Custom Polymer Solutions for Aerospace, Commercial, Defense, and Space Environments
To accelerate the performance of products exposed to environmental extremes and difficult conditions, Zeus provides a range of tubing, spiral wrap, heat shrink, and insulated wire solutions. Working with OEMs, aerospace manufacturers, aircraft suppliers, and distributors, our polymer solutions are routinely found in applications where materials are exposed to difficult working conditions and environmental extremes.
Manufactured from polymers such as PEEK, PTFE, PFA, ETFE, ECTFE, PVDF, and FEP, Zeus products are designed to meet or exceed relevant industry standards, ensuring critical applications operate reliably under extreme and demanding conditions in the aerospace industry.
Applications:
- Wire Harness – Zeus provides an array of products for harnessing and insulating wires, cable, hoses, and other unwieldly bundles. Our products provide protection from environments of chafing, heat, corrosion, shock, and moisture. Our products are particularly widespread in the aerospace industry not only for their physical protection of the covered components but also for their insulating qualities.
- Composite Forming – Heat shrink release aids provide seamless coverings for composite forming mandrels or bladders that expand with heat and pressure for composite manufacturing. Our advanced heat shrinks replace labor-intensive film or tape while saving time to produce an improved surface finish on the end composite part.
- Critical Fluid Transfer – Zeus offers customizable tubing with varying tolerances of wall thickness for increased burst pressure. Fillers are available to further optimize your tubing for your fluid management application. Zeus tubings are chemically inert to typical aerospace fluids such as JP fuels, Skydrol, De-icing, and Salt Spray.
- Fiber Optics – Materials used in fiber optics require superior process control. Our sheathing holds machine grade tolerances (0.001″ / 0.0254 mm) on plastic tubing used in fiber optics. Fillers can also be introduced with our performance resins for added robustness. Complementing our sheathing, Zeus’ coated optical fibers offer options where harsh operating environments may be encountered to improve resilience against abrasion, chemicals, radiation, and extreme temperatures.
