We have several types of custom materials available, including Matrix HT and Carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber is made from filaments of carbon that are heated and stretched into thin fibers. The long, thin fibers are then braided or woven into a fabric.
This material has a reputation for being lightweight but strong. It’s ideal for industries that value strength and low weight, such as the consumer goods, automotive, and aerospace industries.
Carbon fiber comes in multiple formats, including sheets, fabric, and braids. Often, the material is combined with a resin to produce a sturdy composite.
Matrix HT is a relatively new thermoset composite material. It consists of a mix of high-temperature resin binders and woven fiberglass. It can retain its insulating and mechanical properties up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
The material has excellent impact strength and flexural strength. It won’t melt at high temperatures and is also resistant to chemicals, acids, alkaline materials, and moisture. Matrix HT retains its strength, unlike thermoplastics.
There are numerous benefits to using custom materials for your projects. You receive the peace of mind of knowing that the materials you’ve chosen meet your exact specifications. You can also select composites that fulfill your needs, whether you’re looking for high strength, moisture resistance or temperature resistance.
You can use custom thermoset materials for applications across multiple industries, such as:
