Description

  • VeeloHEAT Blanket is a non-metallic heating solution for advanced composite applications that demand excellent thermal uniformity, drapability and durability.

  • 24 month old technology that has been selected for major DoD production programs to bond multi-million dollar composite aerostructures. Helped customer reduce adhesive cure cycle-time from 24 to 2 hrs.  



Features

  • Lightweight, uniform heating solution for advanced composites 

  • Enables durable, lightweight, damage-tolerant and low-power ice protection systems

  • Tailored heating, density, areal weight, and thickness

  • Composite repair blankets

  • Heated debulks

  • Clean room elevated tool heating

  • Autoclave cycle time reduction



Benefits

  • Electrically efficient, fast heating and cooling

  • Highly uniform across large surface areas 

  • Conformable to complex curvature parts, such as engine inlets

  • Fatigue resistant 

  • Custom shapes

  • Can be trimmed to fit

  • Scalable for large tools



Applications

  • Out of autoclave and out of oven processing
