PTFE-COATED

Beta Cloth

Versiv Beta Cloth is a fibreglass fabric with an extremely tight weave. This composite also has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is coated with PTFE.

With low off-gassing, it’s ideally suited as a protective layer in satellites and other aerospace applications such as the International Space Station, where it is currently used.

Beta® is a registered trademark of Advanced Glassfiber Yarns LLC (AGY).

Beta cloth: Features and benefits

Light, strong, and exceptionally tightly-woven: The Beta fabric protects from atomic oxygen – especially when flying at low Earth orbit.
Exceptional flex fatigue resistance compared to standard coated fabrics.
Lightly coated to allow for low off gassing, making it ideal for space and aerospace missions.
Highly resistant to the effects of thermocycling, solar and vacuum ultraviolet radiation.
Ability to withstand harsh space conditions, serving as barrier and protection.
Chemically inert: Resistant to corrosion and Atomic Oxygen effects
Low electrical losses.
Non-flammable and fire resistant.
Non-silicone.

beta cloth in space Applications

Advanced Materials for Aeronautics & Astronautics

‍As the sole manufacturer of Beta Cloth we supply this low-outgassing, white PTFE-Coated Glass Cloth to the Space Market. As a passive thermal control solution, Beta Cloth applications include Multi-Layer Insulation, MMOD shielding, and protection from UV radiation and space plasma.

The very tight weave provides mitigation of the destructive effects of atomic oxygen (AO) in low-Earth (LEO) orbit. Beta Cloth contains no silicone, operates exceptionally well in the harsh space environment, and is found in Satellite, Launch Vehicle, Rovers, Space Habitats and Space Station interior and exterior surface protection applications. Standard Beta Cloth (BA 500BC) and ESD beta cloth (BA 500BCGW) are offered.

Strenge Teststandards

Versiv entwickelt maßgeschneiderte Anwendungstests, die auf den einzelnen Produktverwendungen unserer Partner basieren, um die bestmögliche Lösung zu finden. Einige Tests, die im Lieferumfang enthalten sind, aber nicht auf Umwelt-, Haltbarkeits- und Zuverlässigkeitstests beschränkt sind, geben Ihnen die Gewissheit, dass die Produkte in den rauesten Umgebungen funktionieren. Unsere Tests beginnen während des gemeinsamen Entwicklungsprozesses, um relevante Tests zu entwickeln und Daten zu sammeln, die es uns ermöglichen, schnell marktreife Lösungen zu entwickeln.
