All about wicks
Let us forget our age of high technology for a second and have a purely scientific look at the mechanics of a candle flame. When we light the wick of a candle, the heat of the flame melts the wax.
Technical braids in aerospace engineering
Space stations, spacecrafts and conventional aerocrafts require technical braids.
In the field of aerospace engineering, lightweight and robust technology is key. Technical braids are helpful in a range of applications, as they weigh little and stabilise flexible materials effectively.
How exactly are technical braids used in aerospace engineering?
The material used in satellites is subject to extreme temperature variation in space – it needs to ensure maximal functionality without the option of maintenance. Technical braids made from special fibres offer thermal protection, flame retardation and insulation functions; they flexibly bundle cables and seal plugs in extremely hot environments without generating dust. In aviation, the requirements are less extreme than in aerospace engineering, but the applications are nevertheless highly demanding. Please feel free to get in touch and tell us about your specific requirements – our development team will be happy to create the right product for you.
