Composites – Durable and Versatile Materials for Repair and Construction
Composites are combination materials that merge the best properties of two or more substances. They are lightweight, yet extremely strong and durable – which is why composites are widely used across various industries, both for professional and hobby purposes.
With composite materials, you can repair, reinforce, or build almost anything – whether it’s a boat, a car, sports equipment, or even a designer object.
Common Applications:
- Boat repair and reinforcement: hulls, cracks, reinforcements
- Sports equipment: e.g. hockey sticks, skis, bicycle parts
- Car repair: reinforcements, plastic part repairs, structural strengthening
- Construction and renovation: walls and roofing structures, laminates, prototypes
- Art and design: lightweight yet durable structures and shapes
Composite Types at a Glance:
- Epoxy resin + fiberglass: A very strong and versatile combination suitable for a wide range of repairs and construction tasks. Excellent adhesion and durability.
- Polyester resin + fiberglass: A cost-effective and faster-curing option, ideal for boats and larger surfaces.
- Carbon fiber + epoxy resin: Lightweight and extremely strong – a high-performance solution for demanding technical and sporting applications.
- Kevlar fiber: Exceptional impact resistance, often used together with epoxy for added toughness.

Fiber-reinforced composites
- They are lightweight and strong structures
- They save energy in vehicles
- They stay airborne and float on water
- They resist corrosion in pipes and tanks
- They insulate against heat and electricity – or can be made electrically conductive if needed
- They can even be manufactured by hand in a home garage
- Even large products can be made on-site without massive factories or investments
- They are easy to transport and install
- Their strength can be locally optimized
