Thermal Protection
Textum fabricates composite thermal protection systems that operate in both ablative and non-ablative regimes, addressing a wide variety of application needs including aeroshells and shrouds, heatshields, and flow paths. Textum is focused mainly on carbon-based composite solutions but has some flexibility to support non-carbon composite solutions as well. Textum does not provide final machining or coating services but can help you address those additional details with partner businesses if needed.

Hot Structures
Thermal protection systems sometimes have to do double duty and satisfy primary structural requirements as well. When that happens, the choices for how to approach the dual challenge shrink to a narrow subset of materials. C/C and CMC materials are required.

Solid Rocket Motors
Composites are used throughout solid rocket motor nozzle assemblies for weight optimization, but they introduce concerns about erosion resistance and thermal conductivity at the throat, in the insulation and support of throat materials, and protection of bond lines to metallic components. They may be designed to erode or retain shape stability, and Textum can address a wide range of need in terms of geometry, part size, environmental exposures, and mission durations.

Hypersonics
Flying fast is hard to endure. Our job isn’t to plan the mission or build the system, but we are ready to help your vehicle survive whatever path it takes, be it a reusable system or a one-time use. Everything we do in composite TPS, Hot Structures, and Solid Rocket Motors as well as High Temperature Seals, gets pushed to the edge of its performance envelope in the hypersonic mission
set. Our job is to keep producing high quality components at high rate as the requirements hit their upper limits.
