TripleZero TPS 300 is a member of Blueshift Materials’ AeroZero® Thermal Protection Systems line, built from three 165 micron (6.5 mil) AeroZero® polyimide aerogel films bonded together with a 25.4 micron (1 mil) high-performance silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, for a total laminate thickness of 570 µm (22.4 mil) and a density of 0.40 g/cm³. The construction is designed to deliver ultra-thin, lightweight thermal insulation that can be applied to complex part geometries while enhancing the thermal endurance of the protected component, with a thermal conductivity of 0.036 W/m·K at 25 °C.
The laminate retains its performance to a glass transition temperature of 305 °C (580 °F) and a decomposition temperature of 400 °C (600 °F), and passes the FAR Part 25 Appendix F 12 second vertical burn test in addition to carrying a UL94 V-0 vertical burn rating. The PSA side is protected by a release liner that is peeled off at the point of application, allowing permanent bonding to carbon fiber composites, glass-reinforced composites, polymers (PEEK, polyimides, PET), and metals including aluminum, steel, and titanium. Compliant with FAR Part 25 Appendix F (12 s vertical burn, Part 1(a)(1)(ii)) and UL94 V-0.
What differentiates TripleZero TPS 300 from other thermal protection film constructions?
TripleZero TPS 300 combines three laminated AeroZero® polyimide aerogel films into a single ultra-thin, 570 µm (22.4 mil) construction with a low thermal conductivity of 0.036 W/m·K at 25 °C, a Pass on the FAR Part 25 Appendix F 12 second vertical burn test, and a UL94 V-0 rating — delivering flame-rated thermal insulation in a flexible, self-adhesive film that can be applied directly to complex part geometries.
Why is flammability performance critical for TripleZero TPS 300 in aerospace and battery applications?
Because the laminate is applied as a thermal barrier on components such as battery housings and aerospace parts, its Pass on the FAR Part 25 Appendix F 12 second vertical burn test and its UL94 V-0 vertical burn rating confirm that it resists flame propagation and self-extinguishes rapidly, which is essential for protecting adjacent structures and occupants in the event of thermal runaway or fire exposure.
What is the service temperature range for TripleZero TPS 300?
The laminate has a glass transition temperature (AeroZero Tg, DMA) of 305 °C (580 °F) and a decomposition temperature (10 wt% loss, TGA) of 400 °C (600 °F), as measured per ASTM E1640 and ASTM E2550 respectively.
Is TripleZero TPS 300 suitable for flame-rated aerospace and defense environments?
Yes. TripleZero TPS 300 is compliant with FAR Part 25 Appendix F (12 s vertical burn, Part 1(a)(1)(ii), Pass) and carries a UL94 V-0 vertical burn rating.
How should TripleZero TPS 300 be specified?
Specify grade (TripleZero TPS 300), thickness, adhesive type, compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
