    Composite Manufacturing Capabilities

    The Creative Composites Group provides customer-focused engineered solutions using fiberglass/fiber reinforced polymer composite materials that are lightweight, corrosion-resistant and durable.

    Innovative design and manufacturing expertise create products that make customer systems bigger, better and longer-lasting. Introducing the Creative Composites Group of companies to provide customers with a greater array of products, services and capabilities to ensure the optimal solution for any project.

    The combined manufacturing capabilities of CCG encompass the primary processes for fabricating high-performing FRP composite structures. Whether requiring tight tolerances or big parts, the Group has the right manufacturing process to meet your requirements. Anything from 30 mils to 100 feet.

    Being experts in all these processes enables CCG to select the process that delivers the optimum combination of cost, performance and quality. CCG considers parameters including quantity, size, tolerance, structural requirements to provide the best value.

    PULTRUSION

    Pultrusion is a continuous manufacturing process utilized to make fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) pultruded profiles with constant cross-sections whereby fiberglass reinforcements, in the form of roving and mats, are saturated with resin and channeled into a heated die. The profile exits the die in a solid composite state and in the form of the desired cross-section.

    VACUUM INFUSION

    Vacuum infusion processing (VIP) uses atmospheric pressure to drive resin into dry fiber layers after the vacuum has pulled the bag down and compacted the fibers. This is the most economical process for large structural parts at low to medium quantities.

    FILAMENT WINDING

    Filament winding is an automated process that applies resin-saturated, continuous strands of fiber reinforcements over a rotating cylindrical mold. This process creates parts that can handle high operating pressures.

    CONTINOUS LAMINATION

    Reinforcement layers are created by feeding fiberglass fabric onto a roller system. The layers are then saturated with resin, and materials move through rollers or a compaction system. This compresses the layers but also removes air, yielding uniform thickness. The layered composite material is cured by passing between heated rollers or in a curing oven, and then the product is cooled.
