Fiber-plastic composites
Whenever low-weight design is a crucial requirement in load-oriented constructions, state-of the art fibre-plastics composites (FPC) are clearly the material of choice.
FPC are superior to other materials like steel, aluminium, or glass. They offer an extraordinary multitude of shaping and colouring options. When applied in integral constructions, FPC also help to reduce assembly costs and the number of individual parts.
Your advantages at a glance:
- High weight-specific stability and rigidity
- High vibration damping
- Very long-lasting
- Breakdown in controlled steps
- Low Heat conductivity
- Lower thermal expansion than thermoplastics
- High electrical insulation capability
- Good dielectrical properties (high-frequency permeability)
- Reistant to agents / chemical persistence
- Very resistant to corrosion and decomposition
- Good shaping properties
- Integral constructions
