SATELLITE OEM
B R A I D E D T E T H E R
• Needs a small diameter strength member with specific tensile and
geometric requirements that current product was not achieving
• Requires a solution that is also black and UV resistant, as existing
aramid yarns are not available in color (coating is not acceptable
for the application due to off-gassing complications)
• Withstands extreme, prolonged thermal cycling
• Acts as a critical component for safe re-entry into earth’s
atmosphere at the end of the satellite’s life cycle

SNOWMOBILE OEM
R U N N I N G B O A R D
• Strength and stiffness comparable to incumbent aluminum
• Impact resistance at cold temperatures
• Fatigue resistance
• Extended mechanical performance, even with exposure to
water (melted snow)
• Good cosmetic finish with UV resistance
• Tailored a formulation that maintained
performance despite routine moisture exposure
and met customer aesthetic standards to
eliminate the need for decoration
• Guided metal-to-composite conversion and
design to redirect weld lines to non-critical
structural areas, allowing complex geometric
cutouts without post-operation requirements
• Enabled cost reduction through assembly step
