- About NeXolve Corporation
NeXolve Corporation manufactures high-performance polymer materials for aerospace, electronics and display applications. These materials include colorless polyimides, continuous rolls of ultralightweight polyimides (0.1 mil to 0.3 mil), low/zero CTE polyimides, photosensitive polyimides and other high-performance products. In addition to the manufacture of specialized polymer materials, NeXolve produces new compositions and formulations for specific customer applications, as well as manufacturing aerospace flight hardware, such as the five-layer sunshield – roughly the size of a tennis court – for the NASA James Webb Space Telescope, successor to the Hubble.
