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.

SAMARITAN in Space: Zero Off-Gassing
Zero off-gassing

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

Air quality preservation

No harmful compounds introduced into the closed, recycled air system of a spacecraft.

Systems

Equipment integrity

No volatile compounds depositing on sensitive instruments.

Crew

Safety in closed environments

Avoids contamination risks and keeps conditions safe for the crew.

Multifocal applications

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.
Nothing grows on Samaritan

Preventing microbial growth in space.

In a spacecraft, microbial contamination is a major concern: cleaning options are limited and the air is recycled.

Concern

Fungi

Aspergillus and Penicillium thrive in low-nutrient, high-radiation environments, degrading materials and contaminating air.

Concern

Bacteria

Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species multiply in moist, enclosed areas.

Concern

Biofilms

Microbial communities that form on surfaces, clog fluid systems and damage infrastructure.

Samaritan

Non-supportive surface

Inhibits the adhesion and growth of fungi, bacteria and biofilms, maintaining sterility.

Samaritan

Enhanced durability

Prevents biological degradation, preserving medical and structural integrity.

Samaritan

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.
