Lightweight Composite Material Solutions Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites Advanced Mobility Composite Structures

Upjacketing is available for pultruded composite rods, and is ideal for loose tube cable designs. Low smoke, low halogen, flame rated and custom colors are also available for upjacketed composite rods. Continuous fiber-reinforced composites in standard and custom shapes & sizes

Is there a difference between polymer composites, thermoset composites, and thermoplastic composites? Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites. Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics.
