THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES

Referred to as industrial laminates. Thermoset Phenolics consist of layers of resin and material which form into plastic when exposed to high heat:

TIMCO TECHNICAL THERMOPLASTICS

Thermoplastics become soft when exposed to high temperatures:

FIBERGLASS COMPOSITES

Reinforced with glass fibers, these composites offer a strength that is comparable to metal yet flexible like carbon fiber:
