Reduce weight, corrosion, vibrations, the risk of lightning strikes and costs in your nacelles
On account of our in-depth expertise in polyurethane, plastic and composite, we at PolyTech make it possible to replace conventional materials such as steel by designing and batch producing customised parts and components for use in nacelles. Always with reduced costs as an attractive side benefit.
The use of polyurethane, plastic and composite opens up a range of attractive properties that have previously been more difficult or more expensive (or both) to obtain. Replacing steel and other conventional materials with polyurethane or material combinations including polyurethane provides access to components with the following properties, for example:
- Vibration damping
- Insulating
- Non-conductive
- Weight-reducing
- Electromagnetically shielding (EMC)
Polyurethane is distinguished by combining extraordinary strength with peerless flexibility in both surface properties and design. At the same time, other injection-moulded products will often produce significant savings in relation to machined products. You can have a wide variety of customised parts manufactured for your nacelles, including:
- Cable trays
- Cable collars
- Hatches
PolyTech also supplies complete Lightning Protection Systems to protect the entire nacelle.
