In-house Composite Research Center
Our in-house Composite Materials Research (CRM) Lab is a critical function of our services, ensuring our OEM partners have access to leading pultrusion technology, product development, and testing – to ensure the consistent quality of their products.
Continual Product Development and Research Program
We run a program of product development with all OEM composite products. Through this program, we work towards improvements that can reduce pricing, achieve faster production, and improve performance.
Matrix Research
We invest in ongoing research, including working on matrix research. The matrix is the resin that binds fibers together. The strength and overall performance of a product can be enhanced by improving the matrix.

Composite Quality Management Program
We run 18 different quality testing methods. Many of these are specifically designed for our customers to ensure the highest performance and safety standards for their product requirements.
Quality tests we run on all our products include:
Scanning Calorimeter (DSC): to measure resin quality, glass transition temperature (Tg), and check for the full cure of the resin. If a full cure is not achieved, early failures or breakage can occur.
Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analyzer (DMTA): checks for full cure of the resin matrix. It is also used to gather data during the product development process.
Fatigue testing: involves subjecting the composite product to repeated cyclic loading to assess its durability and resistance to failure over time.
