Components
High-strength composite parts for structural and repair applications
Matrix Composites & Engineering designs and manufactures advanced carbon fibre and fibreglass components for high-performance structural use. These lightweight materials deliver exceptional mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and durability which makes them ideal for structural repairs, reinforcements, and load-bearing systems.
Carbon fibre and fibreglass composites are formed by blending high-strength reinforcement fibres with a liquid resin. The fibres are typically woven or aligned to control orientation and thickness in each layer This ‘fibre architecture’ forms the backbone of the part, distributing loads efficiently through the structure. Once the final layup is complete, the resin is cured to harden the composite. Most often, a thermoset resin is used, which begins as a low-viscosity liquid and chemically crosslinks into a rigid polymer matrix, locking the fibres in place and delivering excellent long-term stability.
Matrix uses a range of advanced manufacturing techniques, including vacuum infusion, hand layup, and resin transfer moulding (RTM), to produce parts with high fibre content, low voids, and excellent dimensional accuracy. These processes allow for the production of both simple and highly complex components, from structural beams to detailed enclosures and composite tooling.
Carbon fibre and fibreglass composites offer high-performance strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight design. This technology is ideal for structural repair and custom-engineered parts in demanding environments.
