PVDF

PVDF grades combine electrical conductivity with mechanical flexibility and chemical resistance. Built for electrically active components and static-safe structures, they enable both conductive and ESD-safe use in demanding environments, with strong chemical resistance plus RAM / EMI shielding. They hold controlled surface resistivity in the ESD-safe range while staying flexible and impact-resistant, so parts get static protection without going brittle.

Aveo Hybrid Composites for Radar, EMI, ESD Masking

Composites
Aveo hybrid composite carbon-weave sheet

For radar, EMI and ESD masking.

Aveo has built airframe composites for over 13 years, including the General Atomics Predator winglets, which Aveo has developed and manufactured 100% in-house to this day. Since 2013, Aveo Group has invested in alternative composite fabrics and resins, and six years ago began developing flax natural composites and graphene blends. The mix now includes proprietary synthetic and natural ingredients, natural and polymer/glass fibers, carbon nanotubes and nanocoatings, developed by Aveo and the small technology partners it has invested in.

Aveo has brought all of this to additive manufacturing, producing the same components in 3D printing to its own specifications, ingredients, processes and materials, the same it applies across defense, space, aeronautical, marine and vehicle markets.

Today Aveo delivers commercial hybrid composites made from natural materials and green resins, used in many of its civil aviation products. Unique blends of hemp, basalt and polymer, with aluminum coatings applied at 600°C, produce unmatched performance and material specifications, including stealth-grade ESD, EMI and RAM characteristics.

Performance
  • Up to 99.7% radar absorption
  • IR signature reduction
  • EMI shielding
  • Electrical and thermal conductivity
  • High mechanical strength at low weight
  • Up to 70% lower friction
  • Properties tuned by varying graphene amount and type
Measured reflection loss (RAM)

Broadband absorber. Sustained absorption across the frequency sweep.

Aveo's nano-level coatings, applied at very high temperatures, give its materials characteristics standard materials lack. For electromagnetic shielding, they deliver clear quality and cost advantages over existing options like pure aluminum fibers, foils and sheets.

Controlled and tunable

Precise, controlled coating with adjustable thickness and a choice of thin or thick core fibers.

Nanomaterial based

The coated fibers use nanomaterials for real quality and performance gains.
