Composite Applications

Switchgear manufacture Electrical insulationproperties and high mechanical strengths combined with good fire protection classifications are typical of Durostone sections used in switchgear manufacture.
Highway and railway engineering Glass fibre reinforced sections are increasingly superseding traditional highway and railway engineering materials. Our components are renowned for their weight advantages. They also provide a good surface for paint and offer an excellent profile of properties.
Vehicle construction The very good thermal properties of Durostone sections are particularly useful to the motor industry. The reduction in weight compared with metals, alloys and non-metallic materials cuts costs.
Industrial and plant construction Durostone sections are becoming increasingly important in market segments extending beyond the traditional applications. Their compact range of properties allows a variety of applications.
Chemical plant construction and medical engineering Chemical industry specifications necessitate Durostone sections with very good resistance to chemicals and other media. We therefore use VE resin grades with accurately defined properties for these sectors.
