Arceon

Arceon is a Dutch advanced materials company based in the Netherlands, operating out of the ESA space cluster in the Noordwijk area, that produces Carbeon — a proprietary silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix ceramic matrix composite (SiCf/SiCm CMC) capable of maintaining structural integrity at temperatures up to 1600°C, with excellent oxidation resistance and low density compared to refractory metals. Ceramic matrix composites represent the materials frontier for extreme-temperature aerospace applications: unlike ablative thermal protection systems (PICA, AVCOAT) that erod
