High Performance Materials Engineered for Aerospace Systems.

 

 

Precision Products for High Stress Industries

Glassbond has been manufacturing High Performance Materials under licence from Sauereisen Inc for almost 40 years. Due to their integrity and strength, they provide excellent sealing, encapsulating and bonding properties required by the Aerospace industry.

Products

Air Set Materials.

These materials require no chemical catalyst, making them ideal for assembly line processes. Typical curing time is between 18-24 hours, but this can be reduced by heat application. Having characteristics such as being fireproof, gas proof and withstanding high temperatures these products can provide versatility for any production process.

Suited to thin applications.

Chemical Set Materials.

These materials can withstand temperatures from cryogenic levels to 1600°C making them ideal for the extremities faced by the Aerospace industry. This group of products have a quick cure time of between 30-90 minutes and can harden in a larger mass or thickness, making them suitable for thicker potting or casting applications. 

Suited to thick applications.

Types of Applications

From bonding, sealing, encapsulating to coating, the versatility of our range means that we will have a solution to your engineering needs. These are some of the applications that our products have been proven to work in:

Missile & Propulsion Systems

High temperature sealing and encapsulation for ignition, control and guidance sensors.

Radar and Sensor Platforms

Our high dielectric strength adhesives can be used for precision sensor assembly.

Aerospace Sensors

The cryogenic resistance of our materials makes them suitable for encapsulating sensors in these extreme conditions.

Infrared, Optical and Lighting Systems

The adhesive nature of our products provides lamp bonding, reflector adhesive and heat resistant encapsulation capabilities.

Potting Thermocouples and Sensors

The volume stability of the these products make excellent for all potting requirements.

Avionic Heat Exchangers

The low shrinkage and dielectric integrity of our High Performance Materials make ideal sealants and insulators for these components
