Plastics Solutions
Composites
Their heterogeneous structure, anisotropic mechanical and thermal behaviour, as well as the normal abrasive nature of some of their components, make machining a composite a great challenge.
At Bronymec, we have developed a machining service that is specifically for composites and that is constantly evolving.
Advantages of composites
Composite materials made up of two or more elements which allow the combined properties of both constituents to be obtained.
Lightweight parts with high mechanical properties
Excellent electrical and thermal insulation
They are highly resistant to corrosion
Among all the possible combinations, we have specialised in fibre reinforced plastics (FRP). They are obtained from our wide range of composite materials, the most used in industry, by combining different matrices and reinforcements:
| Polymer Matrix | Fiber Reinforcement |
|---|---|
| Epoxy (EP) | Glass fiber (GC) |
| Phenolic (PF) | Glass Mat (GM) |
| Unsatured Polyester (UP) | Cellulose Paper (CP) |
| Silicon (SI) | Cotton (CC) |
| Polymide (PI) | Mica (MP) |
| Melamine (MF) | Carbon fiber (CF) |
Manufacture of insulating and/or structural parts
We can manufacture lightweight parts with optimal mechanical properties from composites. They offer excellent electrical and thermal insulation in addition to high stiffness and mechanical strength.
We are specialists in resolving complex technical challenges in the field of electrical and thermal insulation.
We have, furthermore, a large stock of plates, bars and tubes that allows us to offer a fast response to the needs of the market.
Applications of composites
The advantages that composite materials offer has led to an increase in their use in different sectors, especially due to their excellent electrical/thermal insulation properties and to their high strength-to-weight ratio. In addition to their traditional use in sectors such as electrical, steel and those industries with high thermal requirements, new industries have adopted the design of their components to new and advanced composites.
