A total integrated capability in advanced composites, transparencies & plastics...
Texstars Inc., based in Texas, USA, is a leading provider of highly-engineered polymer and composite-based technologies. Core products include high-performance transparencies for use mainly in military aircraft canopies and composite and thermo-plastic moulded components and assemblies for a broad range of applications.
Transparencies produced by Texstars are typically manufactured out of polycarbonate and acrylic materials and employ the use of advance coating technology to provide low observable (ie “Stealth”) and other protective characteristics that provide both tactical advantage and superior product-life performance characteristics. Other transparent components include a full range of anti-ballistic screens for land-based applications.
Hampson also provides one of the broadest ranges of process technologies for components produced out of advanced composite materials. Composites are becoming increasingly important in airframe manufacture in view of their superior strength-to-weight, corrosion resistance and other performance characteristics.
Advanced Composite products using the latest process technologies are manufactured by Composite Horizons Inc. for applications throughout commercial and military aerospace, aero engine, spacecraft, medical and specialised engineering.
Fabrication processes range from epoxies and phenolics up to and including the most advanced toughened thermosets and high temperature polymers, both thermoset and thermoplastic.
