FLUOROPOLYMERS USE IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
High-performance polymers like PTFE, PEEK, PFA & PCTFE are increasingly being used in the Aerospace Industry due to their strength and durability. Weighing less, they are cost-effective both in production and the savings made on fuel.
If the weight of a single aircraft is reduced by just one kilogram it will produce 25 tons less carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime!
Polymers often provide better performance than metal components in terms of corrosion and fatigue resistance, insulative properties, and strength.
With our state-of-the-art CNC machines, high-strength materials, and tight tolerance capabilities, we provide the customized, high-performance components contractors rely on to ensure the safety, reliability, and success of their systems.
The UK has a reputation as a global centre of excellence for the design and production of engines, helicopters, wings, structures, and aircraft systems (including landing gear) and these high-performance materials are critical for sealing and insulation solutions, power management, fuel management, precision components, and vehicle integrity.
Polymers also have their benefits outside of traditional air travel too, clearly demonstrating their advantages in the defence sector, drones, unmanned aircraft, and autonomous air taxis.
Due to the highly critical nature of aerospace and defence components, the manufacturing of these products must meet the highest level of quality and reliability.
Fluorocarbon provides far more than just part production, with vertically integrated manufacturing, our team of design technicians, processors and experienced machinists use innovative technology and processes to manufacture the highest quality products and components.
Backed by extensive research and development, testing, and manufacturing capabilities, our design engineers work with our customers to provide products that meet the strict requirements and challenging specifications of the aerospace and defence market.
In addition to our many qualifications and certifications, Fluorocarbon is proud to meet the stringent standards for AS9100 certification. AS9100 provides manufacturing suppliers with a comprehensive quality system for providing safe and reliable products.
