HI-TECH FOAMS offers a variety of specialty foams for confortable seating, crash protection and noise and vibration control. 

Confor™ Foam is an open cell elastomeric, ergonomic, urethane foam (formerly Temperfoam™) has been recognized as the best seat cushion available for comfort and impact safety since its development for  the Apollo Space Program. It offers enduring seating comfort, absorbs a much higher amount of impact shock compared to common polyfoam and it is flame resistant. Ideal for the disabled in wheelchairs, persons who sit for long periods of time at the computer, sewing machine, car, airplane, race car, over the road semi, and recreational vehicles. In addition, the company supplies several products including inflatable lumbar supports for the construction of seats.  

In aviation applications Confor™ Foam's unique ability to absorb impact and vibration provides a safety factor for aircraft and helicopter seating. It meets FAR 25.853, FAR 25.855, and CAL 117 burn specifications making it excellent for certified aircraft or homebuilts. 

Confor™ Foam comes in three different densities; soft, medium, and firm.  Each individual application will dictate which density or combination of densities to use. The best universal cushion for aircraft use is a 3" CF42/CF45/CF47 laminate. 

Confor™ Foam  is usually sold in standard seat sizes (16X18) or increments of 16X18 (see example).  Sheet sizes are 36X80. Available dimensions 1" X 16" X 18", 2" X 16" X 18" and 3" X 16" X 18". Some special sizes in 1", 2", or 3" thicknesses are also available on special request.

HI-TECH FOAMS also offers Aircraft Damping Composites (ADC), aircraft skin and trim panel noise and vibration damping composites engineered to provide maximum performance with minimum weight.

HI-TECH FOAMS products meet the FAR burn specifications but they do not come standard with certificate of compliance for flammability. However, this may be requested  at the time of ordering for an additional fee.

TRIATIC INCORPORATED manufactures diamond and CBN (*) electroplated wheels, tools and other products for composite applications. They can be used for for applications in composites, fiberglass, ceramics, and other hard, abrasive materials. 

TRIATIC Diamond Countersinks are offered in various diameters and angles with or without slots and pilots, straight shanks or threaded shanks. The diamond coating is extremely tough and durable resulting in a tool with long life, reducing tool changes and unnecessary downtime. 

Their electroplated Diamond Coated Router Bits are available in a variety of sizes, with flat or round ends, with or without slots and coolant holes. The flat face is ideal for routing, slotting and trimming composites and other hard abrasive materials. The round end tools can be used to drill and form shapes. Slots enable quicker removal rates and improved clearance for deeper grinding. Coolant holes can be added for through coolant on the end of the tool and side ports.

TRIATIC also offers Diamond Saws, Circular, Hole & Jig. Their Saw Blades electroplated with 40/50 grit diamond are ideal for cutting off or slotting fiberglass and other fiber reinforced plastic and composite materials and alumina. Diamond hole saws cut more accurately, leave a smoother finish, and and last up to twice as long as carbide-grit-coated teeth. Electroplated diamond saw blades are for use on reinforced plastic, composites, stone, brick, and other abrasive materials with high silicon content. TRIATIC diamond saw blades are available with or without slots. Depending on the material, slots can help keep the diamond section free of loading, keeping the blade free cutting and cool. The diamond hole saws are unmounted but arbors are available if necessary.

(*) Diamond and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) are both extensively used materials in tooling. Both are extremely hard. Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon. CBN doesn't exist in nature and is synthesized from boron and nitrogen. Generally, diamond is preferred for shaping extremely hard workpiece materials such as ceramics, carbides, stone and glass. CBN is better suited for applications generating high temperatures. TRIATIC diamond tools can be used with fiberglass, carbon, FRP, ceramics, carbide, quartz, marble/granite and other non-ferrous abrasion-resistant materials. CBN can be used with high speed tool steels, die steels, harden carbon steels, monel, inconel, rene, waspalloy and other hard ferrous superalloys.

(**) The abbreviation OAL in different TRIATIC parts means Overall all Length.

Fabric-based composites are used considerably for applications in many different industriea including  aerospace, defense, automotive, marine, construction  and others. Depending on the appllication, the composite materials  and therefore the fabrics used for their production possess, are in most cases required to feature high durability and strength, light weight, and a meaningful cost for replacement of steel or other materials in different uses.

Different fabrics used for composite laminations come in different types such as knitted , woven, and nonwoven with woven fabrics often used as reinforcement materials. Textile-reinforced composite materials are generally lower priced and more widely available as they are increasingly being produced via automated rather than manual methods. Their textile fabrics are pre-formed in terms of weaving, knitting, braiding, stitching, nonwoven, and so on. The composition and structure of selected fabrics for reinforcement plays a significant role for achieving the expected performance characteristics from composites. 

Extending our product portfolio we offer a wide selection of reinforcement fabrics for the composites industry, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar®. Sourced by quality manufacturers or their distributors they come in in various weights and weaves, different widths (usually 38", 50" and 60"),  in rolls with cut to length capability in yards (YD) or packages of 1,3 or 5 yards. Some of our commonly demanded reinforcement fabrics include fiberglass fabrics featuring excellent strength, durability, and affordability, carbon fiber fabrics exhibiting high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent stiffness and DUPONT KEVLAR® brand aramid fabrics with their exceptional strength and resistance to impact making them a preferred choice in aerospace, and industrial applications requiring high tensile strength and toughness. Hybrid fabrics are also offered combining different types of fibers to achieve a balance between strength, stiffness, and cost.
