“I will touch on a number of the challenges faced by industry when manufacturing and processing composites, and present innovative solutions we manufacturer here at Veelo. For example, our customers are dramatically reducing adhesive cure time with the use of VeeloHEAT Blanket. The cure time of adhesives in the aerospace market today are a limiting factor in throughput, as the cycle time for room temperature curing adhesives and sealants can takes upwards of 24 hours or more. I will discuss how by using VeeloHEAT Blankets, these adhesives can be cured in under 2 hours, even as low as an hour when cured at an elevated temperature of 180°F or higher depending on the adhesive chemistry.”

VeeloVEIL is an extremely light and conductive metallized nonwoven used by the aerospace industry to protect composite aerostructures from environmental and man-made hazards, and improve survivability.

Veelo Technologies was awarded $2.9M to accelerate the manufacturing readiness level of VeeloVEIL, a patent-pending advanced material for electrically conductive composite systems on commercial aerospace and defense platforms. VeeloVEIL is an ultra-lightweight, highly conductive material that meets the most stringent lightning strike protection, EMI shielding, and other electromagnetic effect requirements.

Veelo Technologies, an advanced materials company that partners with the world’s leading companies to improve the performance of high-value systems including commercial and military aerospace assets, has successfully completed its expansion into a new manufacturing facility. The new facility, located near GE Aviation’s global headquarters in Cincinnati OH, supports Veelo’s growth in electrically conductive materials and heating solutions for the fast growing aerospace composites industry.

Effective November 1, 2018, Veelo Technologies® expanded its operations and is moving to a new manufacturing facility to support the company’s current and future growth. The company’s product portfolio is experiencing new customer adoption for lightning strike protection and EMI shielding, electro-thermal deicing, and heating solutions for composite repair and out-of-autoclave/out-of-oven composite manufacturing.

Advanced Metallized Nonwoven for Lightning Strike Protection and Electromagnetic Environmental Effects

Developed with aerospace and defense customers to meet the most stringent lightning strike protection and electromagnetic environment effects requirements in composite air vehicles.

2015  Supplier of the Year — Technology

The Boeing Company, the world’s largest aerospace company, announced this recognition April 13, 2016 at Boeing’s Global Supplier Conference at the Washington State Convention Center.

This marks the second win for General Nano | Veelo™ since 2013. 

General Nano | Veelo™ is on the rise and industry experts are taking notice. 

Veelo BLAC™, a super-black material that absorbs more than 99.6 percent of light, will be traveling to space as part of NASA’s Earth Science CubeSat Program on a 2018 mission to the International Space Station.

Vast opportunities exist in the aerospace, defense, and satellite industries. With aircraft demand doubling every 15 years, the composite segment of the air vehicle market is a $10 billion market opportunity. Satellite optics, just one component of a satellite, have an average price of $14 million.

Innovation. Leadership. Business acumen. These are the combination of skills that have enabled General Nano to repeatedly earn recognition for engineering innovation in the highly competitive world of startup technology companies.

The fast-growing DOD markets have a symbiotic relationship with high-tech manufacturing and technology startups.

Since inception, General Nano has nimbly responded to evolving marketplace needs. During one critical juncture, General Nano decided to transition from manufacturing carbon nanotubes in fibrous material form to manufacturing carbon nanotubes in sheet and material form.

From inception through present day, General Nano has been a rising start in the Cincinnati high tech manufacturing ecosystem. Take a look back at this interview broadcast by CBS Affiliate WKRC Cincinnati to see some early successes General Nano has built upon to reinvent multifunctional materials.

Lightweight, Multifunctional Products

Impacting 21st century priorities in sustainability and science requires new technologies. This is the purpose of Veelo™ — a new class of advanced material products that General Nano is proud to launch with its customers and partners.

From the inception of the company in 2008, the United States Air Force has been at the forefront of supporting General Nano’s vision to innovate advanced materials that impact 21st century defense and commercial priorities.
