Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Traditionally, heavier materials were considered more durable and stronger. However, advancements in engineering and design have shown that lightweight materials can offer exceptional strength. For example, in construction applications like bridge reinforcement and seismic retrofitting, carbon fiber composites are used because they provide exceptional strength with minimal additional weight, significantly enhancing structural performance without substantial weight increases.
Our materials can reach lengths of up to 144″ with minimal bending and deflecting.
