High-Performance, High-Temperature Polymers for the Aerospace Industry
Allegheny Performance Plastics has been producing high-performance, high-temperature polymer parts for the commercial and defense aerospace industry for over 35 years. We have more than 300 complex parts and assemblies integrated into the most modern aircraft platforms flying around the world.
Some of the largest aerospace and defense original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier I, and Tier II suppliers rely on us to design and manufacture these critical high-temperature polymer components. We’re also leveraging our capabilities and expertise to expand our production capabilities to include components for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Our aerospace certifications include:
- AS9100 Rev D: AS9100 takes the ISO 9001 standard and supplements it with additional quality system measures, which are established by the aerospace industry to satisfy DOD, NASA, and FAA quality requirements.
- International Traffic in Arms (ITAR): ITAR is a set of export control regulations mandated by the U.S. Government. They’re designed to help ensure that defense-related technology doesn’t get into the wrong hands.
