Defense & Aerospace Industry Insulation Solutions
Defense, space and aviation facilities demand far higher engineering precision than conventional industrial plants — and their insulation determines not only energy use but test accuracy and safety. ERATHERM is one of Türkiye's few companies providing end-to-end defense insulation: design, engineering, material selection, application and control. From cryogenic test chambers running to −170 °C and TVAC vacuum systems to MLI, thermal-barrier coatings and acoustic cabins, every system is engineered to space standards — proven on critical projects including the TUSAŞ–TAI Satellite Test Center.
−170 °C · Space-Standard
−170 °C Cryogenic Insulation for Space-Condition Testing
Test, vacuum and thermal-cycle chambers that prepare satellites for space operate between −170 °C and +150 °C. At these conditions, standard industrial insulation simply does not work — wrong material selection causes structural deformation and condensation, and even a few millimetres of error can invalidate a test result.
- Cryogenic insulation design with PUR, PIR, aerogel and cellular glass
- Mounting techniques suitable for vacuum environments
- Heat-bridge-free detail solutions and moisture-control engineering
- Indoor thermal stabilization for repeatable test accuracy

- Material systems selected for emissivity and thermal behaviour
- Integrated with cryogenic, vacuum and high-temperature expertise
Thermal Test Chambers for Unmanned Platforms
Qualifying unmanned platforms means reproducing extreme thermal environments with repeatable accuracy. ERATHERM designs and insulates thermal test chambers and environmental enclosures for UAV and UCAV programs, where chamber stability and heat-bridge-free detailing directly determine test validity.
- Environmental and thermal test chamber insulation
- Stable, repeatable internal conditions for qualification testing
- Cryogenic-to-high-temperature envelope under one engineering scope

Defense & Aerospace Insulation — Common Questions
Why does defense and aerospace insulation require special engineering?
Defense, space and aviation facilities need far higher precision than conventional plants. Insulation here protects test accuracy and safety, not just energy — and a few millimetres of error can invalidate a test result or cause structural deformation and condensation. ERATHERM applies space-standard cryogenic design, vacuum-suitable mounting, heat-bridge-free detailing and moisture-control engineering.
What temperature range do defense test chambers require?
Satellite test, vacuum and thermal-cycle chambers typically operate between −170 °C and +150 °C. ERATHERM has delivered one of Türkiye's first −170 °C cryogenic insulation applications, proven at the TUSAŞ–TAI Satellite Test Center.
Which areas in the defense industry require insulation?
Satellite test centers (TVAC and thermal-cycle chambers), command and control centers, radar facilities, ammunition storage and production, missile and rocket integration and test sites, military fuel storage tanks, engine and turbine test cells, precision laboratories, composite and propulsion facilities, and environmental test chambers.
Which insulation systems does ERATHERM use for defense?
Cryogenic insulation (PUR, PIR, aerogel, cellular glass), high-temperature materials (ceramic fiber, rock wool, microporous), reflective foil and MLI systems, thermal-barrier coatings, vacuum insulation, acoustic cabins, turbine and engine jackets and panel systems for precision chambers.
Has ERATHERM worked on satellite test centers?
Yes. ERATHERM executed cryogenic insulation at the TUSAŞ–TAI Satellite Test Center — among the most advanced engineering examples in the sector and a strategic contribution to defense-industry infrastructure.
Does ERATHERM support defense shutdowns and revisions?
Yes. Defense shutdowns are more critical and time-limited than commercial ones. ERATHERM pre-plans material and manpower, prepares scaffolding, access and insulation details, applies with minimal disruption and delivers QA/QC and test reporting to shorten shutdown periods.
