Aircraft Braking Systems

Norplex-Micarta, the leading manufacturer of high performance thermoset composites, announced its NP515LS material has been selected for use in braking systems by major airline manufacturers. The material has excellent thermal properties and a low degree of shrinkage, making it ideal for high-impact, highheat environments. As a result of a qualification process by a major supplier, many of the world�s aircraft manufacturers will now use it as a thermal insulator between components in their braking systems.

NP515LS combines a woven glass fabric with a phenolic resin system to form a high-strength, high-temperature thermal insulator between dissimilar components that expand and contract at different rates under varying degrees of heat and pressure.
