Case Study
A leading OEM specializing in mission-critical aerospace systems partnered with MPC to develop a set of paper-moving components for a cockpit data visualization system, where precision, durability, and regulatory compliance were paramount. The application required silicone parts with bonded metal subcomponents, highly specific material properties, and strict adherence to flame resistance standards for aviation environments. MPC’s engineering team collaborated closely with the customer to identify a silicone formulation that met both mechanical and regulatory demands, while designing a robust bonding process to ensure long-term durability. Through iterative prototyping and validation, MPC delivered production-ready components that enabled the OEM to confidently integrate the solution into its next-generation cockpit systems.
