Description

A proven, cost effective, highly automated, consistent, and predictable manufacturing process with rapid production rates will be implemented to manufacture high quality, self-sealing aviation fuel bladders. Our unique manufacturing process and our associated polymer technology will introduce a bladder that effectively alleviates fuel leakage potentials, through a material that is highly resistant to fuel, chemicals, puncture, abrasion and ballistic intrusion. Our technology will provide the DoD with significant reductions to battle damage hazards and loss of assets. Mission-critical combat systems will remain in service without compromising safety or performance of the aircraft. Our novel manufacturing process and self-sealing technology will have widespread use in diverse aerospace, marine, automotive, transportation, and general industrial markets.
