Pyromeral Technology (Sunnyvale, Calif., U.S.) manufactures a family of high-temperature ceramic matrix composites (CMC) to bridge the thermal and cost gap between carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) and traditional CMC. On Nov. 12, the company announced that it has received a suite of key certifications: AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 quality certifications, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registration and certification under the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP).
Achieving these quality certifications demonstrates Pyromeral’s commitment to aerospace manufacturing excellence. With ITAR registration and JCP certification U.S. defense customers can now benefit from Pyromeral’s thermal management solutions for a wide range of critical components, including engine heat shields, supersonic and hypersonic fins, external skins and radomes.
Pyromeral also passed all quality audit requirements to earn its AS9100D certification, which encompasses ISO9001:2015, validating Pyromeral’s quality management system (QMS) against the rigorous standards of the aerospace industry. This provides a robust framework for ensuring safety, reliability and continuous improvement across all processes. ITAR registration and JCP certification are critical for compliance in defense manufacturing, safeguarding sensitive technologies while facilitating collaboration within the defense supply chain.
The Pyromeral family of geo-polymer CMC are said to bring a lightweight and convenient alternative to metallic heat shields, ducts and other components exposed to sustained temperatures from 350-2000°F and higher. Compared to organic polymers and conventional ceramic matrices, they can be processed with a low-temperature autoclave cure and one freestanding post-cure. Pyromeral materials, marketed under the names PyroKarb, PyroSic and PyroXide, save 70% weight compared to titanium.
Pyromeral materials are used across a wide array of industries ranging from aerospace and defense to battery thermal runaway protection and containment in the advanced air mobility market.
