industry use cases
Military/Defense
Silicone used in government applications is often exposed to harsh environments on land, sea, air or space.
Government contractors require that the material conform to the strictest standards to ensure critical military and defense systems perform consistently. We can formulate our silicone to meet the requirements of most Military Specifications.
Silicones can withstand extreme temperature ranges, from high heat (450ºF+) to below freezing. Its natural resistance to water, fungi, ozone, and UV make it the perfect choice for outdoor applications. Our materials can be formulated to be fire retardant or fuel resistant, while still maintaining their elastomeric characteristics.
Our internal testing and quality system ensures the material meets the physical and mechanical requirements with lot traceability for each batch of silicone that we produce. We are an approved and experienced small business supplier to the Department of Defense (DoD) and the major defense contractors.
We meet the various SAM / CAGE, cybersecurity, domestic employees and other requirements to supply the government.
