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.
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 CapabilitiesMaterial(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 CapabilitiesMaterial(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 CapabilitiesMaterial(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.
