Composites and composite materials typically consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous or continuous second phase. The second phase may reinforce the material, alter electrical or magnetic properties, or enhance wear or erosion resistance.
Elastomers and rubber shapes are available in finished and semi-finished stock formations. Common forms include bars, plates, profiles, rods and shims.
Foam, honeycomb and core materials are plastics, ceramics or metals containing closed or open internal cells or pores for composites, tooling, modeling, insulation or floatation.
Foams and foam materials are industrial products made from low density elastomers, plastics, and other materials with various structures and porosities.
Laminates and laminated materials are made by bonding together two or more layers of material into a finished product. Laminates and laminated materials vary from flexible foil film laminates to rigid circuit board materials.
Sound proofing and acoustic materials are used to attenuate, deaden, or control sound and noise levels from machinery and other sources for environmental amelioration and regulatory compliance.
Thermosets and thermoset materials are crosslinked polymeric resins that are cured or set using heat or heat and pressure. They generally have a higher resistance to heat than thermoplastics.
Vibration isolators and machine mounts are used to mount and/or level machines, motors, appliances and other devices that require leveling, vibration dampening, or load distribution.
