Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of
choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural
strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and
chemical exposure.
Drawing on over 65 years of
composite expertise in manufacturing high performance
archery bow limbs - which require consistent, deep
deflection under high loads each time the bowstring is
pulled - the Gordon Composites team has translated
this technology into continuous fiber reinforced
composite springs that are specifically engineered to
meet the rigorous demands of vibratory conveyors.

• Predicts mechanical properties
• Enables the calculation of necessary clamping
force
• Reduces physical trials
• Optimizes tool design and production processes
KEY APPLICATIONS
• Components made from polypropylene (PP),
talcum filled, and glass fiber filled PP with a
minimum part thickness of 2mm
• Automotive structural parts e.g., door panels,
dashboard carriers
• Consumer goods e.g., interior fridge parts,
transport boxes and composters, vacuum
cleaner base panels

GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer
(FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping
power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of
being lightweight and portable.
They are constructed
from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements
combined with a proprietary resin system in a
continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.
