  • a certified quality assurance system

HeBoSint® High Performance Materials in Space

Extreme requirements in rocket propulsion

Nozzles of hybrid propulsion systems (solid/liquid propellants) must be oxidation resistant; for nozzles in satellite ion beam propulsion systems electrically insulating materials are required. In both applications the materials must also comply with fundamental requirements: low weight, extreme temperature resistance as well as high stability under mechanical loads occurring during start-ups.

HeBoSint®: low density coupled with maximum load capacity

HeBoSint®, sintered Boron Nitride components from HENZE have proven their worth many times in space technology. Owing to its oxidation resistance and to its outstanding thermo-mechanical performance HeBoSint® is considered the pre-eminent high temperature material for rocket propulsion systems.

HeBoSint® also fully meets the requirements of innovative concepts such as ion beam propulsion systems for satellites or hybrid rockets.
