Reinforced plastic
Reinforced plastic products are dimensionally accurate, attractive, and durable, and they give designers almost unlimited freedom to use the shapes they want. An excellent feature of reinforced plastic is its moldability for a wide variety of applications. Reinforced plastic structures are also highly resistant to corrosion, acids, and alkalis, as well as large temperature fluctuations. Hand lamination makes it easy to manufacture even large pieces.
Seamless, lightweight, and durable structures
Reinforced plastic can be used in everything from small individual pieces to large industrial applications. Reinforced plastic can be used to manufacture seamless structures that are extremely light, durable, and rigid. Special structures take advantage of the lightness and strength of carbon fiber or Kevlar, among other materials.
Typical characteristics of end products:
- Demanding and large pieces
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Lightweight, durable, and super stiff
- Good heat resistance: optimal properties for indoor and outdoor use
- Excellent surface quality, paintability, and adhesiveness
- Excellent resistance to corrosion, acids, and alkalis
- Almost unlimited design freedom
- Good electrical insulation properties
- Low mold costs per piece
