Globe Composite is committed to evaluating, designing, and manufacturing components for a variety of different level submersible applications. In November 2012, we completed the construction of a dedicated clean-room facility to perform the testing and production of high tolerance, submersible-related components. Additionally, Globe Composite has a fully-equipped Quality Control Lab that assesses critical performance measurement requirements, including tolerances and processes, in relation to material and manufacturing. This lab allows our facility and team to serve as a reference laboratory for many of our clients providing UUV, AUV, ROV and other submersible solutions. This is part of the reason the U.S. Navy trusts Globe to deliver over 140 parts and components for submarines.
We have an exceptional level of submersibles experience, ranging from designing to rapid prototyping, to production, and all of the critical testing in between.
How We Help:
The team at Globe Composite can design and produce a wide variety of submersible components from all or mostly composite-based materials. We can custom blend these materials to exactly meet your product’s specific requirements, so you can rest assured that your part will perform as expected- each and every time.
Our Durable, Yet Flexible High-Strength Gaskets for Critical Military Systems
When failure means millions of dollars worth of damage, how do you find a solution to your flawed components? Through composites-that’s how. As a major concern to the nuclear submarine fleet, these failing parts would degrade over time causing them to lose the standard needed to meet physical and dimensional requirements.
Globe Composite manufactures gaskets for the U.S. Navy using a specially developed thermoset elastomer named Brandonite® 1200-60A. This flexible, high strength & highly elasticity material was created by Globe Composite to combine:
Globe Composite developed high-strength gaskets to replace fraying and underperforming missile tube muzzle hatch gaskets made with Buna-N. We formulated a liquid castable, high-strength material that was durable, yet flexible enough to conform to the hatch shape, while assuring a tight-fitting seal at various operating depths.

How Composites Saved Sub Sea Systems® an Estimated $1.5 Million Over 3 YearsOur client, Sub Sea Systems®, provides recreational diving systems to resorts and aquariums worldwide. for their Sea Trek® tours. This rapidly growing company needed a diving helmet solution that was able to function under submersible pressures, sustain the wear-and-tear of everyday use, and withstand environmental elements.
Prior to the development of a composite-based diving helmet, Sub Sea Systems® was using a handmade helmet that took 40 man-hours of labor to produce. Our cost-effective replacement to fiberglass has greater design flexibility, lowered shipping expense, and increased durability.
In this case study you will find the following:
Masts and Electronic PackagingGlobe designed a unique molding approach that was able to assure precise placement of the electronics package and minimized potential scrap associated with incorrectly encapsulating the wiring and electronics, thereby saving rework and improving the overall hydrodynamics and performance of the mast unit. |
Transducer CoversWe can design and fabricate acoustically transparent covers and metallic/non-metallic hydrophone and transducer baseplates for submersible applications. Our transducer covers can be coated with special anti-fouling materials. |
Precision Gaskets & SealsGlobe has developed a new family of super high-strength compliant material that is ideal for demanding gasket and sealing applications. How tough and reliable is this material? It is used as the gaskets for missile hatches on all US Navy submarines. > Learn More |

Vibration-Absorbing Isolation Mounts & Thrust BearingsGlobe can design and manufacture isolation mounts and vibration dampeners for a variety of applications using our advanced, low-durometer, high-strength dampening materials. These dampeners can be bonded to metallic and non-metallic attachment structures or casements such as stainless steel or titanium. |
Mooring and Tethering SystemsGlobe can design and fabricate tethers and mooring system components using our proprietary high-strength elastomeric materials that are ideally suited for the stress and strain associated with commercial mooring systems. |
Monitoring Buoys and Pressure CasesReplacing stainless steel, Globe Composite manufactures instrumentation cases using impact resistant, rust-proof materials that provide years of indestructible subsea use. This all-composite pressure cases can be made in a variety of sizes to accommodate electronic packages and power sources. |

Antenna HousingsGlobe has developed durable antenna housing for large defense contractors, using advanced, impact-resistant elastomeric materials.  |
Acoustic Hull WindowsWe can design and manufacture acoustic-transparent hull covers (“windows”) used for oceanographic research. These windows can be made up to 16 feet long and 4 feet wide. |
Air Handling DuctingGlobe makes high-tolerance, durable, and flexible air duct systems for the most demanding applications. We can reinforce these flexible ducts with rings made from aluminum or steel to prevent compression. Globe provides critical air handling components on all Virginia-class submarines.  |
