THE KEY LIES IN THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF MATERIALS

Fibre composite materials consist of two main components: the fibres, which are responsible for mechanical strength and stiffness, and the matrix, which embeds, protects, and evenly distributes the loads across the fibres.

Used Fibre Materials

Their success secret lies in the combination of high specific strength, low weight, and excellent resistance to environmental influences. The selection of the right fibre plays a crucial role, as it significantly determines the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of the composite material.
