Precision Heating Technology for Advanced Applications
The Advanced Composites Group (ACG), a joint establishment between Niles International and Boyce Components, develops cutting-edge heating technologies. Using materials like nano-enhanced resins and expanded copper foils, we create efficient and durable solutions for industries like aerospace, automotive, and high-performance housing.
Our process combines copper foils with carbon nanofibers or nanotubes in resins to produce advanced heaters for surfaces, tools, and composite structures.
Composites are used across industries for their versatility, and integrating internal heating opens up new possibilities. This technology can revolutionize product development while improving efficiency.
- Enables new heated products to enter the market.
- Improves the design and efficiency of existing heaters.
- Eliminates the need for autoclaves using our proprietary resin blending process with Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT) and Carbon Nano Fibers (CNF).
- Leaves the heating element embedded directly in the composite part for use in applications.
Composite materials for aircraft, like wings and fuselages, are typically made using large industrial autoclaves. The Advanced Composites Group has developed a more efficient solution using CNT and CNF films for heating and solidifying these composites.
- Eliminates the need for massive autoclaves with advanced heating films.
- Films heat and solidify composites when powered and layered on polymer materials.
- The embedded heating system can also de-ice or heat aircraft surfaces after assembly.
Radiant heating has evolved to maximize performance, and our patented resin blending and customizable designs are set to lead the way. Soon UL-approved, our low-mass radiant heating panels generate heat within minutes—no standard mechanical equipment needed.
- Heaters can be customized to fit most applications.
- Serve a variety of industries:
- Transportation, infrastructure, military, aerospace, and green technologies.
- Medical, telecommunications, horticulture, and food services.
- Waterparks, pools, and spas.
