In the unforgiving vacuum of space, a silent phenomenon known as outgassing can pose a significant threat. Outgassing is the process where materials, under the influence of vacuum or high temperatures, release trapped by-products such as water v***r, gases, oil, or additives.

Choosing materials for space applications isn’t just about strength and durability. It’s also about understanding and mitigating the risks of outgassing. Outgassing can lead to significant complications for satellites or spacecraft, subtly affecting vital components like electronics, optics, and sensors. Moreover, it can even present health hazards, adding another layer of complexity to this issue.

These by-products are often trapped in materials during the manufacturing process. Therefore, employing state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques that yield superior materials with minimal outgassing potential is paramount. This is where The Gund Company’s expertise shines, providing top-tier materials crafted with cutting-edge techniques ready to meet the challenges of space exploration. With our materials, you can feel confident in the safety and reliability of your space technology.

Insulating composite materials is crucial to withstand the mechanical stresses and extreme temperatures of magnetic fields in fusion energy generation. As electromagnets become more popular for commercially viable fusion generators, understanding material selection for these composite materials is essential for scientists and engineers.

The Gund Company, a custom composites manufacturer, specializes in engineered high-pressure laminate composites like NEMA G-10, FR-4, G-11, and the newly introduced G-15. NEMA G-10 and FR-4 are known for their exceptional electrical properties and chemical and heat resistance, making them durable and versatile insulating composite materials.

NEMA G-15, on the other hand, is a next-generation thermoset composite made from woven fiberglass and a unique blend of high-temperature resin binders. Its mechanical and insulating properties remain intact up to 500°F, making it ideal for applications beyond typical NEMA grades. G-15 excels in electromagnetic confinement within fusion generators.

Collaborating directly with engineers, The Gund Company designs customized solutions, including next-gen composite materials and specialty molded shapes, per our customers' specifications to meet the critical needs of the nuclear energy industry.
