NanoSperse at Defense Manufacturing Conference, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, 2009
Nov. 19, 2009 - NanoSperse staff will be attending the 2009 Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC),
Nov. 30-Dec. 3, at the Hilton Orlando in Orlando, FL, where they will present the firm's nano-enhanced
Erosion Protection Film, at Booth #1002.
The newly-developed material can be co-cured with a composite structure, or applied as an appliqué,
to provide protection against sand abrasion and other erosive forces, such as wind and rain.
“Sand abrasion is a major challenge for composites used in helicopters, aircraft and other weapons
systems,” said NanoSperse President Art Fritts. “Many of these applications are weight sensitive, and
end users don’t want to compromise the entire system by adding a heavy, protective layer. Nor do
they want to drive up maintenance and repair costs in order to use the lightweight composite material.
Our film, which can be co-cured into the original composite structure, answers both requirements –
it’s lightweight and it protects the base composite layer.”
The cost of NanoSperse’s newly-launched film is comparable to paint, but it provides up to a 10-fold
improvement in resistance to sand abrasion or other erosive forces, such as wind and rain, said Fritts.
NanoSperse’s film can decrease the life cycle cost of the composite structure by up to 73%, he said.
The erosion protection film has been qualified to fly on military aircraft, and the company is hoping
to transition the innovative to other composite structures.
“The Defense Manufacturing Conference is an excellent venue to present our cutting-edge technology,”
said Fritts. “A number of high-performance composite parts are suffering from sand erosion, which
drives up maintenance, inspection and repair costs, and compromises the integrity of the entire
structure. Our film provides a solution to this challenge,” he said.
