Performance Beyond the Atmosphere
Aerospace and defense applications demand components built for precision, consistency, and dependable performance. NIALTI develops custom elastomer solutions for specialized equipment and systems where material performance, dimensional requirements, and long-term reliability matter.
Engineered for Demanding Aerospace & Defense Applications
Aerospace and defense equipment can place demanding requirements on elastomer components, from tight dimensional needs and vibration control to environmental exposure and repeated use.
NIALTI works with customers to develop molded and bonded elastomer components around the requirements of the larger system. By considering materials, geometry, equipment interfaces, operating conditions, and manufacturing needs together, components can be developed with both application performance and repeatable production in mind.
Meeting Critical Performance Requirements
Aerospace and defense components may need to perform consistently across demanding operating conditions while meeting precise application and manufacturing requirements.
Tight Tolerances
Components may require controlled dimensions and consistent geometry to integrate properly within specialized equipment and assemblies.
Vibration & Shock

Materials Engineered Around Performance
Material selection for aerospace and defense components begins with understanding the application, operating environment, component function, and required performance.
- Temperature conditions
- Environmental exposure
- Wear and abrasion
- Repeated movement
- Application-specific exposure
- Long-term performance requirements
- Hardness
- Dimensional stability
- Load requirements
- Vibration and shock
- Component geometry
- Tight dimensional requirements
- Repeated operation
For bonded components, elastomer and substrate materials should be considered together. Geometry, material compatibility, bonding surfaces, loading, environmental conditions, and component function can all influence the appropriate construction.
Specific materials, tolerances, temperature ranges, and performance claims should be added after confirmation with NIALTI.
