Developing innovative solutions

R&D Service

Our R&D Centre can help you to develop innovative material solutions.

Our R&D

Developing innovative solutions for our customers is a key company ethos and is reflected by our “Innovation beyond composites” approach, delivering application solutions using our materials.

With over 35 years’ industry experience in engineering, and with a world-class research and development function, we are a preferred partner for the development of:

  • Resin formulation
  • Material and process development
  • Material design
  • Material characterisation and testing
  • Lab scale prototyping
  • Engineering support

This involves development of resin systems, reinforcements, design, engineering, testing and maturation of manufacturing processes used to convert the composite intermediate into the customer’s product.

Our company is also at the forefront of developing materials for zero-emission transportation with award-winning developments for highly fire-retarded battery system enclosures and pressure vessels. We continue to bring these and other materials to market.
