Key Benefits
RELIABLE MATERIALS FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS
Unmatched Corecell foam and proven Gurit prepregs reliably deliver outstanding mechanical properties at a low weight factor critical for vessels, aerial platforms and space payloads.
DEEPWATER & IMPACT PERFORMANCE
S-foam provides outstanding hydrostatic crush resistance for subsea applications — up to twice the working depth of equivalent-density PVC — enabling greater payload or deeper operation. M-foam offers extremely high impact resistance and slamming performance, while remaining easy to thermoform and machine.
RAPID MANUFACTURE VS PRECISION PERFORMANCE
Our prepreg range supports both high-throughput production and precision-critical use. Products include SE135T-1, SE75-T1, and SE140 — selected to meet varied process and performance needs.
SUPPORT THROUGH THE PROJECT LIFECYCLE
Our engineering and technical teams are experts in developing efficient, optimized structures for defense applications, offering services such as concept designs and feasibility studies, materials development and panel testing, as well regulatory compliance and onsite support.
DURABILITY IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
Materials have been developed for corrosion resistance, fatigue life and long-term reliability in harsh marine, airborne and space environments.
APPLICATIONS WE SERVE
SPACE QUALIFICATION & LAUNCH SYSTEMS
We supply prepregs under qualification programs for launching vehicle structures, supporting the high-reliability needs of the space sector.
FAST CRAFT & SPECIAL FORCES BOATS
Lightweight, high-stiffness structural panels and flotation elements built with Corecell S-foam or prepregs — designed for impact resilience, reduced weight and extended service life.
SENSORS, IMAGING & PAYLOAD STRUCTURES
Corecell S combined with prepregs, and specialized adhesives delivers homogeneous, stiff sandwich panels for sensor mounts, imaging payload bays and structural supports where dimensional stability is key.
SUBSEA & PLATFORMS
Corecell S is used for resilient buoyancy and structural sections in marine patrol platforms, enabling improved payload capacity and increased operational depths compared to PVC.
RADOMES & SPACE STRUCTURES
Precision-grade prepregs (e.g., SE135T-1, SE140) are formulated for radar transparency, high thermal stability and consistent performance under extreme loads — suitable for radome structures, fighter aerospace components and launch vehicle structures.
AERIAL PLATFORMS & UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVS)
Rapid-manufacture prepregs such as SE75-T1 and SE140 are ideal for fast turnarounds in drone production, balancing manufacturability with the required mechanical performance.
SUbsea & Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
Corecell M-foam and S-foam provide the buoyancy, hydrostatic crush resistance and machinability needed for subsea drones and payload housings.
