S 5000®


Productimage - S 5000®

S 5000® protects objects against combustion and erosion caused by extremely hot and highly accelerated exhaust jets from rocket engines. S 5000® is also suitable as temporary high heated, extremely stressed components for example in rocket engines and welding tables.

  • extremely high ablation resistance

  • strong thermal insulation

  • low specific weight

  • high thermal stability

  • low ablation rate

  • resistance against sea water and general chemicals
