Ranges of application
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.
Special material characteristics
- extremely high ablation resistance
- strong thermal insulation
- low specific weight
- high thermal stability
- low ablation rate
- resistance against sea water and general chemicals
