Composite products are made by combining two materials, one of which is reinforcement (such as carbon fiber) and the other is a matrix (such as thermoset epoxy resin). The combination of fiber and matrix results in composite material properties superior to those used alone. Examples of composites found in nature are wood, bamboo and bone, and an example of man-made early-produced composite is a combination of mud and straw used for more than 10,000 years.
Composite parts provide superior strength and stiffness when lightweight and can be transformed into complex shapes. Ideal applications are large complex-shaped structures, such as fiberglass lids. Composite products are widely used in many applications where high performance and excellent mechanical properties are required, such as aviation, race cars, boating, sports equipment and industrial applications. A wide range of available glass and resin combinations make it an ideal material to meet specific performance requirements. As a result, composite materials replace metal and plastic in many industries and are the preferred material for many new applications.
