Applications/Aerospace & Defense

Syntactic Cores, Radomes & Mission-Critical Lightweight Structures

When grams equal fuel, and fuel equals range — engineered spheres deliver both.

Syntactic foam cores for sandwich structures, low-dielectric radome and antenna materials, and tooling board for precision master models.

Application scenarios

01

Sandwich panel syntactic cores

High-strength HGM/epoxy cores for interior panels, fairings, UAV structures.

02

Radomes & antenna windows

Low Dk/Df composite skins — HGM lowers dielectric constant toward air (≈1.0) while holding stiffness.

03

Epoxy tooling board

Dimensionally stable, easily machined master and layup tooling boards.

04

Ablative & thermal protection fillers

Hollow cores absorb heat flux in specialty protection systems.

Why switch — on both ledgers

Economic advantages
  • Metal-to-composite conversion at commodity tooling cost
  • Stable long-lead supply from a 30,000 t/yr single-site plant
  • Full traceability and batch COA for qualification programs
Functional advantages
  • 30,000 psi grades survive autoclave-adjacent processing
  • Low dielectric constant + low loss for RF transparency
  • Isotropic CTE reduces thermal cycling fatigue
  • 60 µm-class particles pack densely in thin plies
