Composite materials for infrastructure

Infrastructure includes roads, railway lines, ports, locks and bridges. When we look at composite materials used in infrastructure, we think in particular of applications in bridge construction, in drawbridges and lock structures.

Composite is a versatile and durable material. It has a long lifespan and can be used in almost any form. A big advantage of composite is that it is a lightweight material. In this sector, fire resistance is paramount.

Products such as polyester resins, special resins, gelcoats, reinforcement materials and core materials are widely used in infrastructure. In addition, vacuum injection is widely used within this market, where the product group 'Vacuum supplies for injection' may be relevant.
