StratoPultrusion profile products
Rock West Composites (RWC, San Diego, Calif., U.S.) <a href="https://bitcomme.com/the%c2%b7team-announces-new-tour-marketing-hires/” title=”THE·TEAM Announces New Tour Marketing Hires”>announces the addition of StratoPultrusion products to its space-grade ecommerce line. Strato products currently include plates, sandwich panels and solar array substrates for lower Earth orbit (LEO) applications and geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) and deep space use. In partnership with DPP Pultrusion (Tilburg, Netherlands), RWC designed these new products to fill a market demand for truss-type and other space deployables.
The Strato line provides businesses and government agencies with high-quality, space-ready components at shorter lead times than custom products, RWC reports. StratoPultrusion rods and tubes will have4-8-week lead times, and orders can be placed easily online at RWC’s website. While the new products fill out an already robust product offering, more pultruded products are in the development pipeline.
StratoPultrusion meets key requirements for space, with properties that include low outgassing, low to zero coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), high modulus materials, low creep behavior and a wide operational temperature range. RWC contends that “no other suppliers currently offer space-grade pultruded components that are predesigned, have no NRE costs and offer such rapid turnaround times.”
Each order includes a certificate package with dimensional inspection, material certificates, traceability and a certificate of conformance. All products are serialized and traceable. Additional options for some products include full traveler verification, resin content testing, short beam shear testing and ASTM test specimen coupons.
