MAKO prepregs and adhesives meet stringent military and customer specifications, offering exceptional durability, onshore supply chain, resistance to extreme conditions, and superior impact resistance. We are a fully US-owned and operated site, located in Henderson, NV, USA.
Our prepregs are developed in collaboration with your engineers to provide an offset to legacy prepregs and film adhesives, or to design-in to new platforms. MAKO adhesives and primers feature excellent adhesion properties, ensuring strong, reliable bonds between various materials, which is vital for the integrity of composite structures and assemblies. With customizable formulations, MAKO prepregs can be tailored to meet your specific operational requirements, including radomes, nozzles, nosecones, BMI ducts, TPS materials, drone components, submersibles, UAV, ballistic defense, missiles and satellites. MAKO resins comply with the highest military standards and regulations, ensuring safety, performance, and quality. By choosing MAKO, you invest in materials that not only boost the effectiveness and reliability of your military equipment but also reduce supply chain risks while prioritizing the safety and protection of your personnel. Our short lead-time materials further strengthen your supply chain, improving logistics and efficiency without compromising on performance. Trust MAKO Advanced Materials to deliver the superior performance and durability your missions demand.
The military industry needs MAKO for its US-based manufacture of advanced prepreg and adhesive systems that deliver unmatched strength, durability, and versatility. Our materials ensure robust performance under extreme conditions, offering superior resistance to harsh environments, including extreme temperatures and chemical exposure. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, MAKO composite materials enhance mobility and fuel efficiency, while providing top-tier impact and ballistic protection to safeguard personnel and equipment. Our team has decades of experience in testing and qualifying to material specifications and Mil standards. Trust MAKO to elevate your military operations with cutting-edge materials designed for excellence.
MAKO prepregs and adhesive films are used in the production of ballistic and impact-resistant armor for vehicles and personnel. These materials help create lightweight yet strong composite materials that provide enhanced protection against projectiles and shrapnel for passing V50, MIL-STD-662, and your unique requirements for projectile, velocity, and cost/weight constraints.
MAKO prepregs are designed-in to the latest reconnaissance and combat drones for their fast cure cycle times and tailored stiffness for various locations on the vehicle. We collaborate with your engineers to determine which products best fit the design allowables of your craft. Low cost solutions are discussed with your procurement team to create a partnership for an overall win.
MAKO Aerofin ablative prepregs and molding compounds are used in the manufacture of high temperature parts and nozzles for military applications. New, more robust supply chains have been formed to reduce lead time and bottlenecks of entrenched material supply chains. Mako Aerofin was created for urgent ramp-up in production of the next generation of SRM propulsion.partnership for an overall win.
Resins from our partner PTM&W are used as encapsulants and coatings for electronic components and avionics, protecting them from environmental factors, vibration, and mechanical damage. This ensures the reliability and longevity of critical electronic systems.
MAKO provides continued support in manufacturing prepregs and film adhesives for older aircraft still in service. Material specifications might call for discontinued or long lead time, high price materials – that’s where we can make an equivalent performing replacement. Contact MAKO, and with our extensive experience in qualifying materials to customer specifications, we can partner to develop a material that is added to your drawing or customer specification for cost and lead time reduction and a more robust supply chain that avoids sole-source risk.
At MAKO Advanced Materials, we make custom prepregs to meet military specifications, old and new. Collaborate with our experts to author a new material spec, or to create a composite material that can meet or exceed and an existing spec.
