Materials

Carbon fibre and glass reinforced plastics (CFRP and GRP) offer numerous benefits over traditional materials and are now being used in a growing number of applications across a wide range of industries. Careful design and engineering by CompoTech enables CFRP and GRP to be used cost effectively, and more manufacturers now use these materials to offer additional benefits to the end product as well increasing their own efficiencies.

Benefits of CFRP and GRP over other materials:

• Reduced weight
• Higher strength
• Higher stiffness
• Non-rusting
• Increased longevity
• Greater customisation possibilities
• Overall lower component cost

Through design and analysis, CompoTech will recommend the exact material specification to most effectively achieve the customer's needs. This may be a combination of glass and high modulus carbon, all carbon or the inclusion of another material such as Kevlar.
