​
Current fuel cells use WWII-era uncured rubber to self-seal ballistic damage. The rubber swells in aromatic fuels to plug the holes. Once the reaction happens, it is irreversible and over time degrades the entire tank.

Our advanced blend of elastomeric polymers and additives self-heal when punctured, improving aircraft and aircrew safety through greater ballistic protection and reduced weight.
