Servicing the
Aerospace Industry since 1956
The following are a few of Lamart's Noteworthy Aerospace Accomplishments:
-
Developed a laminated material used in rescue
balloons that has helped save hundreds of servicemen
from behind enemy lines
-
Worked with NASA to develop a heat reflective
component in America's first space suit
-
Developed APK™, the lightest weight
thermal & acoustic insulation covering film that
passes the radiant panel test - FAR 25.856(a)
(CLICK HERE TO DETAILS)
-
First
to develop a light weight polyimide thermal &
acoustic insulation covering film
-
Developed a radiation resistant heat reflector for
weather satellites
-
Developed laminated material for NASA, to be used to
make airships for communications platforms for both
earth based and extraterrestrial programs.
-
First
to receive a letter of compliance from the FAA for
radiant panel certification testing of insulation
covering films
Lamart manufactures APK™(PEKK),PEEK, PVF, polyimide, and polyester covering films.
The APK™, PEEK, PVF and polymide films pass FAR
25.856(a)

Lamart's films have proven to be easy to
use during the blanket fabrication process, and are
exceptional in the areas of:

SAVING INNOVATIONS
Lamart makes APK™ (PEKK) and PEEK based covering films,
all of which offer considerable weight savings, compared
with PVF covering films. Following are examples of
how much weight can be saved when using Lamart's light
weight covering films on Boeing aircraft:

MAINTENANCE Lamart's 213M is an
aluminum foil tape coated with a solvent resistant
pressure sensitive adhesive. It is used to mask
sensitive parts during the aircraft paint stripping
process.

SPACE SYSTEMS
Lamart has supplied a number of high performance laminated and coated materials to the aerospace industry, e.g., a radiation resistant heat reflector for weather satellites and a heat reflective component used in America's first space suit.
More recently, Lamart was chosen to develop a low permeation construction envelope material for an aerobot vehicle that is being designed for a mission to Titan, a moon of Saturn.
Lamart can help you design and manufacture the flexible substrates that you need, whether your project requires a heat reflective or low permeation construction, or any type of high performance, engineered material.
