Fortium™ High Glass Fiber Composites
Fortium™ is a series of composite materials reinforced with 40% - 65% discontinuous glass fiber. This high level of reinforcement imparts high strength and impact resistance to these composite materials. The discontinuous nature of the reinforcement allows these materials to be molded into complex geometries by compression molding processes.
The use of various thermoset resins, like polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and vinyl ester/urethane hybrids, imparts outstanding temperature resistance and toughness to these composite solutions. This choice of resins and various reinforcement levels also provides IDI Composites with a great deal of flexibility to optimize the cost and density of these composite materials putting them on par with aluminum and steel on a performance to weight basis.
