Aeronautics

Light weight with the ability to withstand heavy loads and provide excellent resistance to bumps and impact. Aerospace and aircraft applications include overhead storage bins , aircraft toilets and helicopter rotor blades , other benefits from using composites for these application include cost performance , dimensional stability and corrosion resistance s-glass is inher very often used for air craft components such as flight deck armour , and helicopter armour , seats and floors . Apart from their high mechanical performance S-glass composites are inherently non conductive and offer low radar thermal profile thereby providing the military with the opportunity to see without being seen S-glass fiber has proved itself by performing superbly in hazardous environments.

Reinforcements commonly used :

• Preform roving

• roving for weaving

• woven roving

• plied yarn
