Composites and caste polymer products have one special feature; the material, a combination of matrix resin, reinforcements and fillers, is born at the same time as the final product is manufactured. This sets stringent requirements on all of us in the production chain, from petrochemicals to thermostat polymers and further to the final fiber reinforced or caste polymer product.
