_Composite rods • JITEC
Cousin Composites’ technology allows the production of composite rods based on glass, aramid or carbon reinforcement, and in a range of diameters from 0.5 to 11 mm.
The dipping impregnation of continuous fibers with a thermosetting resin is the basis of manufacturing. The impregnated threads are then assembled, formed and calibrated. Before rolling on the storage wheel, the composite is then finalised by thermal polymerisation.
• Applications: telecoms – reinforcement of fibre optic cables
