applications
Protension preforming technology can be used for various geometries. Although the manufacturing technique is based on rotational symmetry, the flexibility of the preform accounts for more freedom in shape.
Double or highly curved composites
Double or highly curved composites are hard to produce using traditional lamination techniques. The fibre architecture of Protension preforms is produced in 3D, eliminating all problems of producing curved parts with flat weaves or uni-directionals.
Motorcycle helmets
Protension Composites co-develops its preforms with the motorcycle helmets industry. The high level of reproducibility and the possibility to use the preforms in the existing production facility are attractive features to helmet manufacturers. The exclusive use of continuous fibres and the absence of any segmentation in the laminate improve product performance.
New apps
Protension is always looking for new applications of the preform technology. If you think your composites can be improved by our technique, or if you want to discuss the possibilities, please feel invited to give us a call.
