DEFENCE APPLICATIONS

Body Armour and Helmets

Body armour and helmets utilise composite materials and kevlar which can be hard to bond substrates requiring specialized adhesives which are also reliable in various temperatures and are lightweight. These materials also need to provide impact resistance.

Drones and UAVs

Now a large part of the defence sector, drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) require lightweight materials which will protect critical sensitive electronic components like sensors and battery components from weathering, overheating, and vibration.

Submarines and Ships

Marine defence vehicles require waterproof and airtight seals during construction and for at sea repairs. These materials need to withstand deep sea pressures, saltwater, and extreme environments. These vessels also require protective reliable seals for electronic components like navigation systems.

Aircraft

Adhesive and sealant application for defence aircrafts span sealing oxygen supply pipework on fighter jets, cockpit instruments, bonding wiring looms to aircraft fuselage and lightweight panel bonding. These materials need to withstand extreme environments and temperatures but also need to have low outgassing properties.

Maintenance and Repair

Defence vehicles cannot always be drydocked or warehoused for repairs and require fast cure, reliable, on the go repairs which can fill gaps, cracks, leaks and seal various substrates. Materials such as form in place gaskets and moisture cure MS polymers are ideal.

Land Vehicles

Land vehicles like tanks and emergency vehicles require adhesives and sealants to bond rubber flooring, grip treads, and impact resistance panelling, as well as protect sensitive electronics and prevent overheating under the hoods. They are also used for engine assembly and maintenance.
