AXIOM Materials
Axiom Materials is the world’s largest industrial-scale producer of Oxide-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite pre-preg materials. The company is expanding its CMC portfolio to serve secular growth in Aerospace, Hypersonics, Electric Vehicles, Air Mobility, Refractories, and Green Energy Production.
Axiom Materials operates its High-Temperature Composites Center in Santa Ana, California, USA. The company produces a state-of-the-art family of Oxide-Oxide CMC materials for high temperature continuous use applications in the range of 1400°F – 2200°F (760°C – 1200°C). Axiom is enhancing its current product line with the addition of C-SiC, and SiC-SiC proprietary materials for higher temperature continuous use applications up to 2700°F (1485°C). Axiom also produces a carbon-carbon phenolic precursor with operating temperatures up to 5000°F (2760°C).
Axiom has invested heavily in advanced process equipment and test labs to develop and produce an array of CMC material types:
The CMC materials may be processed via conventional layup and curing techniques, followed by free-standing high temperature sinter cycles to produce components for operation in extreme environments requiring a combination of high temperature resistance and fracture toughness. Target applications include advanced aircraft engines, hypersonics, space vehicles, lithium battery containment, oil and gas piping, petrochemical tubing, nuclear reactors, and refinery furnaces & kilns.
Axiom’s innovations in material science, process improvements, and technical leadership are contributing to the broader use of Ceramic Matrix Composite materials.

Specially formulated resin systems include epoxy, phenolic, polyester, cyanate ester, vinyl ester and polyimide.
Aerospace and Commercial Grade Nomex® Honeycomb to suit most aerospace and commercial applications.
Metal and composite bonding adhesives, surfacing and lightning strike films, and other bonding solutions.
Ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, are advanced composite materials made with ceramic reinforcement and a ceramic matrix. They are used in applications that require high-temperature resistance, fracture toughness, and performance in demanding operating environments.
Axiom Materials manufactures oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composite prepreg materials, including woven prepregs, unidirectional slit tapes, surfacing films, and molding compounds. Axiom is also expanding its CMC portfolio with C-SiC and SiC-SiC proprietary materials.
Axiom ceramic matrix composites are used in applications such as aircraft engines, hypersonic flight, space vehicles, rocket launch vehicles, radomes, missile skins, EV battery packs, heat shielding, fuel cells, nuclear reactors, kilns, furnaces, incinerators, and reactors.
Axiom states that its oxide-oxide CMC materials are produced for high-temperature continuous-use applications in the range of 1400°F to 2200°F. The company also references C-SiC and SiC-SiC materials for higher-temperature continuous-use applications up to 2700°F, and a carbon-carbon phenolic precursor with operating temperatures up to 5000°F.
Yes. Axiom offers unidirectional slit tapes for automated manufacturing using AFP and ATL equipment, in addition to woven prepregs for large structural parts and molding compounds for smaller complex parts.
The right ceramic matrix composite depends on the application, service temperature, part geometry, processing method, reinforcement format, and performance requirements. Axiom provides product-specific data and offers SDS/TDS document requests to help customers evaluate suitable CMC material options.
