The story:
Krayden partnered with a company looking for a material to apply onto rocket nozzles exposed to extreme high flux temperatures forming an insulator layer. We recommended Dow 93-104. The material was reliable and very effective. It also simplified processing conditions and was easy to apply and remove.
What is the application? | Apply ablative material onto rocket nozzles exposed to extreme high flux temperatures forming an insulator layer. Thus protecting substrates against heat exposure. |
What issues was the end-user having? | No issues as this is a unique application and process |
What material was used to solve the issue? | Dow 93-104 ablative silicone that could be used in Phenolic applications. |
Why did this material work better than other materials? | Reliability, tested capability and aerospace designs mil spec approvals. |
Was this material lower cost than other materials? | No. |
Did this material improve the process? | Yes. Very effective material. Simplified processing conditions and is easy to apply and remove. |
What industry/market was this material used in? | Aerospace, avionics and space bound units. |
