Strength to Weight Improvement

Composites are frequently used due to their ability to offer high strength while retaining minimum weight. While hand lay-ups offer impressive properties, these properties can be improved upon using various methods of strength-to-weight improvement. Use of sandwich cores such as balsa, vinyl foam, or Nomex Honeycomb can quickly add strength and rigidity without significant weight increases. Variations in lamination technique such as vacuum bagging or vacuum infusion can also help reduce weight by eliminating excess resin. We offer a full line of cores, vacuum bagging materials, and infusion items designed help you improve your strength-to-weight ratios. From vacuum tubing to peel ply to infusion flow media, we are your one stop shop for all your composite needs. Curious about these products?
