Nothing released. Nothing grows.
SAMARITAN’s zero off-gassing property makes it an essential material for space applications, where off-gassing can compromise air quality, damage sensitive equipment and put astronauts at risk.
Key advantages in space.
Because SAMARITAN does not release volatile compounds, it is a safe and effective solution for medical and technical uses on space missions.
Air quality preservation
No harmful compounds introduced into the closed, recycled air system of a spacecraft.
Equipment integrity
No volatile compounds depositing on sensitive instruments.
Safety in closed environments
Avoids contamination risks and keeps conditions safe for the crew.
One material, many missions.
- Emergency medical use: rapid curing and a flexible seal suited to treating injuries in microgravity, where conventional bandages are less effective.
- Versatility in repairs: patching spacecraft leaks, securing components and reinforcing structural materials.
- Sustainability on long missions: a non-toxic, durable composition aligned with space sustainability goals, for safe disposal and minimal contamination.
Preventing microbial growth in space.
In a spacecraft, microbial contamination is a major concern: cleaning options are limited and the air is recycled.
Fungi
Aspergillus and Penicillium thrive in low-nutrient, high-radiation environments, degrading materials and contaminating air.
Bacteria
Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species multiply in moist, enclosed areas.
Biofilms
Microbial communities that form on surfaces, clog fluid systems and damage infrastructure.
Non-supportive surface
Inhibits the adhesion and growth of fungi, bacteria and biofilms, maintaining sterility.
Enhanced durability
Prevents biological degradation, preserving medical and structural integrity.
Health benefits
Reduces microbial contamination, improving air quality and minimizing infection risk for astronauts.
SAMARITAN’s ability to prevent microbial growth and eliminate off-gassing positions it as a critical material for space missions, protecting both crew and equipment.
