Optimal for Corrosion Mitigation in Critical Environments
Dual Laminate Equipment & Structures
A two-constituent composite in which thermosetting Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP/GRP) represents the basic structural element while any of a wide range of available thermoplastics represent the mating service face. While maintaining separate identities, upon either soluble or mechanical joining, the integrated materials, in effect, form a single construction. Essentially, FRP/GRP is employed for its durability and Thermoplastics for their extraordinary impermeability
Application
Dual Laminate construction cost effectively extends the practical performance range of FRP/GRP while outperforming numerous metal alloys. Enhanced physical properties, including chemical, thermal, and abrasion resistance, continue to drive the use of Dual Laminate as the material of choice for demanding and critical service environments, most notably, corrosion mitigation. Dual Laminate is proven unequaled in high-purity liquid and gas process
Valuable Experience, Contemporary Processes
As an internationally acclaimed authority drawing upon experience extending to a fourth decade, Composites USA is uniquely qualified in the design, manufacture and construction of Dual Laminate process equipment and structures. Utilizing applied pressure, thermal, and vacuum forming processes, Thermoplastic materials are infinitely shaped to accommodate the most complex design configurations. FRP/GRP laminates are produced under hand lay-up, filament winding, and numerous vacuum-forming processes.
