Technical Materials For Aerospace Engineering
The Aerospace industry demands the highest performing, most reliable technical materials to protect their electronic assemblies.
Aerospace applications are normally of high tolerances and to a demanding finish of completed parts. The materials often used are of high performance in their range due to the demanding environment of Aircraft applications.
At Materials Direct we offer a wide range of high-quality materials and services to the Aerospace sector.
Commonly Sourced Materials in Aerospace Engineering
The most commonplace materials in Aerospace include: High performance Thermal interface materials, RFI pads, environmental gaskets, LED light shaping films and light-weighting / vibration damping materials
Typically the high thermally conductive materials in the TIM (thermal Interface materials) range are selected. The prices are therefore usually higher meaning the scrap rates need to be low and quality high for the parts.

Thermal Interface Materials
Electronics used in aerospace applications are becoming increasingly smaller, more powerful, and more complex, making them much hotter.
Thermal Interface materials allow design engineers to create better designs with more complete thermal management, starting at the device level.
Tapes & Adhesives
We supply the global aerospace industry with our durable line of tapes.
They can be used for a wide variety of applications including installation, repair, insulating, reinforcement, bonding, chemical and paint masking, and erosion protection.
Sealing Gaskets
We offer a wide range of sealing gasket materials, custom cut to meet a wide range of applications.
Seals are some of the most important components of an aircraft, used in countless applications throughout a plane.
LED Optical Materials
LED lighting is gaining popularity in the aerospace industry as they deliver low maintenance, reliable illumination with long life, and low power consumption.
We offer a range of materials that help you to enhance the performance and durability of your LED lighting assemblies.
EMI / RFI Shielding
Aerospace engineers use EMI / RFI shielding to protect aircrafts against Electromagnetic and radio interferenceand ensure the safety and protection of mission-critical systems.
A wide range of our technical materials deliver high-quality EMI / RFI shielding to your applications or can be specially coated to do so.
Electrical Insulators
A part of an aircraft’s safe operations, it is important that its sensitive electrical components are protected both from interference, short circuits, and from heat.
Materials Direct offers an extensive range of electrical insulation materials suitable for aerospace applications.
