The Aircraft Industry has used silicone adhesives and coatings for over five decades. Silicone's ability to maintain its elasticity and low modulus over a broad temperature range provides excellent utility in extreme environments. Recent advances in material technology provide more opportunities for the Aircraft engineer in choosing the best material for an intended application. Examples of NuSil's capabilities in custom silicones for Aircraft are demonstrated in the following sections.
- Static Dissipation and Electrically Conductive Silicones
General Purpose: Silicone Foam
