Hi-Temp Insulation's broad range of abilities in the sewing segment is unmatched in the Aircraft, Missile, and Space industries.
Working closely with material manufactures, we have developed fabrication techniques for a variety of materials; including carbon, graphite, ceramic, and nicalon. We continually provide sample insulation blankets to major contractors and government agencies for testing.
This experience has made us the primary supplier of sewn insulation blankets on such critical programs as the Boeing 777 Commercial Aircraft, Delta and Atlas Launch Vehicles and the Space Shuttle.
To protect and seal sewn insulation blankets, Hi-Temp Insulation uses a wide variety of facing materials including coated fabrics, mylars, and films. In addition, using stainless steel thread, foils up to .002 thick can be sewn to insulation blankets for liquid proof protection at high operating temperatures.
We also specialize in diamond quilted blankets as specified in Mil-I-7171 for thermal and acoustical applications. In addition, our custom designed sewing machines are able to quilt blankets up to 60" wide and 2" thick. We use an interlocking quilt pattern that secures the insulation between the inner and outer facing fabrics even if a thread breaks. This unique method was used to fabricate the white exterior panels for the Space Shuttle.
