Whitecap Composites uses the latest composite manufacturing technologies to create high-performing structures for the most demanding applications.
Why composites?
- Composites are light in weight compared to most woods and metals
- Composites can be designed to be much stronger than steel
- Composites are resistant to harsh weather and chemicals
- Composites can be made to absorb impacts or the blast from an explosion
- Composites can be easily molded into complicated shapes
- A single composite piece can replace an entire assembly of metal parts
- Composites can retain their shape or size in temperature and moisture
- Composites are not magnetic, so they can be used around sensitive electrical equipment
- Composites don’t block radar signals, making them ideal for places where radar equipment is operating
- Composites are good insulators because they don’t easily conduct heat or cold
- Structures made of composites have a long life and require little maintenance
