A composite is a composite material that consists of at least two materials. These materials together provide properties that are better than those of the individual components.
With most composites we use, the composition consists of different combinations of (synthetic) resins and synthetic fibers for reinforcement. If these are combined in a production process, we speak of fiber-reinforced plastics. The many components and different processes that can be used make composites extremely versatile and efficient. They usually result in lighter, stronger and more sustainable solutions compared to traditional materials.

Creativity with composite always starts with an idea. Our creativity and technical knowledge is appreciated by many clients. Technically challenging projects suit us best; we are your parter in every stage from design, development, engineering, validation, to the 0-series and / or (series) production and quality control.
For over 25 years we have developed successful composite products together with our customers. Engineering is the basis of all designs and an absolute requirement for the successful development of composite products. In addition to our own engineers, we also work with Solico BV for complex engineering challenges.
We manufactur our composite products using the VARTM production process or by means of pre-pregs. Fixed assets to produce high-quality composite products include a large autoclave, several ovens, the largest of which has a capacity of 600 m3, a fixed flat mold of 27 meters length, two large spray booths of 19 meters each, a large CNC water cutting machine. and much more.
In our modern and clean composite factory it's pleasant and efficient to produce. We work as cleanly and sustainably as possible, with an experienced team of engineers, work planners and production staff. Every phase of the production process, quality control is structurally carried out according to the ISO 9001 standard.
How are composites made?x
There are many ways to process composites. The processing method must be considered at an early stage of the production process to determine which one is best for each application.
The performance of the finished part is influenced by both the properties of the component materials and also by the way in which the fibers are processed. Better fiber alignment and higher pressure during processing will improve the fiber volume fraction, leading to better mechanical properties.
The costs of materials, machine tools and equipment, the required finished properties and the quantity of parts to be produced are all crucial factors in determining the ideal production process.
Large autoclavex
An autoclave is a combination between furnace and pressure vessel in which temperature and pressure are adjustable. In an autoclave composite products are cured under (high) pressure and temperature. Due to the increased pressure and temperature, a high fiber volume content and a low content of air inclusions are possible, which gives optimum results.
Our autoclave is one of the largest autoclaves in the Netherlands (and perhaps Europe) and has internal dimensions of 6.5 x 2.2 meters. Enough space for many large, heavily loaded constructions.
The curing process of composites is controlled with temperature and pressure and is therefore controlled. In this way we guarantee you the best product that meets the highest quality requirements. Strong and original Dutch composite top quality that we are proud of.
