance from liquid helium to elevated temperatures, these systems ensure operational reliability in extreme thermal cycling environments while maintaining structural integrity.
Pressure Vessels
We manufacture Type V composite pressure vessels and KIBOKO high-pressure tanks that deliver superior performance in demanding applications. These lightweight, durable solutions excel in marine, aerospace, and industrial settings where traditional metal vessels cannot meet performance requirements under extreme conditions.
Cryogenic Testing
Our comprehensive testing services validate composite material performance under harsh environments. Capabilities include NASA Cryoflex testing, thermal cycling from 4K to 523K, radiation exposure, and vacuum conditions. We provide actionable data that reduces system acquisition costs through evidence-based design improvements.
Resin Systems
Our portfolio includes over 100 commercial resin systems including NANUQ Electrical Insulation and TEMBO Elastic Memory Composites. These specialized materials enable advanced applications in superconducting magnets, deployable space systems, and radiation-resistant environments, supporting innovation across multiple technical domains.
