Abstract

A heat protection material for a surface, made of a mixture comprising a resin, cork granules and refractory fibers, wherein the proportion of cork granules in the mixture is 50 to 80% by mass.

Claims (21)

1. Ablative heat protection material for protecting a surface from heat, realized using a mixture comprising a resin, cork granules and carbon fibers, wherein the ablative heat protection material is designed for flows, from 0.1 to 0.3 MW/m2;

wherein the proportion of cork granules in the mixture is a percentage of 50 to 80% by mass;

the density of the material is reduced to a value of the order of 0.25 to 0.35 kg/1 and wherein the resin is an epoxy resin or a phenolic resin with a percentage by mass in the mixture of 10 to 35% so that resin, cork, and carbon fibers form in excess of 85% of said material.

2. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion of cork granules is from 65 to 70% by mass.

3. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the percentage by mass of resin in the mixture is between 20 and 25%.

4. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the percentage by mass of carbon fibers is between 1 and 11%.

5. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 4 , wherein the percentage by mass of carbon fibers is between 9 and 11%.

6. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 4 , wherein the percentage by mass of carbon fibers is between 1 and 5%.

7. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is phenolic resin.

8. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is an epoxy resin, with a percentage by mass in the mixture of 10 to 30%.

9. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 8 , wherein the percentage by mass of epoxy resin in the mixture is between 20 and 25%.

10. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 8 , wherein the epoxy resin is two components resin, said components having the same proportions by mass.

11. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the percentage by mass of carbon fibers in the mixture is between 10 and 15%.

12. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 11 , wherein the percentage by mass of carbon fibers in the mixture is between 10 and 12%.

13. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , comprising 0.5 to 1.5% percentage by mass of fungicide.

14. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the cork is flame-proofed cork.

15. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon fibers have a length between 0.5 to 3 mm.

16. Ablative heat protection material according to claim 1 , having a density after degassing is between 0.25 and 0.30 kg/l.

17. Ablative protection material according to claim 1 comprising a mass percentage of cork between 60 and 65%, a percentage of carbon fibers between 12 and 15% and comprising phenolic resin.

18. Ablative protection material according to claim 1 comprising a mass percentage of cork between 65 and 70%, a percentage of carbon fibers between 3 and 5% and phenolic resin.

19. Ablative protection material according to claim 1 comprising a mass percentage of cork between 40 and 60%, a percentage of carbon fibers between 10 and 15% and epoxy resin.
