Airbag fabrics are typically high-strength woven materials that retain their physical integrity against rapid inflation by an inert gas to cushion impacts. Airbags are typically made from woven fabric, which may be coated or uncoated but must be impermeable to gases and flame resistant. Nylon textiles such as Nylon (polyamide) 6.6 are among the most [...]

Refractory cement and moldables are highly important across a number of industries.  In the construction of furnaces and large ovens, where there are high-temperature firebricks or refractory linings, castable refractory cement is essential. These are generally formulated from thermally resistant clinker and specialized aggregate materials and are essential to thermodynamic stability in the heating chamber [...]

Due to the rapid growth in the use of aluminum by automobile manufacturers, there have been an increased supply demands for aluminum rolling mills. The aluminum industry is buoyant as manufacturers take advantage of the materials strength and lightness in preference to steel. A good example is Ford committing to aluminum for the F-150 pick-up [...]

Conventional industrial binders, such as Portland cement, contain organic or metallic elements that have been calcinated at high temperatures and mixed with intermediate minerals such as gypsum. Some cement blends may also comprise recovered materials from industrial processing such as furnace slag and fly ash. The resultant powder mixture may be used to mix concrete [...]

Mechanical gaskets are used to seal the voids and mating surfaces between components in high-temperature applications. The mating surfaces of furnace doors, flues, or thermal piping must be correctly sealed to maintain optimal levels of device efficiency and reduce the impact of energy wastage and environmental emissions. This is often achieved via the application of [...]

High-temperature masonry comes in multiple forms, from thermodynamically stable firebricks to castable refractory cement that are formulated from thermally resistant clinker and specialized aggregate materials. Conventional cements are often used in the manufacturing of fireplaces and furnaces, but they do not exhibit the requisite thermodynamic stability for application within the heating chamber or for direct [...]

Airbag fabrics are typically high-strength woven materials that can retain their physical integrity against rapid inflation by an inert gas to cushion impacts. Nylon textiles are among the most common fabrics used to weave airbag cushions for general manufacturing and automotive applications. However, conventional component arrangements have significant drawbacks that have forced manufacturers to explore [...]

High-performance thermal seals are characterized as flexible materials with exceptional mechanical resistance to the corrosive elements inherent in high-temperature applications. This requires fabricated materials with a good balance of malleability and mechanical toughness to provide the requisite formability for sealing mating surfaces and voids in thermal components. Direct resistance to smoke corrosion, flame impingement, and [...]

Tadpole gaskets are unique thermal sealing solutions comprised of a heat-resistant cover and a durable core material arranged in a distinctive bulb and tail structure. The external material, typically thermally-resistant,  is wrapped around the core material to form a cylindrical bulb. The edges of the tape or fabric are then fused together to form the [...]
