Composites: 101
Nil-Cor
Composites Guide
Advanced
composites are a family of high-performance
materials consisting of a polymer matrix
reinforced with a fiber. Nil-Cor
Operations has pioneered the development of
industrial products based on high strength, high
stiffness, lightweight glass and graphite fibers
in high performance plastic resins since 1966.
Graphite and glass
fiber-reinforced plastics are revolutionizing
aircraft, spacecraft and sporting goods products
because of the exceptional performance
improvements in weight, fatigue strength and
durability. By combining these fibers with high
performance plastics, corrosion resistance,
durability and temperature resistance are
achieved that far exceed commonly available
plastics. The Nil-Cor series of valves have been
designed to achieve strengths equivalent to
metals with the inherent corrosion resistance of
these advanced fibers and resins.
Nil-Cor offers a
complete line of corrosion resistant,
fiber-reinforced resin systems which provide
resistance to over 1000 chemicals and chemical combinations.
Nil-Cor materials also
offer good abrasion resistance to suspended
particles and mild slurries. Nil-Cor materials
are unaffected by ultraviolet light.
