GFRP, PLASTIC AND COMPOSITE SYSTEMS

The extraordinary technological advances in plastics over the past few years has meant that they are now used in industrial sectors previously excluded due to limited knowledge and technical progress.

The improvement and optimisation of their mechanical properties, their resistance to corrosion and abrasion, and the high degree of versatility in their fabrication and assembly have replaced conventional materials in applications ranging from water pipes, through to the aggressive chemical industry and the fabrication of structures for hostile environments. They show improved behaviour in comparison with traditional steel solutions.

Personnel at MTS Industrial are highly trained in working with both thermostable plastics (HDPE, PP-H or PVDF) and composites (GFRP, epoxy resin).
