Specialty Materials for Lightweighting in Aerospace Applications

In aerospace manufacturing, every ounce counts. Manufacturers are constantly seeking lightweight materials that help save weight without sacrificing performance. Building on our last material spotlight blog, we're highlighting lightweight die-cut materials that solve a wide variety of aerospace challenges, including brightness mitigation, thermal management, acoustic insulation, and EMI/RFI Shielding.

Faces of JBC: Andy Brady

In this Faces of JBC, we got a chance to talk to Andy Brady, the General Manager of our Madison, Wisconsin Center of Excellence. From working his way up from machine operator to general manager to his time on a dance competition TV show in the 80s, take a minute to learn what makes Andy a special part of the JBC Team.

Die-Cut Flexible Materials: Lighter, Scalable, Aerospace EMI/RFI Solutions

Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) is everywhere. For aerospace manufacturers, finding the right EMI/RFI shielding solution with enough dielectric strength to shield sensitive electronics without adding unnecessary weight can be a challenging task. In this blog, we take a look at five flexible, lightweight die-cut alternatives to traditional metal EMI/RFI shielding options.

Performance Materials for Brightness Mitigation in Satellites

As orbital satellites continue to fill our night skies, aerospace manufacturers have been finding innovative material solutions to brightness mitigation challenges, helping prevent satellites from obscuring the view of scientists on Earth attempting to study the sky. From silicone microchannel adhesives to lightweight, reflective films, this blog highlights innovative materials that satellite manufacturers are using to eliminate light pollution without sacrificing performance or functionality.
