An eggshell is perhaps the best-known composite. However, the type of products MTM Composites manufacture, though not as tasty, are every bit as wondrous.
Composite materials are basically highly engineered combinations of polymer resins and reinforcing materials such as glass fibres that are incredibly strong, durable, flexible and non-corrosive.
The term “composites” is used broadly to describe a large range of materials that have generic reinforcement. These are combined with various resins that can be used for a large number of applications, and are thus ideal for highly engineered materials targeted at specific applications.
They are rapidly replacing products made the more traditional way from alloys and other metals. As raw materials become more expensive so composites become a much more attractive and cost effective proposition.
