IDI Composites Announces New Micro Site for Engineered Structural Composites
NOBLESVILLE, IN (USA) - IDI Composites International, the premier global formulator and manufacturer of BMC and SMC thermoset molding compounds, announces a new Micro Site featuring its new line of engineered structural composites (ESC) for high-reliability applications, such as aerospace, transportation, and alternative energy.
The micro site can be found in the "Products" section of the company's existing web site on thermoset molding compounds. Please see idicomposites.com/products/engineered-structural-composites.
IDI's new high-performance product line builds on the most popular properties of the company's standard thermoset products, such as corrosion resistance and durability, but adds to that superior mechanical strength and exceptionally light weight. The ESC Micro Site is divided into three sections: Technology, Products, and Markets.
Technology: IDI's structural composites consist of single and hybrid chemistries using polyester, vinyl ester, polyurethane, and epoxy resins. This hybrid technology combines the best properties of the individual resins to create a unique thermoset composite with enhanced properties. Whether in its native state or built into a hybrid chemistry, the ESC line will always yield exceptional strength relative to its weight.
Products: IDI's ESC product line is available as Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) and Bulk Molding Compound (BMC). Reinforcement fibers for structural composites consist of traditional fiberglass materials, plus carbon fiber reinforcement for applications that require exceptional strength coupled with severe weight restrictions.
ESC products are substantially superior to standard thermoset product chemistries, and dramatically less expensive than metal alternatives. The hybrid technology also allows for green resins to be incorporated, enhancing the customer's position on renewable feed stocks.
Markets: Applications for IDI's ESC product line center on high-strength, light-weight, and thin (down to 0.060" thickness) alternatives to sheet metal. Markets include Military & Aerospace, Transportation, Industrial, Safety, Medical, Electrical, Automotive, Energy, and Marine for components such as heat shields, skip plates, safety helmets, and much more.
About IDI Composites International: IDI Composites International is the premier global formulator and manufacturer of thermoset molding compounds for custom molders and OEMs. The company provides customized polyester/vinylester-based bulk molding compounds (BMC) and sheet molding compounds (SMC) for the world's most demanding markets, including military & aerospace, transportation, industrial, safety, medical, electrical, automotive, energy, and marine.
Headquartered in a 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility and research center in Noblesville, IN (USA), IDI has a strong presence in the international thermoset composites market. To support a growing customer base world-wide, the company operates multiple wholly-owned manufacturing facilities in Europe, Asia, and The Americas.
