About Nexolve
NeXolve is a nationally recognized leader in the research and development of polyimides and polyimide based thin film structures.

For over 40 years NeXolve has worked closely with NASA, DoD and the commercial sector to design and produce advanced polymer-based materials for numerous applications. NeXolve is a world-renowned supplier of very thin (down to 2 microns) reflective space-durable polyimide film used for solar-sail and drag-sail applications. NeXolve material is also routinely used in the electronics, medical, and oil & gas industry. With a team of Ph.D polymer and analytical chemists, NeXolve has developed and manufactures established product lines as well as customized solutions.

NeXolve research and development has also led to patents of multiple polymer materials. NeXolve has a rich heritage in the development and modification of polymer materials to meet the requirements of demanding applications including those in the space environment. With a team of Ph.D polymer and analytical chemists, NeXolve has developed and manufactures products including CP1™ Polyimide, Thermalbright® Polyimide, Essar Stretch™ 255 Polyimide, CORIN® XLS Polyimide, Novastrat® Polyimides, as well as many other polymer and polymer composite products.

Advanced polymer materials are used in some capacity in nearly every industry. Find out how NeXolve materials can help you today.
