Overview
The white paper discusses the critical role of high-performance materials in aerospace and defense applications, emphasizing their necessity due to the extreme environmental conditions encountered in these sectors. Arik Barrera, Marketing Manager at CS Hyde Company, highlights the company's expertise in supplying a variety of engineering-grade polymer films, adhesive tapes, industrial fabrics, and silicone rubbers tailored for aerospace needs.
Key applications include the use of release films for composite molding, dielectric films for electrical performance, and high-temperature masking tapes for processes like circuit board soldering and powder coating. Barrera addresses the challenges of sourcing high-performance materials, particularly the issues related to minimum order quantities, which can hinder design engineers during prototyping. CS Hyde mitigates these challenges by offering flexible ordering options, including small quantities and custom sizes.
The paper also delves into the importance of low outgassing materials in aerospace design, particularly for space exploration. Outgassing refers to the release of gases or vapors from materials in a vacuum, which can contaminate sensitive components. The company has developed specialized products, such as Kapton® film tape with low outgassing acrylic adhesive, to meet stringent aerospace specifications. Polyimide, known for its lightweight, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, is highlighted as a frequently used material in the industry.
CS Hyde's capabilities extend to custom conversion services, including roll slitting, die cutting, and adhesive lamination, allowing for tailored solutions that meet specific project requirements. The white paper underscores the importance of high-performance materials in ensuring the reliability and safety of aerospace and defense applications, showcasing CS Hyde's commitment to innovation and customer-focused solutions in this critical field.
