• Higher Vibration Damping - Less vibration is transmitted into the cabin promoting a quieter environment.
• Cost Effective - Incorporates the technology of both vibration damping and acoustical insulation results in a more cost effective system.
• Reduced Weight Over Frame Blanket - another benefit of incorporating two technologies.
• Custom Enhancements - Tune fabrics to dampen target frequencies. Add water repellant and/or anti-microbial properties.

Atvantage^® – Composite Structural Core and Composite Insulating Core

Engineered for specific end uses, Atvantage^® provides compressive strength, flame retardancy, acoustic attenuation, and thermal insulation, while achieving a balance between product performance, life, and cost. 

Atvantage^® is available in structural cores and insulating cores.

Composite Structural Core (CSC): Mechanically interlocked in an isotropic array with chemical enhancements, CSC provides acoustic, thermal, and vibration attenuation while maintaining all structural properties… even in complex shapes including strength, stiffness, thickness, and uniformity. 

By adjusting fiber blends and resins, CSC is engineered to be manufacturing compatible with your fabricating processes. It can be used in many product designs, including those that must meet requirements for FAR 25.853, BAC-5564, and U.L. 94 HB Tests. 

Although CSC is widely found in the aerospace and automotive industries, it is also popular in the medical and marine environments. Applications range from military shelters to amusement rides. 

Products and features:

• CSC001 – an advanced composite made from high performance fibers.
• CSC002 – a superiorly engineered, economical composite made from polyester fibers.
• CSC004 – engineered from high performance fibers with chemical enhancements. 
• CSC005, CSC006 – meets aerospace requirements to be lighter and thinner.   Available in a wet moldable state that is contained in an air tight environment without requiring refrigeration. 
• TCSC07 – thermo-formable composite is a variable stiffener and an acoustical and thermal insulator. Designed to eliminate the use of foam for durable long-term exposure to the outdoors.

Composite Insulating Core (CIC): CIC’s superior design offers exceptional insulating properties where stability in high temperature environments is required.  CIC is a structured fiber array; constructed using advanced manufacturing techniques. It can be chemically enhanced but does not need woven fabric support.

CIC is compatible with your fabricating processes and can be used in many product designs, including those that must pass tough industry standards such as FAR 25.853, U.L 94 HB, and BAC-5564.

Products and features:

• CIC001 – pliable. Lightweight with low density and an insulating batting.  It fills problematic and intricate voids and is a thermal and acoustical insulator.
• CIC002, CIC003, CIC008, CIC008 – stable. Consistent Z-axis integrity provides uniform thickness and density. It has enhanced dimensional stability while resisting shedding or linting. 
• CIC007 – enhanced. Excellent repellency against oil and water with superior dimensional stability. Outstanding Velcro® compatibility for easy structural attachment
• CIC010, CIC011 – resilient.  Rapid compressive recovery ensuring surface uniformity, long life undeterred by environmental factors, and conforms to intricate spatial configurations
• CIC012 – cushioning. Advanced Z-axis resiliency provides uniform thickness and density for airline seating. It's easily shaped and contoured for improved comfort.
• CIC021 – economical. Synthetic insulation pad that is both resilient and economical. Designed to be t hermally stable up to 300° F.

Breather/Bleeder Cloths

National Nonwovens’ provides premium breather cloths for composite processing.  The breather cloths’ unique composition enables volatile gas and resin to evaporate during curing.  Advanced design technology provides increased absorption, uniform thickness, and consistent permeability making these breather cloths and excellent choice for bleeder cloths.  

BRE002 - Product features:

• Material is resilient, soft, and moldable
• Intense maximum use temperature with ranges reaching 400° F
• Flame retardant capabilities can be added

Dual Density – Multi-Section, Long Life Filter - A true dual density filter.  The first filter section is open, springy, and resilient with high denier and low density.  The second filter section contrasts by being thin, stiff, rigid, and dense with fine denier.  Together, they make a high-depth loading, long life filter perfect for automotive carbon canisters.   It is also excellent for vacuum cleaners, furnace and air conditioner filters, and pleated filters. 

Filter 12 – innovative vapor neutralizing filter - Stops odors by neutralizing harmful vapors.  This innovative filter is extremely effective on formaldehyde, a potential carcinogen found in hospitals and laboratories. Patented fiber is durable and resists tearing, even when saturated. Incineration of filter is clean and efficient with reduced threat of exposure.

Medical Composite Products

Emergency Cooling Cloths - first aid for heat illness, emergencies, and hyperthermic conditions. Superabsorbent fibers "lock in" water, reducing body temperature during heat emergencies.  While stabilizing vital body functions, material soothes and comforts victims of heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and other hyperthermic conditions.   Evaporative cooling method allows cloth to be reused in future traumas. 

Formaldehyde Neutralizer Pads – Dramatically minimizes exposure to formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde Neutralizer Pads offer a way to significantly reduce exposure by chemically neutralizing formaldehyde and encapsulating the escaping vapors within the pad.

SureSorb^® - Super absorbent clinical pads for after-life applications. SureSorb^® minimizes exposure and transmission of aerosol and solution based pathogens by absorbing, encapsulating, and retaining bio-hazardous fluids with patented fiber technology. Patented fibers absorb and retain up to 60 times their own weight in fluids (pictured right).  Work area stays drier and cleaner.scaping vapors within the pad.
