Powered by Mirasvit Magento 2 Extensions. More from the Labs:. Initially focusing on supplying original equipment manufacturers with composite components, Rock West will display new custom products, in addition to off-the-shelf products and materials, relevant to the marine market.
RWC will be in booth Targeting original equipment manufacturers OEMs , RWC believes that its unique experience with high-performance industries and commercial markets will enable it to provide high quality products that are both cost effective and schedule sensitive, key issues that are challenging to OEMs. RWC will be focusing on applications including carbon, glass, and hybrid composite free dive fin blades, wrapped and filament wound pole spear tubing, speargun chassis, gaffs, harpoons, technical diving backplates, and mechanical component substructures.
The laminate is quasi-isotropic, strategically stepped and balanced. It has a medium- and soft-flex version available.
Blade dimensions are mm X mm, and it weighs grams. The attachment tendon is a degree angle designed to fit most popular foot pockets. RWC fin blades are designed for high-performance continuous use conditions and are made using the highest quality carbon fiber, fiberglass, and epoxy resin systems and processes.
The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey and administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC.
The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few. Everyone at every level of the business is eligible for the annual All Team Bonus Award. Training and career growth is a key metric in employee reviews. And the company has one of the best benefits packages around.
Even surveys on benefits help to guide improvements for the packages offered to staff. We increased company contributions to insurance coverage for dependents and increased paid time off for newer employees.
Are you interested in joining our team? Check out our Careers page to learn more. Are you interested in doing a project with composites but not sure exactly where to start? Perhaps you know what you want to do but just want a kit to get you going?
We've got the solution! Get started on your own project with our new Wet Layup Starter Kits. We have two sizes available depending on the size of your project and your level of experience. We recommend everyone have a well-ventilated workspace, a work surface that is protected from damage or will not be harmed by potential epoxy resin spills, and as always safety glasses not included.
The small wet layup kit includes carbon fiber fabric, fiberglass cloth, resin and harder packets , hi-temp release wax, gloves, cups, stir-sticks, brushes, and a naca duck mold for your first project, but you can use another mold if you have one. The amount of fabric and resin is enough for a small part or two. If you have a more ambitious project in mind, the large wet layup kit includes greater quantities of carbon fiber fabric, fiberglass cloth, resin and harder full containers , hi-temp release wax, gloves, cups, stir-sticks, brushes, and a wedge to help you remove your part from a larger mold.
Carbon fiber is composed of carbon atoms bonded together to form a long chain. It is basically very thin strands of carbon; even thinner than human hair.
The strands can be twisted together, like yarn. The yarns can be woven together, like cloth. These cloths and yarns can be molded and bonded together into any shape desired. This bond is formed by using heat and pressure, combining the fiber with a plastic or a polymer.
Carbon fiber is five times as strong as steel, two times as stiff, yet weighs about two-thirds less. Carbon fiber has slowly made its way into multiple industries, replacing metal in certain applications. Fiber glass is composed of melted glass that has been extruded though bushings; this produces a string like material. This string is then woven into yarn and the yarn into cloth. Like carbon fiber, this cloth can be molded and bonded into any shape desired but fiberglass takes far less heat and pressure to accomplish this bond.
Fiberglass is similar to carbon fiber in strength and weight but is slightly more flexible than carbon fiber. Lost your password?

The vast majority of fibers used in composites are carbon fiber and fiberglass. Low thermal expansion As opposed to most other materials, carbon fiber has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion. High fatigue level Carbon fiber composites keep their mechanical properties under dynamic loads, rather than deteriorating slowly over time.
Corrosion resistant Carbon and fiberglass composites alike perform well in an acidic or otherwise chemically challenging environment. High strength-to-weight ratio Also known as specific strength, this number allows you to compare materials of different mass for applications where resistance against breaking has priority.
Cost effective Fiberglass composites are less expensive than carbon composites in most cases Non-conductive Fiberglass composites are insulators, which means they do not respond to an electric field and resist the flow of electric charge. No radio-signal interference Radiolucent Glassfiber composites are very radiolucent, which means they allow radiation to pass through it freely.
