High-temperature, fire-resistant materials bridge CFRP and CMC thermal and cost gap

CAMX 2024: Pyromeral Technology features its Pyromeral family of fiber-reinforced materials — PyroKarb, PyroSic and PyroXide — with novel ceramic matrices achieving high-temperature capabilities.

 

For 40 years, Pyromeral Technology (Barbery, France and Sunnyvale, Calif., U.S.) has been developing innovative materials and composite parts to meet the challenges of high-temperature and fire-resistant applications. The company highlights these capabilities through the Pyromeral family of materials. 

 

Pyromeral composite materials, marketed under PyroKarb, PyroSic and PyroXide, feature proprietary ceramic matrices that are derived from alumino-silicate-based geopolymeric systems. According to the company, they differ significantly from organic polymers and conventional ceramic matrices in that they can be processed with a low-temperature autoclave cure and one free-standing post-cure. This not only reduces lead times and complexity to produce high-temperature composite parts, but also improves affordability.
