Greene Tweed, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance sealing solutions and engineered components, will be showcasing its Xycomp DLF high-performance thermoplastic composite aerospace brackets at the 2022 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), which will be held October 18-20, 2022, in the Orange County Convention Centre, Orlando, FL, Booth #1921.
Developed as part of Greene Tweed’s role as innovators in the evolution of aerospace, Xycomp DLF high performance thermoplastic composite brackets can endure the substantial demands of aerospace environments, while offering significant weight savings over metallic parts. They are 35% to 50% lighter than competitive metallic components, making them an excellent replacement for metal materials.
Greene Tweed uses its proprietary compression moulding system to produce complex-contour shapes for near-net, intricate geometry with moulded-in features such as bushings or attachment points. The material meets fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) safety requirements for interior aerospace parts, and offers excellent resistance to aerospace solvents, high temperatures, and high vibrations for extended component life. In addition, Xycomp DLF brackets can be recycled upon removal from an aircraft.
