Aerospace Materials and Custom Converting Solutions

ABLE works closely with global aerospace manufacturers and suppliers to provide specialty converted materials used in aircraft assembly, maintenance, and protection. ABLE’s solutions are engineered to meet strict aerospace standards, ensuring reliability, performance, and safety in critical applications.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs)

In aerospace systems, electronic components like radar, navigation, and communication modules generate significant heat. The effective thermal management of heat depends on TIMs to pull heat from delicate system components into heat sinks or chassis. The failure of flight systems due to overheating occurs when adequate thermal management systems are not properly implemented. ABLE transforms silicone-based pads along with thermally conductive adhesives and gap fillers into customized pieces to connect with complex electronic assemblies, which maintain stability across harsh operating altitudes and temperature environments.

EMI/RFI Shielding Materials

Aircraft contain numerous electronic systems operating simultaneously, making them highly susceptible to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. EMI/RFI shielding materials block unwanted signals that could cause disruptions in avionics, flight controls, or communication equipment. ABLE works with conductive foams, metal foil laminates, and absorber films—cut and layered to spec—to build protective enclosures and shields. These materials help maintain signal integrity, comply with aerospace converting solutions standards, and enhance flight safety.

Adhesive Tapes and Films

The aerospace sector utilizes adhesive tapes and films to deliver numerous functions, which include producing bonds for lightweight materials alongside protecting surfaces throughout assembly operations and flight phases. Engineers use polyimide (Kapton) and PTFE and specialized 3M aerospace converting tapes as materials that excel at resisting heat and chemicals, and wear experiences. ABLE custom-converts these into rolls, die-cut pieces, or sheets for applications like wire harness wrapping, component mounting, and flame-retardant labeling. These tapes ensure safety, reduce assembly time and meet stringent aviation standards.

Gasket and Sealing Materials

Air, moisture, fuel, and contaminants use gaskets and seals to seal off sensitive aircraft areas from unwanted intrusion. These components find applications in cockpit doors, windows, fuel tanks, and electronic housings where they need to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures. ABLE transforms high-performance substances consisting of silicone rubber Viton, PORON, and BISCO foam into exact gaskets ready for installation. The gaskets provide extended sealing capabilities together with vibration reduction performance while remaining durable against chemical exposure to protect the aircraft from damage.

ABLE’s unmatched expertise in precision slitting and high-tech material conversion makes them a vital partner for aerospace manufacturers around the world. Cutting-edge aerospace applications benefit from their involvement, which results in building the next generation of aerospace industry components with a precise foundation of excellence.
