Composite materials have long been used in passenger and cargo cars and public transport, though mostly under the hood and inside the car. Lately, the popularity of composites in these industries has increased.
Starting with exotic applications, like supercar or Formula 1 bolide parts, the demand for lightweight structures and increased fuel efficiency has motivated the largest car producers to develop composite use in their products.
New high-speed production techniques shift fiberglass and carbon fibre to mass production.
Our suppliers have been involved in all kinds of automotive projects, from under-structure and cosmetic body panels to composite wheels.
Basic materials:
1. polyester resins and gelcoats 2. epoxy resins 3. prepregs 4. consumables for vacuum infusion and autoclaving 5. fiberglass fabrics 6. carbon fabrics
