Engineered Solutions for High-Performance Markets
Increasing performance demands in automotive, electrical, appliance, food service, and energy industries, among others, plus the rising cost of cast metals, is prompting design engineers to consider alternate materials for new products. Thermoset composites have many unique properties - exceptional strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, electrical non-conductance, exceptional thermal properties - that make them desirable over thermoplastics and, in particular, metals, such as cast steel and aluminum.
For instance, thermoset composites can be used outdoors and in extreme environments, as they will not rust or corrode. And, because many components can be molded along with the part, and require no final finishing, they are often more economical from a total manufacturing standpoint. With a better strength-to-weight ratio than most metals, thermoset composites are a reliable substitute for traditional materials. They are fast becoming the material of choice for design engineers looking to reduce cost in new high performance applications.
