CDI-Hallite Aerospace is a collaboration between CDI and Hallite, bringing together advanced materials, precision manufacturing, and deep engineering expertise for mission-critical aerospace and defense systems.
CDI-Hallite Aerospace is a collaboration between CDI and Hallite — two separate companies, both part of the Michelin Group, working together to serve aerospace and defense. By aligning their processes, policies, and customer service, and bringing together their supply chains, they deliver greater efficiency and a more seamless experience across the complete sealing challenge — from material selection through design, manufacturing, qualification support, and lifecycle performance.
Advanced polymer and fluoropolymer engineering, precision manufacturing, machining expertise, and a broad high-performance materials portfolio.
100+ years of sealing heritage, hydraulic cylinder expertise, premium seals, wipers and bearings, CAD design tools, and a global service network.
Advanced materials, precision manufacturing, and sealing application expertise help support longer service intervals.
Integrated material selection, seal design, and manufacturing discipline help support consistent performance in demanding systems.
Engineered seals, wipers, bearings, and contamination control can help reduce replacement frequency and service disruption.
Optimized polymers, thermoplastics, elastomers, and engineered designs can support weight and efficiency goals.
Not a generic catalog. CDI-Hallite Aerospace structures its portfolio around dynamic sealing, static sealing, wear and contamination control, and advanced materials — so the conversation starts with the application, not the part number.
For systems involving motion, pressure, speed, friction, extrusion risk, and wear.
For interfaces where controlled compression, hardware geometry, and surface finish are critical.
Protecting hydraulic and motion-control systems from scoring, debris ingress, friction, and side loading.
Aligning sealing performance with motion, pressure, temperature, media exposure, wear, friction, and weight.
Associated with low friction and chemical resistance for dynamic and static sealing where PTFE-based performance is required.
A Hallite TPU family used across rod seals, piston seals, wipers, scrapers, and static seals in hydraulic cylinder applications.
An engineered elastomer family associated with elastic sealing and recovery for demanding sealing interfaces.
A high-performance thermoplastic family associated with structural strength and durability.
Elastomer options selected by application requirement across temperature, media exposure, and sealing behavior.
Engineered plastics, thermoplastics, and bonded composites for challenges a single material alone may not meet.
Reliability depends on the right combination of material, seal geometry, surface finish, extrusion gap, compression range, installation method, operating conditions, and quality discipline. CDI-Hallite Aerospace engineers the full sealing system — not just the profile and not just the material.
Hallite's digital design resources help engineering teams evaluate sealing options and integrate components into development workflows — strengthened by CDI's advanced material and manufacturing knowledge so geometry, material, and production method work together.
Individually, CDI and Hallite have served aerospace and industrial markets for decades. As two separate Michelin Group companies, they are gaining efficiency by collaborating on this aerospace initiative — integrating processes, policies, and customer service, and combining their supply chains to give customers a more coordinated experience across materials, design, and manufacturing, with the global footprint and supply chain resilience that long program lifecycles demand.
The result is simple for the customer: instead of coordinating separate suppliers, you work with two companies operating as one collaborative team across the complete sealing challenge.
Whether the issue is leakage, wear, contamination, installation, service interval, material selection, weight, or qualification complexity — CDI-Hallite Aerospace can help evaluate the sealing path for your mission-critical application.
