Aerospace plastics with low outgassing typically come from high-quality materials and well-controlled manufacturing processes.
Plastics that are molded by extrusion or injection can hold gas in tiny Pockets as they solidify. These trapped gas bubbles can expand and blow tiny holes in the plastic’s surface, releasing the gas—outgassing—when exposed to heat, sunlight, or time.
Outgassing, like offgassing, occurs when certain materials are exposed to space’s vacuum. Because their creations will be subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations as a result of the sun’s unfiltered radiation, outgassing can be a significant challenge for spacecraft engineers.
When a non-metallic material like a polymer, adhesive, rubber, or potting compound or epoxy is subjected to heat or a vacuum, the process known as outgassing occurs. Eventually, this gas will condense on other materials, rendering them inoperable.
The Global Aerospace Low outgassing plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Momentive has contributed to the advancement of aerospace. Silicone products from Momentive are necessary for the assembly and operation of military platforms, spacecraft, and aircraft.
