Frequently Asked Questions
We offer various sized sample sheets depending on the product family (thermal protection systems are provided in a 8.5 x 11” format) for purchase.
We can have those mailed to you within 48 hours.
1. Our larger roll products can be purchased by reaching out to a salesperson through our contact form. We are happy to assist you in refining which product may suit your need best.
2. Our onsite shop page can be used to purchase commercialized, off-the-shelf, products such as AeroZero Tape, AeroZero Flame and Thermal Barriers, and PhaseBlue Series Circuit Materials.
3. Our off-the-shelf products are also listed on Digikey for easy purchase.
Increasing the number of layers of AeroZero in a design provides minimal increase in thickness and weight, but results in a greater reduction in temperature through its interface.
We have a product development process. New products can be simple, incremental changes or wholesale material science development. Our process can take anywhere from a few weeks to over a year depending on the nature of the development you are looking for. Please provide relevant information in the contact form. After filling it out, we can let you know whether the specified project is something we can assist you with and the expected timing, or whether it is something we do not have the ability to complete.
We currently offer three adhesive choices:
- Silicone Aerospace Adhesive: A silicone adhesive known for its high temperature performance and excellent fire retardancy.
- Low Outgassing Adhesive: An acrylic adhesive that is used in demanding space & medical applications where low out-gassing is required. This acrylic adhesive should be used in applications where high temperatures and flame-resistant performance are not required.
- Medical Grade Adhesive: A silicone adhesive that, when introduced to body fluids, prevents toxins from leaching into the body.
Please inquire about other adhesive options.
We currently have two product lines that employ our core material technology:
AeroZero – Our flagship technology used across our Thermal Protection Systems (AZ-TPS), Flame and Thermal Barriers (AZ-FTB), and AeroZero Tape (AZ-Tape). AeroZero delivers exceptional thermal stability, lightweight insulation, and structural integrity for demanding environments.
PhaseBlue – A specialized extension of our polyimide aerogel technology, engineered for RF, antenna, and high-frequency circuit applications. PhaseBlue delivers ultra-low dielectric loss, a uniform and thermally stable structure, and high signal speed without the phase shift associated with PTFE-based materials. Its lightweight, formable, and PFAS-free construction enables next-generation designs in phased arrays, conformal antennas, and radomes where performance, reliability, and sustainability converge.
Many companies produce silica aerogels, but only a few produce polyimide aerogels. Of those that do produce polyimide aerogels, we stand alone in our ability to produce it in a thin-roll format.
AeroZero is a thin, polyimide aerogel film that is flexible and durable. The film is 85% porous and produced at 165 microns (6.5 mil) thickness. AeroZero provides the thermal insulation, RF transparency, dielectric properties, and lightweight benefits of an aerogel with the ease of use and mechanical strength of a plastic film.
PhaseBlue is a polyimide aerogel dielectric material engineered for RF, antenna, and high-frequency circuit applications. It combines ultra-low dielectric loss, high thermal stability, and lightweight formability, enabling reliable performance in phased arrays, conformal antennas, and radomes.
Polyimide aerogels are a 2-in-1 material technology. The clear advantage of using this material arises from its 85% air content that exists due to the material’s nano-porous structure. The high air content means that all of the properties that are inherent to air are also inherent in our material. Polyimide aerogels combine thermal conductivity and diffusivity, high heat tolerance, ultra-low dielectric properties, and a high strength-to-density ratio. The “Structured Air” of the material results in its low thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant, and lightweight nature. When combined with a robust polyimide shell, polyimide aerogels are able to have a high-temperature range, high flame/chemical resistance, and great mechanical strength. Our ability to produce polyimide aerogels in such a thin-roll format allows it to be combined with other substrates for enhanced thermal and RF performance (e.g., graphite, polyimide, VDA polyimide, etc…).
While traditional silica aerogels are flaky, dangerous to manufacture, and cumbersome to use, polyimide aerogels are safe from their inception to their end use. The material properties of the advanced material make it the perfect choice for transient or cyclical thermal events. Plus, due to our uniquely developed manufacturing ability, our polyimide aerogel can be produced in a thin roll-to-roll format that is easy to apply and conform to your design needs.
