Veelo Technologies, Cincinnati, has introduced a new metalized nonwoven advanced material to the growing aerospace and defense composites protection market. The company’s VeeloVEIL, a metalized nonwoven advanced material, is now available in 3 mOHM/sq, 55 grams per square meter with >95% electrical uniformity in a 36-inch wide continuous product form.
At 3 mOHM/sq, VeeloVEIL offers twice the specific conductivity of expanded copper foil at 195 grams per square meter, and 7-150 times higher performance than other available metalized nonwovens. Additionally, VeeloVEIL provides EMI shielding effectiveness and meets the aerospace and defense industry’s most stringent Zone 1A Lightning Strike Protection requirement.
“VeeloVEIL is lightest, most electrically conductive and electrically uniform advanced material, designed to protect composite air vehicles from electromagnetic effects as well as lightning strikes. Expanding our production capacity to a 36-inch continuous form allows VeeloVEIL to be used in a wider variety of applications,” said Larry Christy, director of research and development at Veelo Technologies.
VeeloVEIL is available with tailored resistivities from 3-40 mOHM/sq and basis weights from 20-55 grams per square meter. As well as, available in dry reinforcement, film adhesive, or surfacing film.
