U.S. Rock West Partners with DPP to Launch Space-Grade STRATO Pultruded Profiles

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rock West Composites, an advanced composites company headquartered in California, announced the expansion of its STRATO product line through a partnership with DPP Pultrusion, introducing the new STRATOPultrusion series. This series of pultruded carbon fiber and fiberglass profiles targets next-generation space deployable systems, encompassing both solid and hollow profiles, offering grades suitable for Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and deep space applications, accompanied by airworthiness documentation.

The STRATO series provides space-qualified components such as panels, sandwich panels, and solar panel substrates for corporate and institutional customers, with lead times significantly shorter than custom products. Customers can purchase online through the Rock West Composites website.

STRATOPultrusion products meet key performance requirements in the space sector, including low outgassing, low or zero coefficient of thermal expansion, high-modulus materials, low creep behavior, and a wide operating temperature range.

Lead times for STRATOPultrusion rods and tubes range from four to eight weeks, with additional pultruded products to be launched in the future.

The company states that no other supplier currently offers pre-engineered, space-grade pultruded components with such short lead times and without non-recurring engineering costs.
