Infinite Composites
Infinite Composites designs and manufactures linerless composite pressure vessels (iCPVs) for aerospace, defense, industrial gas, and transportation applications. The company's Type V tanks achieve a pressure-vessel efficiency 22% higher than the nearest competitor across a 141-vessel benchmark, while reducing mass and unit cost by up to 90% compared to traditional space propellant tanks. Development cycles can be as short as 12 weeks versus up to 12 months for conventional tanks.

Problem
Aerospace, industrial gas, and transportation applications require high-pressure storage tanks that are lightweight and efficient, but traditional metal tanks and composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) are heavy and limit payload capacity. This added mass increases transportation costs and reduces the viability of weight-sensitive missions and fuel systems, including for space exploration and sustainable transportation.
Solution
Infinite Composites designs, develops, and manufactures composite pressure vessels (CPVs) that eliminate the need for a separate gas-tight liner, reducing weight and improving performance. The infinite Composite Pressure Vessel (iCPV) achieves a pressure-vessel efficiency, measured as burst pressure times volume divided by weight, that is 22% higher than the nearest competitor across a benchmark of 141 vessels. The company's simplified all-composite design supports higher burst pressure and cycle life while reducing development cycles to as little as 12 weeks versus up to 12 months for traditional propellant tanks. Products serve propellant and pressurant tanks for launch vehicles and spacecraft, bulk gas storage and transport, and other weight-sensitive applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are aerospace and defense organizations requiring propellant and pressurant tanks for launch vehicles, spacecraft, and missile defense systems, as well as industrial gas and transportation companies needing lightweight bulk storage and transport vessels.
