With over 45 years of experience in Space, Industrial, and Aerospace materials, we're committed to long-term partnerships and excellence in every project. We specialize in providing cutting-edge material application solutions for the most demanding space applications. With a focus on innovation and excellence, we serve a wide range of sectors within the space industry.

Our Approach

We stock, supply, and covert space-qualified materials to OEMs of launch vehicles, habitats, and satellites along with their tier suppliers and fabricators. Our offerings include high-performance engineered fabrics and films, thermal control coatings, pressure-sensitive tapes, sealants and adhesives, ablative cork, rubber, bonding materials, thin films and metals, customized laminates, and converted parts with precision-engineered components.

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of space applications, our materials are engineered for extreme thermal stability, low outgassing, weight efficiency, and long-term durability. They are supplied with full material traceability, technical data, and documentation to accelerate your qualification cycles and reduce risk.

Applications include passive thermal control, orbital debris mitigation, atomic oxygen control, de-orbit technologies, vibration damping, light blocking, multi-layer insulation blankets (MLI), flexible circuit heaters, wire and harness protection, EMI shielding, and many others. Our materials support efficient assembly, enhanced material quality, and mission assurance from launch through end of life.
