Hand-Lay

pattern making: a wooden pattern Hand-Lay is the lamination of Fibreglass and resin to the required thickness by hand.

Spray-Lay

Spray-Lay is the lamination of glass and fibre with the aid of a chopper gun to speed up the process. The GRP is then hand rolled. This is a fast method used in the production of large moulds.

Carbon Fibre

The use of carbon fibre rather than glass produces a very light and strong material. This is used where light weight and strength are essential. In addition to it's well documented use in aeroplanes and racing cars this material is being used more and more in high performance sporting equipment in everything from bicycles to golf clubs. This material is either hand layed or sheets of prepared carbon fibre and resin are used.

Fire Resistant Phenolic Mouldings

Some products need to be highly resistant to fire, smoke, the spread of flames and high temperatures. Because Phenolic materials have remarkable performance in this area they are used, amongst other things, as a construction material in aeroplanes and for panels and seats in cars. Phenolic mouldings are invaluable in helping manufacturers to meet ever more stringent health and safety concerns.

Elite Composites manufacture Fire Resistant Phenolic Mouldings to the highest standards. Our large capacity curing oven has allowed the company to under take the manufacture of a whole raft of fire resistant mouldings for different customers including the MOD and the automotive industry.

Solid Surface Casting

Solid surface casting is used to produce granite effect finishes. Polymer chips are suspended in resin to produce the required effect.

Vacuum

Sealing the layed out resin and fibre in a vacuum bag, squeezes the air from the composite material and gives more strength.

CAD Design

In cad design, computer automated drawing is used to facilitate design.

Pattern Making

Pattern making is the production of a wooden pattern for the mould.

Mould Making

Moulds are made in GRP and then used in production. A chemical layer separates the mould from the article being manufactured.
