About Xenecore

Xene Corporation is an international composite manufacturer that invented, patented and sells a thermoplastic microsphere product called “Xenecore” (pronounced “ZEEN-core”). It’s a revolutionary lightweight, high strength, durable, shock absorbent and cost-efficient composite material and manufacturing process that is an ideal structural core for composite parts for almost any industry that uses steel, aluminum and carbon.

Xenecore’s solid-filled composite technology creates products from wind turbines to ship hulls to tennis rackets with infinitely more complex shapes and structures within a single mold, eliminating the need for the use of air during manufacturing that deliver more complex shapes and structures. It can be produced in several formats, including a film sheet that can be laid up within a closed mold where microsphere film expands under heat and pressure, producing strong structural foam that strengthens and dampens the end product.

Founded in 2009 in New York, the Xene Corporation has obtained more than 250 patents around the world in composite applications of microspheres. After successfully disrupting the tennis industry with arm-friendly solid-core Donnay tennis rackets, one of, our newest major ventures is shaking things up in the renewable wind energy industry with a Xenecore-made wind turbine system. It has fan-shaped blades to
catch as much as three times the wind of the conventional aero blades that convert the energy into electricity. Xenecore has also been used in such high-profile products as in the hulls and wings of the Boeing airplanes, the aero wind blades at General Elecrtric’s mega wind farm in New York State, the propellers for Black Swan drones and various parts of German-made automobiles.

The company has developed partnerships and distributorships with industry leaders such as Composites One in Springifle, IL. and Dong Jin SemiChem in South Korea.

The Xenecore advantages are fivefold:

Strength and Durability

We can build composite products with more than double the tensile strength of standard carbon fiber offerings.
Xenecore’s solid-filled cores increase tensile strength to any application.
There’s no need for air during the molding process. That means there is a closed loop molded into an object, further enhancing strength and rigidity and eliminates the fallible need to glue parts together means That a closed loop can be molded into an object, further enhancing strength and rigidity, eliminating the fallible need to glue parts together.
Since the inner solid-core is formed during the initial cure, it is a permanent structure embedded into the fibers creating a stronger bond, as opposed to adding “filler” that weakens the bond.
Xenecore has the capability to use multiple cores in a single shape, adding greater structural support.

Lightweight

Better strength-to-weight ratio than any other composite on earth.
Xenecore makes any object lighter with negligible effect on strength.
Xenecore’s solid-filled composition makes it so that any object can have thinner outer layers as well as fewer outer layers without structural integrity loss.
Most objects can be created with multiple inner cores thus creating greater structural integrity without adding weight.
No need for air during the molding process means that a closed loop can be molded in to an object further enhancing strength and rigidity while eliminating the need to glue parts together, lowering its total weight.

Shock Absorbency

More cushion when you need it most.
Xenecore is the only composite to incorporate a shock-absorbing material during the molding process.
With Xenecore’s solid inner core, vibration and shock can be almost eliminated, improving structural integrity and longevity of the finished product.
Xenecore has the ability to limit vibration and shock to within its own cores, reducing the amount of vibration and shock transferred to external objects, improving comfort, noise levels, and structural integrity.
More energy is stored and released in Xenecore’s tennis racquets when they make ball contact. This results in higher energy output and less loss of energy to the user’s hand and less arm-threatening shock.

Custom Manufacturing

Less cost

The per-sheet cost of Xenecore is less than a comparable-sized sheet of steel, carbon or aluminum.
Manufacturing is more cost-effective since Xenecore products are manufactured with a single “unibody” as opposed to the construction process with other composites that necessitates two negative molds and many layers of FPR that are deposited on each part of the molds before the product can be assembled.
Manufacturing time is cut considerably since Xenecore eliminates the need to glue parts together.
The simplicity and elegancy of the Xenecore design results in a cost reduction, compared with the cost of other complex-shaped products.

Xenecore’s total quality control is an approach that extends beyond ordinary statistical quality control techniques and quality improvement methods. It implies a complete overview and re-evaluation of the specification of a product, rather than just considering a more limited set of changeable features within an existing product. If the original specification does not reflect the correct quality requirements, quality cannot be inspected or manufactured into the product. For instance, the design of a pressure vessel should include not only the material and dimensions, but also operating, environmental, safety, reliability and maintainability requirements, and documentation of findings about these requirements.

Based in New York with manufacturing plants in Asia, Xenecore is more than capable of reaching your composite needs. With over 50 engineers and technicians, we are able to ensure your job gets done in time and correctly. We are able to create over 150 square feet of Xenecore composite hourly and have the machinery to customize it to your specific needs.
