These methods include:
PULTRUSION
• Fibers are impregnated with liquid thermoset
resins, then pulled through a heated die to cure
the resin and form the product
• This continuous, automated manufacturing
process creates constant cross section profiles
of any pre-determined length with consistent,
uniform quality and exceptional mechanical
performance
• Applications include rods and profiles of various
lengths and complexities, such as utility poles,
insulator core rods and structural beams
CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING
• Combines the principles of filament winding with
pultrusion to create constant or tapered cross-
sectional tubing in precision sizes
• The unique axial and biaxial fiber orientation
provides flexural and tensile strength, as well as
crush and burst resistance
• Applications include lightweight shelter frames
and sporting goods components
CONTINUOUS RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (CRTM™)
• Engineered core materials are sandwiched
between structural composite laminate face sheets
• Continuous composite sandwich panels feature
high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Applications include ballistic resistant panels,
truck floors and rail car doors
CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS
• Fully recyclable tape, X-Ply™ (0°/90°), and other
multi-ply configurations with widths up to 10' wide
• Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths,
up to 6" thick and 10' wide
• High volume production capacity
• Applications include structural and aerodynamic
components in transportation, and reinforcement
of materials such as wood and metal
THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES & BARSTOCK
• Unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates
and hybrid composites engineered to maximize
deflection and fatigue resistance
• Customizable shapes and sizes
• Applications include archery bow limbs, flat
springs, prosthetics, sporting equipment
THERMOSET FINISHING OPERATIONS
• Customized finishing capabilities for barstock and
laminates including machining, water-jet cutting,
profiling/shaping, sanding, slitting, laminating,
molding and coatings
TESTING CAPABILITIES
• Mechanical – Flexural, tensile, compression, shear,
fatigue, impact resistance
• Physical – Specific gravity/density, Barcol
hardness, water absorption, void content,
resin/fiber content, dye penetrant, viscosity
• Thermomechanical – Coefficient of linear thermal
expansion, glass transition temperature, deflection
temperature, degree of cure, curing properties
• Electrical – High-voltage, low current dry arc
resistance of solid electrical insulation, dielectric
strength, water diffusion
