Markets
Increasing performance demands in automotive, electrical, food service and energy industries, plus the rising cost of molded metals, is conforting engineers to consider thermoset composite technology as a replacement for existing metals.
Thermoset compound material has many unique properties :
Thermoset compound material has many unique properties :
- exceptional strength
- low density
- corrosion and UV resistance
- electrical non conductance
- exceptional thermal properties
These compounds can be used outside and in extreme environments, because they will not rust or corrode.
Thermoset compounds have the advantage of being more economical from a total manufacuring point of view.
Thanks to a better stregnth-to-weight ratio than most metals, thermoset compounds are a reliable substitute for traditional materials.
Thermoset compounds are becoming the material of choice for engineers and manufacturers looking to reduce production costs in new high performance applications, because of their exceptional properties.
