Although composites have been used since the first brick was formed, new composites are wonders of materials science. Our state-of-the-art composite testing laboratories are ISO 17025 accredited. 

Composite testing is increasingly crucial for aerospace, military, power generation, and transportation applications. By combining desired properties of ceramics, polymers, metals, glass, cellulose, and other materials, advanced composites protect spacecraft from the heat of launch or stop bullets as a layer in lightweight body armor.
