Composites are materials made from (at least) two materials with different properties, which constitute matrix and reinforcement. The most common matrices are polymers, and to reinforce composites are used synthetic and natural fibers. Composites posses unique properties, which exceed the properties of the raw materials. Composites are used e.g. in transportation, construction and medicine.
From 3 March 2020, Rastede-based chemical company will offer complete portfolio to composites manufacturers, including Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Great Britain and Ireland.
BÜFA Composite Systems is extending its long-term collaboration with AOC Aliancys. From 3 March 2020, AOC Aliancys based in Collierville (USA) and Schaffhausen (Switzerland) will be responsible for the distribution of BÜFA specialities on the Italian composites market.
