Advanced composites, or polymer composites, are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental exposures. Durability — Composite structures have a very long lifespan, resisting fatigue and withstanding many types of weather conditions. Utility  — Traditional wood and metal utility poles and cross arms are increasingly being replaced by polymer composites because they are non-conductive, durable, and lighter weight than wood or steel, which makes them easier to install.
