Non-Burning Composites

KiON Defense Technologies, Inc. (KDT) polysilazane resins are very effective matrices for the manufacture of composites that are non-burning.  Polysilazanes have the unique ability of undergoing a high temperature condensation process which converts the polymer to a ceramic.  Thus, composites fabricated with KDT polysilazanes maintain their mass upon exposure to high temperatures as they form a coherent, strong ceramic “char”.  In addition to being non-burning, composites fabricated with KDT polysilazanes also do not generate smoke, have exceptional impact and wear resistant and have excellent chemical resistance.  These non-burning composites can be easily fabricated using low-cost pressureless processes.

Benefits of Using KDT Polysilazanes for Non-Burning Composites

  • Non-burning, no smoke generation
  • Flame Spread <25 (Class A) and smoke generated <450 (Class A) based on ASTM E-84
  • Excellent wear and impact resistance
  • Chemical resistant
