Aerospace is a demanding materials market where weight, safety, durability, traceability, and certified performance are essential. Xamax now offers North American access to selected Baltex aerospace technical textiles, bringing together Baltex’s decades of aerospace textile expertise with Xamax’s application-driven composite, nonwoven, film, laminate, and converting capabilities.
Baltex is recognized for advanced knitted fabrics used in aerospace applications, including fabrics approved for Boeing and Airbus programs. Baltex aerospace materials include polyester, meta-aramid, nylon, and related technical textile constructions designed for demanding applications such as aircraft seals, hoses, diaphragms, flexible reinforcements, interiors, netting, filtration, acoustic materials, and composite-related uses.
These fabrics are engineered for demanding performance characteristics, including strength-to-weight efficiency, durability, flexibility, abrasion resistance, thermal performance, flame resistance where required, and compatibility with rubber or composite systems. In rubber-reinforced applications, open knitted structures can allow rubber penetration and mechanical bonding during curing, helping create durable hoses, seals, and diaphragms capable of withstanding pressure, vibration, temperature variation, and fatigue.
For aerospace customers, Xamax offers more than access to material. Xamax provides North American technical support, responsive communication, converting expertise, and a collaborative development approach for customers seeking qualified, high-performance textile solutions. Applications include:
• Composite structures
• Sandwich panels
• Aircraft interiors
• Acoustic panels
• Tooling systems
• Resin infusion processes
• Advanced air mobility platforms
• Defense applications
