Kirkhill, Inc.

On the Space Launch System (SLS) Kirkhill rubber insulation protects the case and igniter metal hardware from the harsh internal motor environment where temperatures can exceed 5,000F and pressures can reach 1,000 psi. It also protects the external motor joints from weather on the Launchpad and from heating during the flight.

Kirkhill wishes a relaxing day off to our employees and customers. Happy Labor Day and thanks for all you do throughout the year! #Kirkhill #HappyLaborDay #thankful

The complex nature of pressurized aircraft doors and hatches calls for bespoke seals, something that Kirkhill has a long pedigree in. The design of aircraft doors, hatches and operable windows can be very complex in nature and therefore requires highly engineered seals underpinned by rigorous qualification campaigns. It is imperative that these seals are completely airtight to prevent water ingress when idle and to ensure the cabin can be pressurized.
