Quality materials for bespoke composite systems in infrastructure

A composite is any material made from two or more component parts, with the resulting material being stronger, more durable, more resilient and superior to each of the component parts.

Composite solutions for industrial and manufacturing applications combine a number of resins and reinforcement materials, each with their own desirable characteristics, into a single composite able to exhibit enhanced characteristics.

Composites ultimately combine the benefits of one material with the advantages of others to produce materials that are strong, lightweight, non-conductive, corrosion resistant, maintenance free and easy to install.

Fibre reinforced polymer composites typically comprise a combination of six thermosetting resins and three reinforcement types selected to suit the needs of the application.

Most of our products combine unsaturated polyester resins with glass fibre reinforcements to create incredibly reliable glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites (GRP).

Varying the resins’ di-carboxylic acids and glycols brings a number of different properties to GRPs, including strength, stiffness and water and corrosion resistance.

Depending on the process technique, glass fibre reinforcements are used in the form of rovings, chopped strand mats, continuous filament mats, unidirectional and bi-directional woven fabrics and multi-axial fabrics to provide strength and stiffness as required.

This table outlines how Complete Composite Systems evaluates what should be combined when designing and manufacturing bespoke reinforcement materials.
