Renegade Materials Corp. (Springboro, OH, US) and Maverick Corp. (Blue Ash, OH, US) are emphasizing their composite materials for high-temperature aerospace applications.
Renegade Materials Corp. (Springboro, Ohio) and Maverick Corp. (Blue Ash, Ohio) are emphasizing their composite materials for high-temperature aerospace applications.
Renegade Materials is the exclusive source for prepregs and adhesives powered by Maverick-developed non-MDA polyimide resins. Renegade Materials’ 700°F RM-1100 polyimide prepreg is qualified or in qualification at multiple international aerospace OEMs. Further, RM-1100 and Renegade Materials’ 600°F MVK-14 FreeForm prepregs are approved for export and offer good non-MDA options to replace PMR-15 as well as titanium in primary structure.
Maverick Corp is featuring its family of high-temperature polyimide resin transfer molding (RTM) resins and coatings, including J-1 (700°F), MVK-10 (600°F) and MVK-2066 polyimide coating resin. In BMIs, Renegade Materials is promoting its prepreg systems (RM-3002 and RM-3004), infusion resins (RM-3000 and RM-3010) and adhesives (RM-3011, RM-3006 and RM-3007). Renegade Materials’ RM-3004 is said to be the most mature out-of-autoclave-processible BMI prepreg system in the industry with applications in aerospace structures and tooling. Renegade Materials has completed several key commercial aerospace qualifications of these BMI products in 2016 and is now in high-rate production supporting these programs. Finally, Renegade Materials is also featuring its low-dielectric prepreg system, RM-2014-LDk-TK. This modified epoxy system offers equivalent dielectric properties to cyanate esters, at a lower cost, and processes in or out of autoclave. RM-2014-LDk-TK is offered as an option for the radome market. Booth S12.
