COATING & LAMINATION PROCESS

Our first commercial material platform, Apex AeroTex, is developed for serving lighter-than-air product applications. The aerostat platform has been successfully demonstrated, while Fuel GuardTex is progressing through customer qualification.

Over the next three years, we will expand into thermal insulation and signature management materials, creating a scalable advanced materials portfolio serving defence, aerospace and industrial markets.

Four capabilities, one multilayered material technology platform.

Deep-science material

Polymer nanocomposite coating chemistry, polymer nanocomposite formulation, and fabric material and weave compatibility.

Engineered process

Specialised coating and laminating, RF welding, heat impulse sealing, and seam reinforcement.

Testing & QC

Co-located with IIT Delhi’s aerostat and airship material research groups. All critical testing, including mechanical strength, helium permeability and environmental durability, is available in-house.

System development

Partnered with system integrators throughout the product life cycle, from specification to delivered finished product and its maintenance.

From incorporation to scale up and commercialisation.
