Globe Composite is committed to evaluating, designing, and manufacturing components for a variety of different level submersible applications. Globe has constructed 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:

• Corrosion Resistant
• Hydrolytic Stability
• Structural Integrity at Extreme Depths
• Sealing Properties
• Impact & Shock Resistant
• Acoustically Transparent Materials

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. 

Case Study: Nuclear Submarine High Strength Gaskets

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:

• High tensile strength and outstanding elasticity
• Superior resistance to abrasion and tear
• Excellent energy absorption
• Low creep and compression set properties
• High resistance to seawater, oils, chemicals, and UV degradation

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.

Case Study: Developing A Recreational Diving Helmet
How Composites Saved Sub Sea Systems® an Estimated $1.5 Million Over 3 Years

Our 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.
