R&D

GFT strives for excellence with a “can do” attitude and believes that there are no unsolvable problems, only undiscovered solutions.

Customers were asking for simpler solutions to their thermal insulation problems and GFT rose to the challenge. In response to customer needs, exhaustive GFT R&D efforts resulted in the Microscopic photo of hollow polyimide microspheresdevelopment of a revolutionary flexible foam from hollow polyimide microspheres … a polyimide foam that is extremely flexible, tough, durable, resilient, and that is safe and easy to install and use.

These patent pending technologies are PerForma-H® VersaFlex® Polyimide Thermal and Acoustic Insulation and PerForma-H® VersaFlex® Foam-Filled Honeycomb and Panels. They have all the positive attributes of the NASA-patented polyimide TEEK-H foam made from friable balloons (produced by GFT under the trademark PerForma-H®), yet are less dense and do not require the custom molding, forming, machining, or complicated assembly typically required for installation on complex shapes such as pipe junctions and valves.
