    Examples of Composite Materials

    As the world-leader in composite manufacturing, ICE uses a variety of composite materials to create high-quality, custom products of all shapes, sizes, and complexities. Our composites have expanded the manufacturing possibilities of virtually every industry; providing a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel. Whether the design calls for woven/twill, colored fiberglass, silver texcilium, or uni-directional carbon, we only use the best composite materials for the application at hand.


    Sports and Recreation

    Material(s): Carbon fiber

    Products: Windsurfing masts, bicycle frames, backpacking canisters, hang glider components, stand up paddle (SUP) shafts and blades, kayaks, rowing shafts, and paddles

    Benefits: Composites have durable flex properties and can withstand moisture without rusting, making them the material of choice for nautical applications, such as boating and other water sports.

    Our Capabilities

    Military and Law Enforcement

    Material(s): Kevlar, composite fibers

    Products: Bullet-proof vests, protective helmets, and other ballistic protection devices

    Benefits: Composite materials are used in protective body armor, as the material is strong enough to repel bullets, flames, and some explosives.

    Our Capabilities

    Aerospace & Renewable Energy

    Material(s): Carbon fiber

    Products: UAV primary flight structures, tie rods, compression struts, high-altitude telescope structures, cooling tubes, shuttle actuator mounts, and turbine fan blades

    Benefits: Improved weight savings, increased fuel efficiency, enhanced durability, and superior structural properties make composite materials ideal for aerospace applications.

    Our Capabilities

    Automotive

    Material(s): Carbon fiber

    Products: Drive shafts, suspension control arms, structural braces, crash structures, and seat structures

    Benefits: Composites have both cosmetic and functional applications when used for automotive applications. In automobile chassis, for instance, composites offer a smooth, sleek finish that car enthusiasts love, and their lightweight properties not only improve fuel efficiency but also decrease vibrations.
