The Composites and Defence Systems business of Morgan Advanced Materials has been awarded the Canadian CM735 Combat Helmet contract. The improved helmet features an innovative ultra-lightweight hybrid composite structure, the result of more than three years of materials research and development and achieves outstanding ballistic performance at an extraordinarily low weight. Morgan’s extensive capabilities have supplied over one million combat helmets as part of the company’s LASA (Lightweight Armored Soldier Architecture) line of products.

Morgan Advanced Materials has made a further addition to its extensive product portfolio with the launch of a new range of high-temperature kiln furniture. Ideal for use at temperatures up to 1,700oC (3,092oF) under corrosive conditions, the launch of this new range in MgO-Spinel has been developed in response to the changing needs of the market.

Morgan Advanced Materials has launched an innovative interactive tool, allowing the comparison of thermal, economic and environmental performances of a variety of thermal insulation systems over the course of their working lifetimes.

The Silverback 3010 bomb disposal search suit offers a lightweight solution to enable extended duration bomb disposal missions in a high threat environment. The Silverback 3010 has been designed to provide high performance levels of protection against blast, low speed impact, fragment penetration and flame immersion whilst carrying out search, detection and disposal of explosive ordnance devices.

Offering highly reliable detection of air bubbles in medical dosing applications, the acclaimed range of air-in-line (AIL) sensors from Morgan Advanced Materials has been extended to provide two new capabilities in line with demand from medical original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Morgan Advanced Materials has developed a new, lighter weight, metallised current collector strip, based on proprietary material technology, which is set to bring a wide range of benefits for the rail sector.

The Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials has developed a versatile fibre, Superwool^® Sealcoat™ HT, which is suitable for use in nearly a dozen furnace lining applications. From primary liner to emergency repairs, and backup insulation to patching, the mastics are a perfect complement to Morgan’s range of fiber and dense refractory materials.

Morgan Advanced Materials has made two new additions to its extensive range of crucible coatings for the foundry sector.

As an increasingly precious resource, appropriate treatment of industrial or municipal waste water is vital to achieve maximum recyclability while minimising the use of valuable, expensively processed drinking water. In light of growing global resource shortages and the cost of processing ‘new’ fresh water, effective treatment of used water or water for non-potable use is vital to reducing overall process costs and helping companies meet their environmental targets, whether these are self-imposed or governed by legislation.

Morgan Advanced Materials is set to launch a new Ultrasonic transducer for measurement within the residential and industrial gas metering sector, optimising energy efficiency by offering customers greater transparency of energy consumption.
