We can perforate materials for the aerospace industry.
Perforation has many benefits for all different kinds of materials and industries. We serve clients in a wide range of industries at IPS Perforating, Inc., including the aerospace industry. Aerospace perforation is especially useful for changing pressures. Perforation is also useful for absorbing sound. After all, planes can be very noisy, causing discomfort for passengers on board. With our perforating services, clients in aerospace can ensure they have the materials they need to reduce decibel levels.
We began production in 2005, and with two decades of experience, we are uniquely equipped to address your perforation needs in the aerospace industry. Our state-of-the-art equipment can cut holes of various sizes, which means you can rely on us for standard perforation as well as micro-venting or porolating, the process of cutting tiny pin holes into a material.
We can perforate a variety of materials as well, from woven and non-woven cloth to thin-gauge metal foil, vinyl, plastic, and more. Choose from our 85 “ready now” punch patterns or work with our experts to customize a pattern for the material you need perforated.

FAQs About Aerospace
When it comes to the design of the materials used in aerospace applications, you might not realize how one might differ from the other and how those variations can enhance or decrease performance. For instance, perforated materials offer a number of benefits, which is where we come in at IPS Perforating, Inc. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment to perforate the materials you supply to ensure you can take advantage of what this design feature offers. Some of the common questions we get about perforated materials and the aerospace industry include the following:
How does perforation affect noise?
When used in the aircraft industry, perforated materials disperse sound energy and minimize acoustic reflections. Perforated materials, which are commonly used in the enclosures that house the engine, cabin panels, and acoustic liners, allow sound waves to enter and interact with the underlying absorbent layers. As sound waves travel through the perforations, they lose energy due to friction and are further absorbed by dampening materials underneath the surface, effectively lowering overall noise levels. As a result, passengers enjoy a quieter and more comfortable flying experience.
How do perforated materials help maintain structural integrity during rapid changes in altitude and pressure?
Perforated materials are essential when it comes to handling pressure variations in high-altitude situations like airline cabins, rockets, and satellites. As external pressure drops rapidly with altitude, sealed or non-breathable materials can trap air, resulting in the production of air bubbles that can compromise functionality or cause damage. Perforated holes, on the other hand, allow air to progressively move through, balancing pressure on both sides and avoiding trapped air from building up.
Can you perforate woven and non-woven materials?
Yes. Our machines can perforate both woven and non-woven cloth, along with many other materials. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of patterns to get the look you’re hoping for, or we can custom design a pattern for you.
