Aerospace…RP46
was originally created by NASA to be a superior replacement
for existing polyimide resin systems. It's ability to
withstand extreme operating conditions make it an ideal
material for many critical aerospace applications that
have little tolerance for failure. Compression molded
bearings currently fly on many commercial airliners.
Defense…RP46
has rapidly become the high-temperature composite resin
of choice for many military platforms that require weight
reduction without sacrificing performance. With a continuous
operating range between -150ºF and +675ºF, RP46
is well suited for the extreme and rapidly changing temperatures
experienced by military aircraft.
Ballistics…combined
with quartz fabric, RP46 is
the perfect radome material for many of today's fast flying,
satellite guided missile systems. With its ability to
withstand temperature spikes up to 1,500ºF and its
unique electrical properties, RP46
radomes are seen as a "next generation" missile
component for the precision battlefield environment.
General
Industry…as an environmentally safe polyimide,
RP46 is now finding new and
innovative uses across a wide spectrum of industries from
down-hole drilling components that can withstand extreme
heat, pressure and chemical exposure, to automobile exhaust
and brake applications that allow for significant weight
reduction without sacrificing structural integrity.
