ALUCOAT
ALUCOAT is our revolutionary flagship material, with applications in defence, space, automotive and a wide range of other industries. Blending the strength and stiffness of basalt with the conductivity of aluminium, ALUCOAT’s ultra-light, high-performance fibres guarantee resilience and connectivity on earth or in space – at a fraction of the usual cost. Available formats:
For any material combination, we develop customised formats to meet specific application requirements.
