Flight-critical elastomers

Aerospace Manufacturing

AS9100-certified molding for seals, grommets, bumpers and vibration control on commercial and rotary-wing platforms.

How we support aerospace programs

Aerospace programs live or die on repeatability. SYNC builds aerospace parts inside an AS9100 quality system with full lot traceability from raw compound through final inspection, so the part you qualify in year one is the part you receive in year ten.

Our Carson City plant runs thermoset, silicone and LSR molding for flight hardware, with rubber-to-metal bonded assemblies for mounts and isolators. First article inspection reports, certificates of conformance and material certifications ship with every lot.

Typical applications

Parts we make for this market

  • O-rings, seals and gaskets
  • Vibration isolators and mounts
  • Grommets, bumpers and edge trim
  • Environmental and fluid seals
  • Bonded rubber-to-metal assemblies

Materials

Commonly specified compounds

  • Silicone (VMQ)
  • Fluorosilicone (FVMQ)
  • Fluorocarbon (FKM)
  • EPDM
  • Nitrile (NBR)

We compound in house, so this list is a starting point rather than a catalog. If your application needs a formulation that does not exist yet, that is a conversation we are set up to have.

Let's talk about your aerospace program.

Engineering questions, material selection, tooling strategy — start with a conversation, not a form letter.
