Composite Stitching Rods & Brackets
We provide composite products (rods, bars, angles, tubes and strips) that are lightweight, anti-corrosive and yield high performance mechanical properties for multiple applications. Carbon fiber reinforcements exhibit high strength to weight ratios. The composites have very low coefficient of thermal expansion with excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance. Gateway Composites provides users with a range of geometries (length, width, thickness, diameter) of which all tensile strength, modulus, length, width, thickness, diameter can be customized to meet customer requirements.
PRODUCT CONSISTENCY
Batch to batch consistency in critical to quality characteristics (CTQs). In-line process controls confirmed by in-house lab testing. Quality policies that result in consistent performance cosmetics and handling.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Gateway Composites’ products are engineered with the understanding of what is important to the processor and the end user. We can satisfy your needs whether your appreciation is tooling, sporting goods, infrastructure, marine, automotive or industrial.
PRODUCT CUSTOMIZATION
Application specific products can be customized to meet mechanical fiber performance requirements, length, width, diameter, strength and thickness.
